DEBT-035 step 1. The composer needs to know which uid/gid to inject
into each compose fragment's `user:` directive at deploy time. Today
the resolved `--user` / `--group` values reach systemd unit
rendering (init.py:349–354) but are not persisted anywhere the
composer can read them.
Persist as **names** (not numeric ids) under `[decnet] api-user` /
`api-group` in the rendered decnet.ini placeholder. Resolution to
uid/gid happens at deploy time on whichever host runs the deploy,
via `pwd.getpwnam(...)` / `grp.getgrnam(...)` — so the same user
name can have different uids on master vs agents (heterogeneous
/etc/passwd) without breaking artifact ownership. The existing
config_ini auto-translates kebab→DECNET_API_USER / DECNET_API_GROUP
at load time; no domain-map changes needed.
Two new tests: one asserting the rendered ini carries the
`api-user` / `api-group` keys for the values passed to `--user` /
`--group`; one round-tripping through `load_ini_config` to confirm
the env vars land in `os.environ` for the composer to pick up.
A previous agent (and several of my own commits) wrote to a top-level
DEBT.md without seeing the existing development/DEBT.md — the
canonical register since DEBT-001. Resulted in two parallel files,
inconsistent numbering schemes, and references that resolved to the
wrong place.
Migrate the six entries that landed in the rogue file into the
canonical register as DEBT-044 through DEBT-049, preserving their
status (resolved / partial / open) and cross-references. The
TTP_TAGGING.md references to "DEBT.md" already resolve to
development/DEBT.md by virtue of being in the same directory; only
the comment in decnet/ttp/impl/intel_lifter.py needed disambiguation
to "development/DEBT.md DEBT-048".
* DEBT-044 — `attacker.email.received` producer wiring (✅ RESOLVED 2026-05-02)
* DEBT-045 — EmailLifter heavyweight feature extraction (PARTIAL PAID 2026-05-02)
* DEBT-046 — EmailLifter mal-hash feed integration (open)
* DEBT-047 — EmailLifter R0047 BEC unblock (open, gated on DEBT-035)
* DEBT-048 — TTP intel provider mapping review (recurring quarterly)
* DEBT-049 — TTP Sigma adapter — post-v1 (open)
Summary table extended; "Remaining open" line updated; root file
removed. The DEBT-047 entry now explicitly cross-references DEBT-035
as the gating dependency for the R0047 BEC unblock.
The decky's Layer-2 extension (commit 291b78c1) emits body_simhash /
body_base64_bytes / html_smuggling on the message_stored log and adds
macro_indicator / encrypted booleans to each attachments_json
manifest entry. Lift them all onto the email.received bus payload:
* body_simhash — passes through as-is (16 hex chars or "")
* body_base64_bytes — coerced to int (0 on absent / malformed)
* attachment_macros / attachment_password_protected — OR-reduced
across the per-attachment manifest booleans; matches R0046's
matched_trigger semantics where a single positive lane fires the
rule
* html_smuggling — coerced bool from the decky's 0/1 int
Pre-Layer-2 message_stored events (older deckies, malformed log
rows) project to safe defaults: empty simhash, zero base64-bytes,
all booleans False — the EmailLifter then stays silent, never
fires a false positive on missing data.
R0042 (mass-phish) / R0046 macro / R0046 password / R0046 smuggling
/ R0048 (encoded payload) all fire end-to-end after this commit.
R0046 mal_hash_match and R0047 BEC remain deferred per their
respective DEBT entries (filed in the next commit).
Heavyweight Layer-2 extractors land alongside the cheap projections
shipped in commit e9324aca, so the EmailLifter R0042 / R0046 (macros
/ password / smuggling lanes) / R0048 fire from the bus payload
without the lifter having to reach back to disk.
Extractors:
* body_simhash — inlined 64-bit Charikar simhash (md5-keyed,
frequency-weighted) over word tokens of the union of text/* body
parts. Inlined rather than pulling the `simhash` PyPI dep, which
transitively brings numpy ~50 MB into a slim decky container; the
algorithm is ~15 lines and identical in extraction quality.
* body_base64_bytes — largest decoded base64 chunk's byte count,
scanning text body parts with the same `_BASE64_RE` the lifter's
`_p_encoded_payload` fallback uses. R0048 fires from this scalar
alone; the lifter's body_text fallback becomes dead in normal
operation.
