Compass Security hat in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fachhochschule Rapperswil (HSR) durch die Diplomanden Rene Herrmann und Christian Bernet eine Test-Suite für DNS Tunneling entwickelt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Windows Client Programm, welches mit einem Compass DNS Server via DNS Pakete in Verbindung treten will. Gelingt dies, kann der DNS Tunnel Test gestartet werden. Andernfalls wird eine Info Box angezeigt, dass das Netzwerk gegenüber DNS Tunneling geschuetzt ist.
