Network Operational Tests
Hackers can’t hack what they can’t see.
✓ NVIS lets you create your own personal “invisible internet” that can’t be hacked, blocked, traced or censored due to Layer 2 encryption.
✓ NVIS is an SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) that lets you rapidly create a private cloud of nodes (laptops, computers, smartphones, devices) you want to connect.
✓ With Intelligent Auto-Provisioning, it’s easier, simpler to setup than a VPN, but offers better security and less complexity.
✓ NVIS can do things a VPN can’t, like encrypted full-stack protection and nodes can talk to each other, peer-to-peer. Nodes can be anywhere in the world but operate as one network and members can’t be geolocated.
Nodes can be anywhere in the world but operate as one network and members can’t be geolocated.
These tests show invisibility using NVIS on a Windows laptop to connect to a web server in a private cloud. In this case, our test network tlcnet. Policy is managed by the customer’s network administrator and Intelligent Provisioning Agent.
Quick Install
An administrator can remotely install NVIS or email the user the instructions and assigned (Ethereum) address via their myNVIS portal for multi-platform downloads (Windows, Android, MacOSX, Linux). For this Windows test, here is a shortcut:
Install nvis_windows_inst_beta_0.5.3.0-64bit.exe -a <address>
This makes it easier for administrators to do remote installation via PowerShell or other automation tools.
The Provisioning Agent will automatically assign the network configuration using the assigned address which is the Universal Identity.
Client connects to services and websites on their company network wen NVIS is on:
Test 1: Open the test webhost in Paris via the unencrypted public IP
Browser to http://45.76.45.61 or ping 45.76.45.61
Result: Output is normal.
Test 2: Open the test webhost in Paris via the encrypted NVIS IP when NVIS is ON:
Browser to http://10.0.1.65 or ping 10.0.1.65
Result: Output is normal.
Test 3: Repeat Test 2 with NVIS OFF:
Result: Output shows timeout / failure for browser and ping.
Wireshark Test
Test 4: Try to capture traffic on the public IP address for Paris
Select Wireshark capture device to the WIFi Adapter
Set Wireshark filter to tcp.port == 80 and ip.addr == 45.76.45.61
Start capture
Refresh browserr http://45.76.45.61
Result: Output shows HTTP and TCP packets.
Test 5: Try to capture traffic on the NVIS IP address for Paris (invisibility test)
Make sure NVIS ON
Set Wireshark filter to tcp.port == 80 and ip.addr == 10.0.1.65
Start capture
Refresh browser
http://10.0.1.65
Result: No output showing traffic from 10.0.1.65
Make sure NVIS is ON
Run cmd.exe as Administrator
Find the WiFi Adapter Device number: tcpdump -D (in this case, 6 is the 802.11ac network adapter)
Test 6: Look for public IP packets
From the command line, capture raw output to find packets from the public IP:
tcpdump -i 6 -s96 -w traffic.txt
Refresh browser http://45.76.45.61
Press ctrl-C from the command window to end the capture
Extract IP header info
tcpdump -e -nn -vv -r traffic.txt > t0.out
Search for the IP address in the capture log, e.g., grep 45.76.45.61 t0.out
Result: Output shows many packets from IP 45.76.45.61
Test 7: Look for public IP packets (invisibility test)
From the command line, capture raw output to find packets from the NVIS IP:
tcpdump -i 6 -s96 -w traffic1.txt
Refresh browser http://10.0.1.65
Press ctrl-C from the command window to end the capture
Extract IP header info
tcpdump -e -nn -vv -r traffic1.txt > t1.out
Search for the IP address in the capture log, e.g., grep 10.0.1.65 t1.out
Result: Output shows no packets from 10.0.1.65
Test 8: Port Scanning with NVIS ON
Turn NVIS ON
Launch Advance Port Scanner
Set filter to: 10.0.0.1-10.0.255.254, 10.0.0.1-254
Press Scan
Press Stop after 2 minutes
Result: shows tlcnet hosts and open ports:
Test 9: Port Scanning with NVIS OFF Turn NVIS OFF
Launch Advance Port Scanner
Set filter to: 10.0.0.1-10.0.255.254, 10.0.0.1-254
Press Scan
Press Stop after 2 minutes
Result: shows tlcnet hosts but NO open ports:
Route Cost Test
Test 10: Show routes and transit delays to the Paris node when using the public Internet.
tracert 45.76.45.61
Result: several hops and packet delays seen.
Test 11: Show cost to reach Paris via the NVIS network:
tracert 10.0.1.65
Result: Output shows significantly less round trip time to reach the same host without multiple hops:
File Download Test
Test 12: Download test file from Paris via the public Internet
wget http://45.76.45.61/5MB.zip
Result:
Test 13: Download test file from Paris via the NVIS network
wget http://10.0.1.65/5MB.zip
Result: Download varies, but encrypted speed is often much slower
Test 14: Locate Paris host from public IP
Result: Displays physical coordinates in France
Test 15: Locate Paris host from NVIS IP
Result: Shows an error – cannot locate the host
Access Control Tests

Test 17: Login Remote Desktop using NVIS IP
Launch Remote Desktop Connection to the public 10.0.3.23
Select Show Options and Always Ask for Credentials
Result:
Press Connect
Enter Password: SopranoCastle36!
