| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Senior Technical Lead at HCL Technologies | 4.5 | We find Codenomicon Defensics stable for US security testing of switches/routers, rating it 8-9/10. While generally easy to use, it needs more advanced testing features and easier installation with better video documentation. |
| Senior Lead Engineer - Product Security at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | We found Codenomicon a good, intelligent tool for testing custom protocol implementations, helping us identify buffer overflows. However, its target-side diagnostics are poor, it's expensive, and protocol support is limited for newer or IoT standards. |
| Application Secutiy Engineer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I found this the only viable solution for black-box DAST on NAS protocols, crucial for our security assurance. Setup was straightforward, and support excellent, resulting in 100% ROI. I recommend it, though understanding its protocols is required. |
| Security Product Validation Apprentice Engineer at a aerospace/defense firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.5 | I evaluated the solution and found its organized, relevant fuzzing and simple GUI effective. However, I noted limitations in custom protocol/cipher support, the mandatory USB dongle, and absence of automatic bug reproduction, unlike alternatives like Peach. |
