Scope first
- One scenario and agreed constraints
- KPIs and baselines agreed upfront
- Clear boundaries: public site is intentionally non-enabling
Threat model (evaluation oriented)
- Eclipse style neighbor capture, targeted victim isolation
- Routing table poisoning, gradual or burst injection of biased entries
- Churn, mild to severe, including orchestrated churn
- Sybil note: meaningful evaluation requires an explicit identity or admission control posture
- No operational attack steps on the public site (evaluation only)
- Details and variants available under NDA after scope alignment
What we measure (examples)
- Giant component under churn
- Eclipse susceptibility proxy
- Recovery time after partition
- Mixing or propagation proxy
- Tail behavior under targeted removal
Track
- Backbone failures: reduce worst-case impact posture
- Tail behavior: p95 to p99.9 under comparable regimes
- Operational safety: guard rails, budgets, rollback expectations
How it works
- Scope alignment: scenario, constraints, KPIs, baselines
- Time-boxed execution: stress suites and comparable regimes
- Decision report: pass / conditional / no-go
Typical engagement model
- Scope alignment
- Reproducible run plan
- Execution
- Decision report
Non-enabling on the public site. Results may vary. No deployment instructions.
Deliverables
- Scope sheet: assumptions and scenario definition
- Results summary: distributions, limitations, variability posture
- Optional NDA addendum after scope alignment (when warranted)
Decision report includes
- Distributions
- Worst-case seeds
- Budget consumption
- Limitations
- Pass / conditional / no-go
Reproducibility (where applicable)
- Controlled run steps and runbook posture
- Configs and logging expectations
- Comparable baselines
Clear boundaries
- No enabling algorithmic disclosure on the public site
- No production deployment on a public scope
- Results may vary with constraints and operating conditions
Typical timeline
- 48 hours, scope alignment
- 5 business days, runs and analysis
- 48 hours, report delivery
