Codenomicon Oy was a private company founded in late 2001 that developed fuzz testing and cyber supply chain management tools for network equipment manufacturers, service providers, government/defence and enterprise customers.
Codenomicon was acquired by Synopsys in July 2015. Codenomicon's product lines were integrated to Synopsys software integrity groups product portfolio.
Codenomicon's flagship product was Codenomicon Defensics, a fuzz testing platform for locating unknown vulnerabilities in any type of software. Over 270 Defensics test suites were available for fuzzing specific network protocols and file formats.
Codenomicon Defensics test suites used primarily generational fuzzing, a technique in which the test suite fully understands the protocol or file format being tested. For fuzzing network protocols or file formats for which no test suite exists, Codenomicon also offered template fuzz test suites for IP network protocols and file formats.
