"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 OSPFv3 Test Tool Data Sheet
- Test tool: Codenomicon OSPFv3 Test Tool
- Direction: Server
- Tagline: Ensuring Routing Security for Modern Networks
Codenomicon OSPFv3 Test Tool helps developers search and eliminate security-related flaws in OSPFv3 implementations proactively and cost-effectively. To guarantee the error-free and continuous operation of modern communications networks, the reliability and dependability of OSPFv3 implementations must be verified thoroughly. Codenomicon OSPFv3 Test Tool has been designed to discover and help eradicate security-related flaws in OSPFv3 implementations.
OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First) is a routing protocol used widely in the IPv6 internets. Routing protocols often constitute a weak point for the network communications of any organization. If routing service is disrupted, all higher-level protocols grind to a halt. For this reason, security flaws in OSPFv3 implementations can have extremely wide-ranging effects for network connectivity both inside and outside a particular organization.
