Cherrybomb is a tool that can help you avoid user behavior. This tool is open-source and can be used by both the OpenAPI and Rust communities.

It takes in an OAS file, runs a series of checks on it to make sure everything is on par with the OAS, and outputs a detailed table with any alerts found, guiding you to the exact problem and location to help you solve it quickly.

  • It can check your logs for business logic flaws.
  • It supports OpenAPI and HTTP Logs.
  • The OpenAPI Specification is a standard for specifying how APIs work. The logs can be used to investigate calls.
  • This makes it easier to use when developing web applications.
