Quick overview● Distribute to every member organisation
● Test and report on compliance with the technical specification
– Authentication mechanism
– Port restrictions
– A few more
● Authenticates as a visiting user
● We only analyse the visited service
Latest additions● Moved from Barrier Breaker to Chaos Calmer
– May require recall of probes
– Not decided on update method for pilot probes
● Added generic port testing
– For ports required open by the technical specification
– Plain TCP/UDP only
– Not for protocols recognised by next-gen firewalls
– Required an update to the way tests are run and results collected
● Added a random offset to timing of tests
Issues we are working on● Port tester problematic behind NAT
● No remote access for troubleshooting
– May use 3G connectivity, coverage issues
● Options for keeping the OS updated
– Would require our own update server or
– 3G connection to oversee/troubleshoot updates
– Distribution upgrades likely to be harder to deploy remotely
