When --parallel is set:
- DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 is injected into the subprocess environment to
ensure BuildKit is active regardless of host daemon config
- docker compose build runs first (all images built concurrently)
- docker compose up -d follows without --build (no redundant checks)
Without --parallel the original up --build path is preserved.
--parallel and --no-cache compose correctly (build --no-cache).
The BASE_IMAGE build arg was being unconditionally overwritten by
composer.py with the decky's distro build_base (debian:bookworm-slim),
turning the conpot container into a bare Debian image with no conpot
installation — hence the silent restart loop.
Two fixes:
1. composer.py: use args.setdefault() so services that pre-declare
BASE_IMAGE in their compose_fragment() win over the distro default.
2. conpot.py: pre-declare BASE_IMAGE=honeynet/conpot:latest in build
args so it always uses the upstream image regardless of decky distro.
Also removed the USER decnet switch from the conpot Dockerfile. The
upstream image already runs as the non-root 'conpot' user; switching to
'decnet' broke pkg_resources because conpot's eggs live under
/home/conpot/.local and are only on sys.path for that user.
Windows: both 0 (no ICMP rate limiting — matches real Windows behavior)
Linux: 1000ms / mask 6168 (kernel defaults)
BSD: 250ms / mask 6168 (FreeBSD default is faster than Linux)
Embedded/Cisco: both 0 (most firmware doesn't rate-limit ICMP)
These affect nmap's IE and U1 probe groups which measure ICMP error
response timing to closed UDP ports. Windows responds to all probes
instantly while Linux throttles to ~1/sec.
Tests: 10 new cases (5 per sysctl). Suite: 822 passed.
ip_no_pmtu_disc controls PMTU discovery for UDP/ICMP paths only.
TI=Z originates from ip_select_ident() in the kernel TCP stack setting
IP ID=0 for DF=1 TCP packets — a namespace-scoped sysctl cannot change this.
The previous commit was based on incorrect root-cause analysis.
When ip_no_pmtu_disc=0 the Linux kernel sets DF=1 on TCP packets and uses
IP ID=0 (RFC 6864). nmap's TI=Z fingerprint has no Windows match in its DB,
causing 91% confidence guesses of 'Linux 2.4/2.6 embedded' regardless of
TTL being 128. Setting ip_no_pmtu_disc=1 allows non-zero IP ID generation.
Trade-off: DF bit is not set on outgoing packets (slightly wrong for Windows)
but TI=Z is far more damaging to the spoof than losing DF accuracy.
Add tcp_timestamps, tcp_window_scaling, tcp_sack, tcp_ecn, ip_no_pmtu_disc,
and tcp_fin_timeout to every OS profile in OS_SYSCTLS.
All 6 are network-namespace-scoped and safe to set per-container without
--privileged. They directly influence nmap's OPS, WIN, ECN, and T2-T6
probe groups, making OS family detection significantly more convincing.
Key changes:
- tcp_timestamps=0 for windows/embedded/cisco (strongest Windows discriminator)
- tcp_ecn=2 for linux (ECN offer), 0 for all others
- tcp_sack=0 / tcp_window_scaling=0 for embedded/cisco
- ip_no_pmtu_disc=1 for embedded/cisco (DF bit ICMP behaviour)
- Expose _REQUIRED_SYSCTLS frozenset for completeness assertions
Tests: 88 new test cases across all OS families and composer integration.
Total suite: 812 passed.
- decnet/services/smtp_relay.py: open relay variant of smtp, same template
with SMTP_OPEN_RELAY=1 baked into the environment
- tests/service_testing/__init__.py: init so pytest discovers the subdirectory
Services now print RFC 5424 to stdout; Docker captures via json-file driver.
A new host-side collector (decnet.web.collector) streams docker logs from all
running decky service containers and writes RFC 5424 + parsed JSON to the host
log file. The existing ingester continues to tail the .json file unchanged.
rsyslog can consume the .log file independently — no DECNET involvement needed.
Removes: bind-mount volume injection, _LOG_NETWORK bridge, log_target config
field and --log-target CLI flag, TCP syslog forwarding from service templates.
- decnet/env.py: DECNET_JWT_SECRET and DECNET_ADMIN_PASSWORD are now
required env vars; startup raises ValueError if unset or set to a
known-bad default ("admin", "password", etc.)
- decnet/env.py: add DECNET_CORS_ORIGINS (comma-separated, defaults to
http://localhost:8080) replacing the previous allow_origins=["*"]
- decnet/web/api.py: use DECNET_CORS_ORIGINS and tighten allow_methods
and allow_headers to explicit lists
- tests/conftest.py: set required env vars at module level so test
collection works without real credentials
- tests/test_web_api.py, test_web_api_fuzz.py: use DECNET_ADMIN_PASSWORD
from env instead of hardcoded "admin"
