add_bounty dedups on (attacker_ip, bounty_type, full payload JSON).
Three fingerprint-family bounties (http_useragent, ip_leak,
http_quirks) were including method/path / header_count in their
payloads — fields that vary per request — so a scanner hitting 100
paths produced 100 rows instead of 1, which is what was swelling
AttackerDetail.
Payloads now carry identity-only fields:
- http_useragent: {fingerprint_type, value}. UA + path combinations
no longer collide; one row per distinct User-Agent string.
- ip_leak: {source_ip, real_ip_claim, source_header, headers_seen}.
One row per distinct (proxy source, leaked IP, leaking header)
triple; repeat hits with the same header on different paths dedup.
- http_quirks: {fingerprint_type, order_hash, order, casing_hash,
casing_category, stable_count, tool_guess}. No more header_count
(included volatile headers; Cookie-presence variance broke dedup).
Per-request context (path, method, etc.) was never load-bearing for
analysts — the logs table already answers "when + where" at
per-event resolution. The bounty table is for stable identity.
UI:
- FpHttpQuirks renderer drops the method/path footer line and the
header_count/duplicates tags; shows stable_count instead.
- LEAKED-IPs tooltip on AttackerDetail swaps "X on GET /path" for
"Leaked via X; source 203.0.113.42" — same information, stable.
Tests add a "payload stable across paths and methods" assertion on
http_quirks — locks the contract so a future regression that sneaks
a per-request field back in fails loudly.
Existing duplicate bounty rows don't retroactively collapse.
Dev: `decnet db-reset --i-know-what-im-doing drop-tables` and
restart. Prod: one SQL pass to dedup by (attacker_ip, bounty_type,
payload) — trivial but not automated.
Per-request HTTP fingerprint derived from the header dict we already
log. Captures:
- order_hash: SHA-256 prefix (16 hex) over the lowercased header-name
sequence, minus volatile/per-request headers (Content-Length,
Cookie, Authorization, XFF family, trace IDs). Stable identity for
a given client stack regardless of which target / path is hit.
- casing_hash: same shape but over the per-header casing category
(Title-Case / lower / UPPER / mixed). Attackers frequently spoof
User-Agent but forget their stack sends `user-agent` while browsers
send `User-Agent`.
- tool_guess: prefix match against curl / python-requests /
Go-http-client / nmap-nse signatures. Cheap, best-effort — the
hash is the hard signal.
- duplicates: reserved for when the HTTP template switches from
dict(request.headers) to a list form; today it always fires empty
because dict() collapses duplicates.
Payload is a fingerprint bounty (bounty_type="fingerprint",
fingerprint_type="http_quirks"). Bounty dedup collapses identical
hashes per attacker — one row per distinct fingerprint — so a chatty
scanner doesn't spam the vault, but a tool-chain change from the
same IP surfaces as a new row.
UI renderer (FpHttpQuirks) shows the two hashes, tool guess badge in
violet, casing/count tags, and a collapsible header-order list.
Added to the passiveTypes group so it nests with JA3/JA4L/etc. in
the AttackerDetail fingerprints panel.
One library note: the naive "title-case" classifier failed on tokens
like `X-Forwarded-For` because Python's "".islower() returns False
so `p[1:].islower()` rejects single-letter tokens like the `X`.
Fix: explicitly accept single-char tokens when uppercase.
Attackers routinely front their scanners with VPNs/proxies, so the
TCP source we log is the proxy egress, not the real host. But a
surprising number of attacker setups are misconfigured: the proxy
forwards the real IP in an X-Forwarded-For (or Forwarded / X-Real-IP
/ CDN-variant) header. From our side that's a free attribution leak.
New _detect_ip_leak extractor in decnet/web/ingester.py fires at
ingest time per HTTP request. Logic:
1. Require service=http, source_ip present, headers present.
2. If source_ip ∈ DECNET_TRUSTED_PROXIES (comma-separated IPs or
CIDRs) → legitimate reverse-proxy forwarding, skip.
3. Walk proxy-family headers in priority order: Forwarded (RFC 7239)
→ X-Forwarded-For → X-Real-IP → True-Client-IP → CF-Connecting-IP.
4. Extract the left-most parseable IP from the winning header.
5. If that IP differs from the TCP source → emit a bounty with
bounty_type="ip_leak" carrying {source_ip, real_ip_claim,
source_header, headers_seen, path, method}.
Storage is the existing Bounty table — no schema change; de-dup is
handled by Bounty's (attacker_ip, bounty_type, payload_hash) key, so
repeat requests with the same leaked IP don't spam.
AttackerDetail renders a warn-accent "LEAKED IPs:" row under ORIGIN
listing distinct real_ip_claim values; hover tooltip shows the source
header + path of the most recent leak. Only shown when at least one
ip_leak bounty exists.
RFC 7239 Forwarded parser handles the full vocabulary — bare IPv4,
IPv4:port, quoted, IPv6 in brackets, IPv6 with port — returning only
IPs that actually parse.
Closes DEVELOPMENT.md "Network Topology Leakage → X-Forwarded-For
mismatches". Phase 3 of the three-phase Attacker Intelligence series
(phases 1: scanned-vs-interacted, 2: PTR records already shipped).
