"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
CROSS
Codenomicon Robust Open Source Software
The CROSS (Codenomicon Robust Open Source Software) program is designed to help open source projects fix critical flaws in their code.
Although in open source all code is available for inspection, bugs and vulnerabilities still plague it just like any other software. Large codebases are too complex to audit manually, automatic source code scanners do not provide perfect results, and many open source projects still have too few resources for dedicated testing. Codenomicon's CROSS program provides open source projects with full access to its award-winning DEFENSICS testing solutions, helping the projects find and fix a large number of critical flaws very rapidly. This differs radically from the traditional model of users and security researchers reporting bugs one by one, while the open source developers continually scrambling to fix the flaws with short notices and limited resources.
At the first phase of the CROSS initiative, Codenomicon has targeted 15-20 hand-picked open source projects. Codenomicon is committed to make CROSS a longer-term sustainable program, continuing to help many more open source projects over time, and embracing the chance to give something back to the booming open source community and its users.
