"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 DHCPv6 Server Test Tool Data Sheet
- Test tool: Codenomicon DHCPv6 Server Test Tool
- Direction: Server
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) is a stateful autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6 nodes. This test application can be used to test DHCPv6 server implementations for security flaws and robustness problems.