* attachment_macro_indicator — stdlib zipfile sniff for
`vbaProject.bin` inside OOXML containers. Catches modern .docm /
.xlsm / .pptm and macro-injected .docx; legacy .xls (CFBF) is a
follow-up.
* attachment_encrypted — flag_bits & 0x01 on any ZIP / OOXML entry's
central directory; magic-byte match for 7z / RAR / CFBF (encrypted
Office wrap).
* html_smuggling — structural lxml parse first: fires when an `<a
download>` element coexists with a `<script>` referencing
`Blob` / `Uint8Array` / `URL.createObjectURL`. Regex pair-check
fallback on lxml parse failure (real-world phish HTML is often
malformed). Cuts the FP rate that pure-regex would produce on
legitimate "click to download" links.
Add `python3-lxml` (~5 MB Debian package, C-extension, no transitive
Python deps) to the SMTP decky's Dockerfile. simhash stays inline.
Per the dependency rule: lxml earns its weight by cutting R0046's
OR-combined FP rate; a heavier macro-detection lib (oletools ~5 MB
pure-python with msoffcrypto) would not measurably improve the
boolean signal we need, so stdlib stays for that lane.
Wires the EmailLifter (R0041–R0048) producer that DEBT.md item #3
deferred. After the existing add_bounty() call in _extract_bounty
(line 615), call _publish_email_received() which:
* resolves the attacker_uuid via repo.get_attacker_uuid_by_ip; drops
the publish if unresolved (the TTP worker can't anchor orphan
events)
* projects the message_stored fields onto the EmailLifter wire
contract: from_domain / mail_from_domain / return_path_domain
parsed via _domain_of, rcpt_count + rcpt_domains via
_rcpt_projection, attachment_sha256s + attachment_extensions
derived from the existing attachments_json manifest, urls from
urls_json, dkim_signed/spf_pass coerced from 0/1 ints to bool
* mirrors _publish_probe_pending's bus-per-call pattern and
swallows all exceptions (the bus is the notification layer, not
the source of truth)
Fires for both relay and non-relay SMTP services. R0041 / R0043 /
R0044 / R0045 are now live end-to-end; R0046 partial (extension
lane). Heavyweight predicates (R0042 simhash, R0046-deep, R0047 /
R0048 body_text) stay deferred per the EmailLifter heavyweight
DEBT entry.
The EmailLifter (R0041–R0048) keys on header-derived signals that the
v0 _summarize_message did not extract. Add cheap Layer 2 projections
inside the existing single-pass parse:
* return_path / x_mailer — direct header reads, decoded RFC 2047
* dkim_signed / spf_pass — booleans derived from any
Authentication-Results header (multiple lines tolerated; positive
verdict on any line wins)
* urls — http(s) URLs lifted from text/* body parts via a tight
regex, deduplicated first-seen-wins, capped at 64 in the wire
payload to bound the syslog SD value
Heavyweight extraction (body simhash, office-macro detection,
HTML-smuggling, password-protected archives, mal-hash-match,
body_text projection) stays deferred per the EmailLifter heavyweight
DEBT entry — those rules need privacy / extractor decisions before
they ship.
Three bug classes uncovered by the 2026-05-02 ship-time audit:
* AbuseIPDB code/name mismatch in v1: cat 10 was treated as DDoS (it's
Web Spam — DDoS is cat 4, intentionally unmapped per A.10) and cat 17
as VPN IP (it's Spoofing — VPN IP is cat 13). Both typos mirrored in
code AND the design doc Appendix A.10. Code now matches the AbuseIPDB
taxonomy exactly; cat 17 retargets to T1566 (email-spoofing as a
phishing precursor), and cats 7 (Phishing) and 16 (SQL Injection)
pick up T1566 / T1190 emissions that v1 didn't cover.
* ThreatFox dispatch keyed on `ioc_type` in v1, but `ioc_type` is the
indicator format (url / domain / hash variants) and carries no ATT&CK
signal. The canonical taxonomy field per ThreatFox's API is
`threat_type` (botnet_cc / payload_delivery / payload / cc_skimming).
Repoint dispatch through the new `threatfox_threat_types` payload
field; `ioc_type` rides as evidence only. Also adds the missing
cc_skimming -> T1056 (Input Capture) mapping and registers T1056 in
attack_catalog.py.
