Verification & Network Analysis

SecurityNet’s communication model is designed to be behaviorally observable and independently testable using standard network analysis tools such as Wireshark.

Example verification topics include:

  • mediator handshake behavior,
  • direct encrypted transfer establishment,
  • absence of centralized file storage,
  • transient session metadata,
  • and tunnel lifecycle behavior.

Additional technical verification material will be added over time.


Security Verification

SecurityNet software packages and supporting components are regularly submitted to VirusTotal for independent malware scanning. The reports below are publicly accessible and may be reviewed directly.

SecurityNet runs on both Windows and macOS desktops and laptops.

The SecurityNet Mediator runs on Linux VPS servers.

Below are the VirusTotal reports for each application.  Click on each to open the report.

Windows
Install_SecurityNet.exe

macOS
SecurityNet.dmg

Mediator Service:  Linux_x86_64_mediator — Used for peer discovery and connection establishment. Does not store messages, files, or communication history, and is designed not to retain application-level communication activity.

During testing, an outdated third-party encryption utility generated antivirus detections. Investigation identified the cause as an obsolete AES Crypt version. After upgrading to AES Crypt 4.6, all SecurityNet packages returned clean VirusTotal results.



Mediator Handshake Behavior

During session establishment, the SecurityNet client performs a TLS-encrypted handshake with the SecurityNet VPS mediator (svr2.securitynet.global) to coordinate recipient availability and encrypted session setup.

Network analysis shows encrypted TLS negotiation and mediator communication, but no visible file or message content in clear text during the handshake phase.

Example Wireshark capture showing TLSv1.3 encrypted mediator coordination traffic with svr2.securitynet.global during SecurityNet session establishment.


Direct Encrypted Transfer Establishment

Network analysis during a 141 MB SecurityNet transfer shows the majority of traffic occurring directly between participating devices, while traffic involving the SecurityNet VPS mediator remained relatively small (~431 kB).

Observed behavior is consistent with direct encrypted participant transfer rather than centralized cloud upload or mediator-based file relay.

Wireshark IPv4 conversation analysis during a 141 MB SecurityNet transfer. Direct participant traffic (~151 MB) significantly exceeded mediator coordination traffic (~431 kB).


Transient Session Lifecycle Behavior

Wireshark session analysis shows SecurityNet mediator coordination occurring through short-lived TLS-encrypted sessions.

Observed traffic demonstrates:

  • encrypted session establishment,
  • encrypted coordination traffic,
  • finite connection duration,
  • and explicit session termination behavior.

No persistent long-duration mediator tunnel or centralized upload session was observed during testing.
