for anyone who wants a walkthrough of a single task instead of the full manual. They cover
packet loss, latency, speed limits, aiming at a single app and testing with no internet, each
with the numbers worth trying and the command that does it.

- **The website's front page now shows the command it was talking about.** It said one command is
enough to check that a service survives 10 percent packet loss, and then did not print one,
which every other page on the site does. It now shows the command, says that the run stops
itself when the time is up, and points at the rehearsal switch that changes no real traffic.

- **The website's download page describes the release as it is.** It mentions the installer
next to the zip and lists every file a release carries. The command it gave for checking a
download failed for everyone. It is now the same command as in the README, which is run
against every published release.

- **The website no longer says the program is unsigned.** It has been signed since 0.5.0. The
download and questions pages now say so, and explain that Windows can still warn for a while
because the certificate is new.

Qualify the five-file release count. The referenced README says release candidates do not include an MSI, so the unqualified count is incorrect for them.

  • site/pages/download/en.html#L27-L28: say that a full release publishes five files and a release candidate omits the MSI.
  • site/pages/download/pl.html#L29-L30: state the same distinction in Polish.
    As per path instructions, website content must match download names across languages.

<h2>Checking that you got what we built</h2>
<p>The checksum answers "did this arrive unchanged". In PowerShell, compare the output with the
line in <code>SHA256SUMS.txt</code>:</p>
line in <code>SHA256SUMS.txt</code> (for the installer, put <code>.msi</code> in place of
<code>.zip</code>):</p>
<pre><code>Get-FileHash .\BeanNetworkTester-*.zip -Algorithm SHA256</code></pre>
<p>The signature answers a different question - "did this come out of that repository" - and needs
the GitHub command-line tool:</p>
<pre><code>gh attestation verify .\BeanNetworkTester-*.zip --repo donislawdev/BeanNetworkTester</code></pre>
<pre><code>gh attestation verify BeanNetworkTester-vX.Y.Z-windows-x64.zip --repo donislawdev/BeanNetworkTester --predicate-type https://spdx.dev/Document/v2.3</code></pre>
<p>Type the name of the zip you downloaded as the first part - <code>gh</code> does not accept a
<code>*</code> there. Keep <code>--predicate-type</code>: without it <code>gh</code> looks for a
different kind of statement and reports that it found none.</p>
<p>A checksum you copy from the same page as the download proves less than a signature. Both are
published, so both are worth a moment.</p>

<h2>Windows may warn you</h2>
<p>The executable is not signed with a paid certificate, so SmartScreen flags it as something it
has not seen before. That is a statement about the certificate, not about the file - which is
exactly why the checksum and the signature are published. The
<a href="../faq/">questions page</a> covers this and what the driver needs.</p>
<p>The program and the installer are signed, so Windows names who signed them instead of saying
"Unknown publisher". The certificate is new, so SmartScreen may still warn for a while - it has
not seen it often yet. That is about the certificate, not about the file, and the two checks
above let you verify the file yourself. The <a href="../faq/">questions page</a> covers this and
what the driver needs.</p>

<p>Because the executable is new and unsigned, and SmartScreen flags anything it has not seen
before. A code-signing certificate is a yearly cost, not a statement about the file. Every release

produced them, so you can verify what you downloaded instead of trusting a green tick.</p>
<p>The program is signed, so the warning names who signed it instead of saying "Unknown

rights and loads a network driver. Every release publishes a SHA-256 checksum and a signed list of
its components, so you can verify what you downloaded instead of trusting a green tick.</p>
