TPM 2.0 hardware-bound identity
Impair it. Capture it.
Prove it.
Impairment Engine
01- ›Latency — constant + stochastic distributions
- ›Jitter, loss, duplication, reordering, corruption
- ›Rate limiting + bounded-queue drop
- ›Per-direction control; time-varying scenarios (TOML)
Defensible Artifacts
02- ›Per-port PHC hardware-timestamped pcaps
- ›Structured event log + system-state snapshot
- ›Sealed bundle — SHA-256 manifest, immutable
- ›HTML / Markdown / PDF report with attestation
Control & Posture
03- ›Web UI primary · full HTTP/JSON API · service CLI
- ›TPM 2.0 hardware-bound identity
- ›In-line transparent L2 — no DUT reconfiguration
- ›Per-port PHC hardware timestamping
Drop in-line
Place the appliance on any link. Transparent at Layer 2 — no DUT reconfiguration required.
Author / replay
Define a network-conditions scenario in TOML, or replay a captured one. Per-direction, time-varying.
Walk away
Leave with a sealed, hardware-timestamped test artifact that holds up under technical scrutiny.
Defensible by design.
Prototype available.
CHAOS runs on the ETHRX-ONE hardware platform — a TPM-anchored, hardware-timestamped appliance built for test & evaluation that has to survive scrutiny. The CHAOS-2 prototype reference unit is a candidate SKU available for evaluation today.
