Industry Veterans Red4Sec Complete Penetration Test of Official Nano Representative Nodes; No Critical Vulnerabilities FoundDecember 21, 2018 In September, the Nano Foundation enlisted Red4Sec, a leading cybersecurity firm, to conduct a professional and comprehensive audit of the Nano protocol. The audit includes both a penetration test of the official Nano representatives and node software, as well as a full audit of the Nano consensus mechanism.
When we began the challenge of finding a firm qualified to conduct a security audit, we were immediately impressed with the knowledge of cryptography and distributed systems possessed by the Red4Sec team, said Nano founder Colin LeMahieu. Our team is confident that weve landed on the best choice to aggressively test the Nano consensus protocol.
Following the completion of the penetration test, Red4Sec reported that no critical vulnerabilities were found in the representative node software. The consensus algorithm audit is nearing completion and a full report is expected within the next week.
