Rust-proof your code with our new Testing Handbook chapter

Summary: Trail of Bits added a chapter to its Testing Handbook covering security testing of Rust programs, spanning a security overview of what Rust's guarantees do and don't cover, dynamic analysis tools including Miri and proptest, static analysis with Clippy, and manual review guidance. The firm also released rust-review, a Claude Code plugin co-built with Aptos Labs that targets over a dozen bug classes, from memory safety and concurrency hazards to FFI pitfalls and async cancellation issues.
Why it matters: The chapter flags underappreciated Rust failure modes such as unwind safety, nondeterminism, and arithmetic errors, and notes that operator precedence in expressions like a & b == c differs from C - the kind of subtle issue a reviewer can miss without a checklist.
