## What it is
Rudra is a static analyzer that detects common undefined behaviors and memory safety issues in Rust programs, capable of analyzing single packages or the entire crates.io ecosystem. It was awarded a Distinguished Artifact Award at SOSP 2021 but is now archived and unmaintained.

## Use cases
- find undefined behavior in my rust crate
- scan crates.io packages for memory safety bugs
- run static analysis on a rust project in CI
- detect panic safety issues in rust code
- audit rust dependencies for UB

## When to choose
- analyzing Rust code pinned to a supported nightly compiler version (e.g. nightly-2021-10-21)
- reproducing academic results from the SOSP '21 paper
- auditing older Rust packages for known UB patterns

## When to avoid
- analyzing Rust code built with a recent compiler version
- projects needing maintained tooling or workspace support
- ongoing security auditing where actively maintained tools like cargo-geiger or Miri are preferable

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: testing, security, linter, developer-tools
- domain: security, developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: cli, rust
- tags: rust, static-analysis, undefined-behavior, memory-safety, crates.io, archived, linux, docker
