"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."

   Co Creator of Samba

Codenomicon RIP Test Tool Data Sheet

  • Test tool: Codenomicon RIP Test Tool
  • Direction: Server
  • Tagline: Ensuring Robust Routing

With Codenomicon RIP Test Tool, you can eliminate security flaws and vulnerabilities from your RIP routing implementations proactively and cost-effectively. Automated flaw discovery results in significant cost savings in development and produces more dependable and stable systems for your end users.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance vector routing protocol especially popular in small and mid-sized internetworks. Although more comprehensive routing protocols such as OSPF have lately gained popularity, RIP version 2 is still used quite widely due to its light bandwidth requirements and relative ease of configuration. Codenomicon RIP Test Tool helps developers, testers and users search for security-related robustness flaws in RIP protocol implementations, thus improving software quality and reliability.
