Extensive summary and detailed reporting
Detailed fault reporting allows you to identify and drill down on specific faults as well as easily share information across your organization. Through packet capture and reports, you can quickly reproduce faults and export regression test suite for other platform users to utilize. These reports can be exported into cxv, xml, and pdf files.
Use Cases
Automated QA Testing
The cost of correcting a vulnerability in the field is 65 times greater than if it is found and corrected during development.
Prepared products for certification
Test products in advance to ensure they will conform with industry recognized standards and certifications.
Communication Robustness Testing
Tests Communication robustness for industrial and automation devices,ensuring reliable data exchange under varying network conditions
Vulnerability Discovery Remediation
With extensive experience and deep industry knowledge, we provide insights and solutions that keep you ahead of the curve and other trends as well
Performance Availability Validation

Fault Reproduction & Identification
Allows faults to be reproduced, isolated, and identified, enabling quicker troubleshooting and system reliability improvements.
Test Summary
Port Scanning is one of the first steps an attacker uses to gather information about a system to exploit it and ensuring consistent operation under different load conditions.
Storms: The ability of a device to handle packets varies with packet rate, Achilles can run this test with varying rate limits to determine the maximum value the device under test can handle.
Fuzzers: Fuzzers use random number generation to send invalid packets to test the behavior of the device under test.
Similar to known vulnerabilities, the grammars generate fuzzed versions of a known vulnerability, or traffic that almost triggers the vulnerability
Similar to known vulnerabilities, the grammars generate fuzzed versions of a known vulnerability, or traffic that almost triggers the vulnerability
Damaged packets are sent with small variations in packets such as mismatch in field length.