DECNET_TRUSTED_PROXIES env shape matches THREAT_MODEL DA-08's
"revisit when verified-proxy config lands" note — same token set
future rate-limit work will consume.
Ingester connects the bus at startup, emits a batch-committed summary
(component/flushed/position) after each successful _flush_batch. Zero-
row flushes are suppressed so the topic stays meaningful.
Complements the collector's per-line system.log publishes: collector
signals ingress, ingester signals DB-persisted progress. Federation
forwarder (worker 8) will subscribe to the batch-committed leaf to
trigger its upstream push.
Bus stays optional: publish_safely swallows failures, get_bus() can
return None, DECNET_BUS_ENABLED=false leaves the ingestion loop fully
functional.
The ingester now accumulates up to DECNET_BATCH_SIZE rows (default 100)
or DECNET_BATCH_MAX_WAIT_MS (default 250ms) before flushing through
repo.add_logs — one transaction, one COMMIT per batch instead of per
row. Under attacker traffic this collapses N commits into ⌈N/100⌉ and
takes most of the SQLite writer-lock contention off the hot path.
Flush semantics are cancel-safe: _position only advances after a batch
commits successfully, and the flush helper bails without touching the
DB if the enclosing task is being cancelled (lifespan teardown).
Un-flushed lines stay in the file and are re-read on next startup.
Tests updated to assert on add_logs (bulk) instead of the per-row
add_log that the ingester no longer uses, plus a new test that 250
lines flush in ≤5 calls.
Extends tracing to every remaining module: all 23 API route handlers,
correlation engine, sniffer (fingerprint/p0f/syslog), prober (jarm/hassh/tcpfp),
profiler behavioral analysis, logging subsystem, engine, and mutator.
Bridges the ingester→SSE trace gap by persisting trace_id/span_id columns on
the logs table and creating OTEL span links in the SSE endpoint. Adds log-trace
correlation via _TraceContextFilter injecting otel_trace_id into Python LogRecords.
Includes development/docs/TRACING.md with full span reference (76 spans),
pipeline propagation architecture, quick start guide, and troubleshooting.
Collector now creates a span per event and injects W3C trace context
into JSON records. Ingester extracts that context and creates child
spans, connecting the full event journey: collector -> ingester ->
db.add_log + extract_bounty -> db.add_bounty.
Profiler now creates per-IP spans inside update_profiles with rich
attributes (event_count, is_traversal, bounty_count, command_count).
Traces in Jaeger now show the complete execution map from capture
through ingestion and profiling.
Gated by DECNET_DEVELOPER_TRACING env var (default off, zero overhead).
When enabled, traces flow through FastAPI routes, background workers
(collector, ingester, profiler, sniffer, prober), engine/mutator
operations, and all DB calls via TracedRepository proxy.
Includes Jaeger docker-compose for local dev and 18 unit tests.
templates/decnet_logging.py calls str(v) on all SD-PARAM values, turning a
headers dict into Python repr ('{'User-Agent': ...}') rather than JSON.
detect_tools_from_headers() called json.loads() on that string and silently
swallowed the error, returning [] for every HTTP event. Same bug prevented
the ingester from extracting User-Agent bounty fingerprints.
- templates/http/server.py: wrap headers dict in json.dumps() before passing
to syslog_line so the value is a valid JSON string in the syslog record
- behavioral.py: add ast.literal_eval fallback for existing DB rows that were
stored with the old Python repr format
- ingester.py: parse headers as JSON string in _extract_bounty so User-Agent
fingerprints are stored correctly going forward
- tests: add test_json_string_headers and test_python_repr_headers_fallback
to exercise both formats in detect_tools_from_headers
- Ingester now loads byte-offset from DB on startup (key: ingest_worker_position)
and saves it after each batch — prevents full re-read on every API restart
- On file truncation/rotation the saved offset is reset to 0
- Profiler worker now loads last_log_id from DB on startup — every restart
becomes an incremental update instead of a full cold rebuild
- Updated all affected tests to mock get_state/set_state; added new tests
covering position restore, set_state call, truncation reset, and cursor
restore/cold-start paths
Extends the prober with two new active probe types alongside JARM:
- HASSHServer: SSH server fingerprinting via KEX_INIT algorithm ordering
(MD5 hash of kex;enc_s2c;mac_s2c;comp_s2c, pure stdlib)
- TCP/IP stack: OS/tool fingerprinting via SYN-ACK analysis using scapy
(TTL, window size, DF bit, MSS, TCP options ordering, SHA256 hash)
Worker probe cycle now runs three phases per IP with independent
per-type port tracking. Ingester extracts bounties for all three
fingerprint types.
- Modify Rfc5424Formatter to read decnet_component from LogRecord
and use it as RFC 5424 APP-NAME field (falls back to 'decnet')
- Add get_logger(component) factory in decnet/logging/__init__.py
with _ComponentFilter that injects decnet_component on each record
- Wire all five layers to their component tag:
cli -> 'cli', engine -> 'engine', api -> 'api' (api.py, ingester,
routers), mutator -> 'mutator', collector -> 'collector'
- Add structured INFO/DEBUG/WARNING/ERROR log calls throughout each
layer per the defined vocabulary; DEBUG calls are suppressed unless
DECNET_DEVELOPER=true
- Add tests/test_logging.py covering factory, filter, formatter
component-awareness, fallback behaviour, and level gating
