03.02.09 Codenomicon Announces Flagship XML Testing Product  By Doug Caverly Corporations often promote themselves to consumers in one of two ways: emphasizing a rock-solid product (think Toyota) or trying to act cool (hello, Apple). Now, XML professionals should be happy to hear that a company has entered their field with a foot in the first pool and at least a few toes in the second. Let's delve into the fun part to begin. Recognize the phrase "klaatu barada nikto"? Or how about the concept of Bruce Campbell fighting an army of skeletons? Well, it appears that someone might be an "Evil Dead" fan, because the company - Codenomicon - has a name quite similar to that of the book featured in those movies. Or maybe Codenomicon's founder enjoys H.P. Lovecraft stories - even better.
As for the actual offering, a press release explains that Codenomicon "announced its flagship XML testing product allowing the industry to clearly understand the existing security weaknesses in many open source and commercially deployed products taking advantage of XML technology." Codenomicon's use of Fuzzing test methodology is even supposed to let it diagnose previously unknown vulnerabilities, and considering how the recession has caused hackers to step up their game (and grow in number), that seems extremely important. Professor Howard A. Schmidt, a former White House Cyber Security advisor and Codenomicon board member, said in a statement, "Codenomicon has found a critical focus area which expands beyond web testing, where the XML industry has an opportunity to proactively assess the security holes contained in everyday services used by the general public."
