Seems all the free byte code verifiers out there are actually pretty old.

Here is the ikvm byte code verifier written in c#:
http://ikvm.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ikvm/ikvm/runtime/...
(6 years old)

Here is the gij one written in c++:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libjava/verify.cc?view=log
(8 years old)

The mauve verify testsuite is here:
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/verify/?cvsroot=...
(8 years old)

There are even a couple of (stand alone) byte code verifiers written in java. bcel and asm contain one for example.

And of course icedtea/openjdk contained one from the start also.