* GreyNoise bare-malicious lane: a `classification == "malicious"` row
with no recognised tag used to emit nothing. Now lights T1071 at a
half multiplier, suppressed when a tag already fires T1071 to avoid
double-stamping at conflicting confidence levels.
The TTP worker forwards the bus payload verbatim to the IntelLifter as
TaggerEvent.payload. The pre-audit publish payload only carried
{attacker_uuid, attacker_ip, aggregate_verdict, providers}, so even with
the new AttackerIntel taxonomy columns populated the lifter still saw
nothing. Lift the relevant fields (categories / tags / threat_types /
malware family / score / classification) into the bus event and decode
JSON-string list columns back to native lists at the boundary.
The 2026-05-02 ship-time audit of the R0054-R0058 intel rule pack found
that AbuseIPDB / GreyNoise / ThreatFox stored only the aggregate verdict
(score / classification / listed-bool) plus the raw response blob. The
TTP IntelLifter expects per-provider taxonomy fields (categories, tags,
threat_types) that were never populated, so R0054 / R0055 / R0057
emitted zero tags in production despite passing unit tests.
Add typed columns: abuseipdb_categories, greynoise_tags, greynoise_name,
feodo_malware_family, threatfox_threat_types, threatfox_ioc_types,
threatfox_malware_families. Each provider now parses the relevant
taxonomy out of the upstream response and writes it through
column_updates. JSON-list columns ride as TEXT with default "[]" to
keep the SQLite/MySQL backend split honest, deserialised back to native
lists by the repo on read.
The inspector was dumping the whole `CMD uid=0 user=root src=… pwd=…
cmd=nmap -p- 192.168.1.0/24` syslog body into a single ``command_text``
blob. ANTI: "I'd like to separate the fields." Done — three layers
work together:
1. Collector session aggregator: new `_parse_cmd_msg` splits the bash
PROMPT_COMMAND msg into `{uid, user, src, pwd, command}`. The
session-ended envelope's per-command dict now carries the
structured fields, with `command_text` set to just the cmd= value
(preserving embedded whitespace — `nmap -p- 1.2.3.0/24` etc.).
2. Rule engine: per-source_kind auxiliary evidence list
(`_AUX_EVIDENCE_FIELDS`). For `command` events the engine
automatically promotes uid/user/src/pwd into the persisted
`evidence` dict on top of the rule's explicit `evidence_fields`.
Engine-controlled, not per-rule — adding a new aux field is one
line here, not a 30-rule YAML sweep, and rule authors can't
accidentally drop it.
3. TTPInspector frontend: evidence renders as a structured
`kvs` grid (UID / USER / SRC / PWD / CMD rows) instead of
pretty-printed JSON. Primary-order list keeps shell fields at
the top; everything else falls below alphabetically so unfamiliar
evidence shapes still surface predictably.
Tests:
- session_aggregator pins the structured-fields emit (uid/user/src/
pwd/command_text without "CMD" prefix, embedded whitespace
preserved).
- rule_engine_tagger pins the aux-field auto-promotion + the
no-`None`-leakage path when payload doesn't carry an aux key.
"T1595" alone is opaque; "T1595 — Active Scanning" tells you the
story at a glance. The names come from a backend-side static catalogue
pinned to the same ATT&CK release as the rule engine
(_ATTACK_RELEASE = "v15.1") — names are the canonical MITRE labels,
not author-supplied strings on rules, so a rule author can't typo a
name and the entire fleet sees the typo.
- New `decnet/ttp/attack_catalog.py` with `TECHNIQUE_NAMES` covering
every technique_id + sub_technique_id emitted by `rules/ttp/`
(R0001..R0058 → 69 IDs in the v0 pack).
- `IdentityTechniqueRow` / `TechniqueRollupRow` / `CampaignTechniqueRow`
/ `TTPTagDetailRow` gain optional `technique_name` /
`sub_technique_name` fields. Repo + router populate them from the
catalogue at row-construction time. None when an ID isn't in the
catalogue — UI falls back to the bare ID.
- Coverage test (`tests/ttp/test_attack_catalog.py`) walks every
YAML rule and asserts every emitted ID has a catalogue entry, so
a future rule author who forgets to update the catalogue gets a
loud failure rather than a silent UI fallback.
Frontend:
- `TTPsObservedSection` shows "T1595.002 — Active Scanning:
Vulnerability Scanning" instead of just the ID, with overflow
ellipsis + tooltip for narrow viewports. Inspector header /
TECHNIQUE row also surface the names.
