5 HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode The HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode (Xcode Scanning Plugin) is a plugin that you can use to run HP Fortify Static Code Analyzer (SCA) scans on projects through the Xcode development environment (IDE). It is a lightweight plugin in that it occupies very little space in the Xcode IDE and you use it only to configure and run scans on your source code. The Xcode Scanning Plugin uses HP Fortify security content (Rulepacks and external metadata) installed with SCA. The Xcode Scanning Plugin locates security vulnerabilities in your projects without executing the code. The results include the list of the issues uncovered, descriptions of the type of vulnerability each issue represents, and suggestions on how to fix them. You can either upload scan results (FPR file) to HP Fortify Software Security Center or open them in HP Fortify Audit Workbench for auditing. About Xcode Scanning Plugin Installation To install the HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode, run the HP Fortify Static Code Analyzer and Applications installer (which includes Xcode Scanning Plugin, Audit Workbench and other applications). For installation instructions, see the HP Fortify Static Code Analyzer Installation Guide. Unless your administrator has set up an alternative way to deliver HP Fortify security content to you, make sure that you leave the Update security content after installation? check box selected at the end of the installation. About Xcode Scanning Plugin Upgrades After you install the HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode, any new revisions of the plugin are installed whenever you subsequently upgrade HP Fortify Static Code Analyzer. You can upgrade SCA and Applications manually or automatically from Audit Workbench. For instructions, see the HP Fortify Audit Workbench User Guide. Uninstalling Xcode Scanning Plugin To uninstall the HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode, uninstall HP Fortify Static Code Analyzer and Applications.

6 HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode Configuring Scan Settings The scan and analysis settings determine the amount of memory to use during scans, optional HP Fortify Static Code Analyzer translate and scan arguments to use, and more. To configure the scan and analysis settings: 1. Open an project or workspace in Xcode. 2. Select HP Fortify > Options. The HP Fortify Options dialog box opens. 3. To customize the settings for this project only, select the Use Project Specific Settings check box. If this option is not selected, the settings apply to all projects scanned from this Xcode instance. 4. To specify the amount of memory to use for the scan (such as 2048 MB), type the integer value in the Memory (MB) box. 5. To apply SCA arguments during scans, select the Use Additional SCA Arguments check box, and then, in the Translate and Scan boxes, enter command-line options for the translation and scan phases, respectively. For example, if you include the -verbose command-line option, detailed status messages are sent to the console during the analysis. For information on the available arguments and syntax, see the HP Fortify Source Code Analyzer User Guide. 6. To enable quick scan mode, select the Enable Quick Scan Mode check box. Quick scan mode enables you to quickly scan your projects for major issues. In quick scan mode, SCA scans your project using the fortify-sca-quickscan.properties file rather than the standard fortify-sca.properties file. (You can include additional properties by editing the fortify-sca-quickscan.properties file.) Keep in mind that, although a quick scan is significantly faster than full scan, it does not provide a robust result set. 7. You can review the scan command line in the Scan Command Line Preview area. 8. To open the FPR file that results from scans in HP Fortify Audit Workbench after a scan is completed, select the Open FPR File After Scan check box. 9. Click Save. Scanning a Project or Workspace This topic provides information about how to use the Xcode Scanning Plugin to scan and analyze your project or workspace source code to uncover security vulnerabilities (issues). To scan a solution or project: 1. Open an project or workspace in Xcode. 2. Select HP Fortify > Analyze Project. After the scan has completed, the Save dialog box opens with a default output file name and location that you can modify. HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode (4.40) Page 6 of 8

7 HP Fortify Scanning Plugin for Xcode 3. Click Save. If you have configured the Xcode Scanning Plugin to open the FPR after a scan, the FPR is opened in Audit Workbench. Note: If the FPR file is not generated in the location you specified or, if you configured the Xcode Scanning Plugin so that results opens upon scan completion, but the FPR file does not open, check the sca.log file (located in $HOME/.fortify/sca<version>/log directory, where <version> is the version of SCA that you are using).
