## What it is
Bandit is a Python AST-based static analysis tool from the OpenStack Security Group that finds common security issues in Python code. This OpenStack repository is archived and no longer maintained; development continues at PyCQA/bandit.

## Use cases
- scan python code for security vulnerabilities
- find insecure function calls in python projects
- run static security analysis in CI
- detect hardcoded passwords and weak crypto in python
- audit python dependencies and source for security issues

## When to choose
- you need a python-focused SAST linter and are fine using the maintained PyCQA fork

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained tool - use PyCQA/bandit instead
- you need static analysis for languages other than python
- you expect updates or support from this OpenStack repository

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, linter, developer-tools
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: static-analysis, sast, python-ast, openstack, archived, code-scanning, python