The TTPsObservedSection rollup tells the operator "we saw T1059" but
not why. Click any technique row → side drawer opens listing every
ttp_tag row in scope with the persisted evidence JSON, firing
rule_id / rule_version, source_kind / source_id, confidence, and
created_at. Mirrors the CredentialReuseInspector / BountyInspector
pattern (drawer-backdrop + bd-head/bd-body + kvs grid).
Backend:
- New `GET /api/v1/ttp/tags/by-{scope}/{uuid}/{technique_id}`
(`scope ∈ {identity, attacker, session}`, optional
`?sub_technique_id=`, `?limit=` capped to 1000). Returns raw
TTPTag rows newest-first.
- New `TTPTagDetailRow` Pydantic model + re-export.
- New repo method `list_tags_by_scope_and_technique` on
TTPMixin (+ abstract on BaseRepository) — single query branched
on scope; identity scope projects through `Attacker.identity_id`
the same way `list_techniques_by_identity` does.
- Tests: evidence round-trips, sub_technique filter, JWT-required,
empty scope, unknown scope rejected.
Frontend:
- New `TTPInspector.tsx` + `TTPInspector.css` (violet accent, slide
animation, focus-trapped panel matching the existing inspector
family).
- `TTPsObservedSection`'s TechniqueBar is now click+keyboard
activatable; clicking opens the inspector for that
(technique, sub_technique) tuple.
mypy clean. 532 passed in the targeted sweep.
The collector's `attacker.session.ended` envelope carries
`attacker_uuid: null` and `attacker_ip: <ip>` because the collector
doesn't talk to the DB. The TTP worker passed that null straight
through, and `TTPTag.__init__` raised the documented invariant:
ValueError: ttp_tag requires at least one of attacker_uuid /
identity_uuid; both NULL is not a valid anchor.
The worker now resolves `attacker_uuid` from `attacker_ip` via
`BaseRepository.get_attacker_uuid_by_ip` before fanning out the
event. When the IP isn't in the DB yet (profiler hasn't ingested
the row), the event is dropped with one log line — better than
exploding mid-tag.
- New `get_attacker_uuid_by_ip(ip) -> str | None` on the repo
(BaseRepository abstract + AttackersCoreMixin impl).
- `_resolve_attacker_uuid` helper in `decnet/ttp/worker.py` runs
before `_build_events`. Short-circuits when the payload already
has either anchor; drops the event when neither anchor is
resolvable.
- Tests pin: short-circuit on existing uuid/identity, repo lookup,
drop on unknown IP, drop on "Unknown" sentinel, drop on
no-anchor payload, drop on repo failure.
The TTP worker subscribes to attacker.session.ended but no upstream
component published it — the rule pack (R0001–R0030) therefore never
fired on live SSH traffic even after the consume-side wiring landed
in E.3.18a/b/c.
The collector now hosts a per-attacker_ip command index
(_SessionAggregator) that watches the same parsed-event stream as
_publish_log. Shell `command` events are appended to a per-IP list;
on `session_recorded` the aggregator slices the list to commands
inside the [ended_at - duration_s, ended_at] window and publishes
attacker.session.ended with the session metadata + commands list.
The TTP worker's _build_events fan-out (E.3.18b) turns each command
into a source_kind="command" TaggerEvent that the RuleEngineTagger
(E.3.18c) matches against R0001–R0030.
Memory bound: per-IP entries TTL-evict at DECNET_COLLECTOR_SESSION_AGG_TTL_SEC
(default 3600 s). Publish failures are swallowed in the aggregator —
a misbehaving bus cannot stall the per-container stream threads.
Honeypot SSH containers run `PROMPT_COMMAND` that calls
`logger --rfc5424 --msgid command -t bash "CMD …"`. The Docker-stdout
reader prepends an outer RFC5424 envelope (HOSTNAME=<decky>,
APP-NAME=1, MSGID=NIL) around that inner syslog line. Both the
collector parser (`parse_rfc5424`) and the correlation parser
(`parse_line`) saw the outer NIL MSGID and emitted `event_type="-"`
for every shell command — which:
- kept `Attacker.commands` rows missing `command_text`
- left R0001–R0030 (the pattern rule pack that matches shell
commands) with no haystack
- made `decnet.collector.log` show `event written … type=-`
for the very lines that should be `type=command`
Both parsers now detect the inner-RFC5424 shape (`<TS> <HOST> <APP>
<PROCID> <MSGID> <rest>`) when the outer MSGID is NIL and the SD-arm
is also NIL, and re-extract HOSTNAME / APP-NAME / MSGID / remainder
from the body. The collector parser also recovers the post-SD msg
tail when the SD block isn't `relay@55555` (the bash CMD line carries
a `[timeQuality …]` block) so the kv-fallback can find `src_ip`.
