    fccf: A command-line tool that quickly searches through C/C++ source code in a directory based on a search string and prints relevant code snippets that match the query.

  • https://github.com/p-ranav/fccf/blob/main/BUILDING.md implies it can build on Windows.

  • weggli

    weggli is a fast and robust semantic search tool for C and C++ codebases. It is designed to help security researchers identify interesting functionality in large codebases.

  • Is this similar to weggli? https://github.com/googleprojectzero/weggli

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Cobra

    An interactive (fast) static source code analyzer (by nimble-code)

  • Have you heard of nimble-code/Cobra? It’s rather obscure, and I cannot remember how I was blessed to come into contact with this tool, but man is it a secret weapon. I typically employ it for vulnerability enumeration, where I apply a series of queries meant to prune low hanging fruits, and another series to infer the coding style of the project.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
