"The Codenomicon tools are amazing. Using them is like being attacked by the most relentless adversary who uses every possible method to find flaws in your code
We fixed subtle crash bugs in Samba that had been in the code for over ten years. We would never have found those bugs without the Codenomicon tools.
If you're serious about implementing protocols correctly, you need the Codenomicon tools."

Codenomicon 80211 WPA AP Test Suite Data Sheet
- Test tool: Codenomicon 80211 WPA AP Test Suite
- Direction: Server
Codenomicon 80211 WPA AP Test Suite is a security assessment test tool for analysing the security and robustness of IEEE 802.11 WLAN protocol Access Point implementations supporting the Wi-Fi Alliance WPA standards based on the IEEE 802.11i. The test suite uses the Codenomicon robustness testing methodology to locate flaws in critical Internet infrastructure. The test materials are capable of finding and identifying various different kinds of flaws with varying levels of severity. This is accomplished by feeding the tested implementation with various carefully crafted malformed WPA handshake protocol messages. The tool supports testing Access Points that support either WPA1 (TKIP with MD5 message integrity check and RC4 encryption using the WPA Information Element) or WPA2 (CCS with AES used for both integrity and encryption using the RSA Information Element) mode.
