Dept. of Homeland Security tools aimed at Heartbleed-like security evils

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)  has launched a Web portal aimed at assisting software developers in vetting their code for weaknesses hackers can exploit. The DHS calls this portal the Software Assurance Marketplace, or SWAMP for short. It’s not a ‘marketplace’ in the sense that money is changing hands for products and services, but rather more a place to share tools, techniques and information.
