@JordiBunster : Nice ! But runtime based. With a large code base (written in C in ly case) you will mainly test your program for the way it had been designed. An attacker can the several thousands required hours at reading the code in order to find a memory leak exploit. I would have expected an automated tool for source code analysis similar to what exist for JavaScript.
