Security & Verification

Every release is signed and checksummed. Verify before running.

Check Result
VirusTotal scan aHR0cHM6Ly9n…
SHA256 checksums SHA256SUMS.txt

Verify the SHA256 checksum (Windows):

$expected = (Get-Content SHA256SUMS.txt | Select-String 'NetSentinel-Setup').ToString().Split(' ')[0]
$actual   = (Get-FileHash 'NetSentinel-Setup-2.1.49.exe' -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()
if ($expected -eq $actual) { '✅ OK' } else { '❌ MISMATCH' }

Verify the cosign signature (Windows installer):

cosign verify-blob \
  --bundle NetSentinel-Setup-2.1.49.exe.bundle \
  --certificate-identity-regexp "https://github.com/ossianericson/netsentinel/.*" \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \
  NetSentinel-Setup-2.1.49.exe

Verify the cosign signature (MSIX):

cosign verify-blob \
  --bundle NetSentinel-2.1.49.msix.bundle \
  --certificate-identity-regexp "https://github.com/ossianericson/netsentinel/.*" \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \

NetSentinel v2.1.49

v2.1.49 (current)

  • Fixed device names not showing on App Traffic, Live Bandwidth, and Timeline — devices with a known name previously showed as a bare MAC address on all three
  • Fixed IoT Behaviour Baseline raising a "rate spike" alert on ordinary background traffic for devices baselined during a quiet stretch
  • Regenerated the Microsoft Store screenshot set, which had gone 23 releases stale, and added automatic verification so a blank or wrong-page capture can no longer slip through silently
  • Made the documentation site publishable — internal engineering notes are excluded from the public build, five previously-orphaned pages are now reachable from the site navigation, and several broken links are fixed

  • STP/BPDU rogue Root Bridge detection
  • Broadcast & multicast storm analysis
  • IoT Behavioral Baseline — learns normal device traffic, alerts on deviations
  • Root Cause Correlator — distinguishes ISP fault from local network fault
  • Network Grade (A–F) across 8 dimensions — uptime, latency, jitter, DNS, speed, safety, STP, storm
  • ISP Accountability Report — HTML export with MTR hop table and outage log for support tickets
  • How-to-Fix context menus on every scan result
  • Hidden SSID and co-channel WiFi interference detection
  • Live ping + DNS latency correlation
  • On-demand diagnostics: speed test, DNS leak, traceroute, public IP
  • Long-term background connectivity logger with stability scoring
  • TCP port scanner, OS fingerprinter, CVE lookup, MTR, and more