Mirroring tests in tests/collector and tests/correlation pin both
the unwrap and the regression guard for non-double-wrapped lines.
The endpoint was a contract-phase stub returning `[]` even though the
RuleStore loaded all 58 YAML rules at worker startup. UI saw an empty
table; operators couldn't tell whether anything was wired up.
- `api_list_rules` now calls `get_rule_store().load_compiled()` and
serializes each CompiledRule + its operational state into a
RuleCatalogueRow. Sorted by rule_id for stable golden snapshots.
- Add `description: str` to RuleSchema (pydantic) and CompiledRule
(NamedTuple, defaulted) + propagate through `_compile_one` so the
catalogue surfaces the human-readable YAML description, not just
the slug-style `name`.
- Update `tests/ttp/test_rule_engine.py` _fields assertion for the
new column; new `tests/api/ttp/test_rules_catalogue.py` pins the
catalogue contents (R0001/R0014 presence, row shape, sort order).
Worker behaviour is unchanged: it was already loading rules
correctly. This is purely a read-side wiring fix on the operator API.
The TTP worker entry moved out of decnet/cli/workers.py into its own
module so the TTP CLI surface (worker + admin verbs) is colocated,
mirroring decnet/cli/canary.py / webhook.py / swarm.py.
- New `decnet/cli/ttp.py` with `decnet ttp` (worker, ExecStart-stable
for decnet-ttp.service) and `decnet ttp-backfill --since-days N`.
- `decnet ttp-backfill` walks Attacker.commands and CanaryTrigger
history, dispatches each row through the live CompositeTagger,
persists tags via repo.insert_tags (idempotent INSERT OR IGNORE).
--dry-run / --source command|canary|all / --batch-size supported.
- Backfill deliberately bypasses bus publish — historical replay
must not re-trigger SIEM/webhook fan-out per TTP_TAGGING.md
§"Bus topics" loop-prevention invariant.
- Added `iter_attacker_commands_since` / `iter_canary_triggers_since`
read-only iterators on TTPMixin + abstract bindings on
BaseRepository.
- Master-only via gating; both `ttp` and `ttp-backfill` listed in
MASTER_ONLY_COMMANDS.
The canonical rule-based engine from §"Tagging engines, layered §1"
of TTP_TAGGING.md was fully implemented but never instantiated as a
composite child — pure pattern rules (R0014/R0017/R0023/... 23 rules
total) had no tagger to dispatch them.
- Add `RuleEngineTagger(Tagger)` adapter in rule_engine.py wrapping
`RuleEngine.evaluate()`. `HANDLES = {command, http_request,
auth_attempt, payload}` — the source kinds whose rules typically
live outside any per-source lifter.
- Adapter's `watch_store()` filters via `_is_engine_owned` so the
engine's dispatch index excludes lifter-claimed rules
(`match.kind: lifter:*`) and stays disjoint from per-lifter ownership.
- Prepend `RuleEngineTagger` to the `CompositeTagger` lifter list so
generic pattern rules dispatch before per-source cross-event logic.
- Composes with E.3.18a (worker hydrates `watch_store`) and E.3.18b
(worker fans session payloads into per-`command` events) — together
these three commits make R0001–R0030 actually fire at runtime.
R0001–R0030 declare `applies_to: [command]` and match per command, not
per session. The worker now translates one `attacker.session.ended`
payload carrying a `commands: list` into:
- one source_kind="session" event (behavioral / cross-event lifters)
- one source_kind="command" event per command (RuleEngineTagger)
Both string and dict command shapes are accepted; dicts contribute
their `id` / `uuid` / `command_id` as the per-command source_id so
the deterministic `compute_tag_uuid` keeps replays idempotent. Tags
from session + per-command dispatch are aggregated into a single
`ttp.tagged` envelope per upstream session.
Each per-source lifter holds its own RuleIndex and exposes an
`async watch_store()` that loads the corpus and drains store change
events forever. Until this commit nothing called `watch_store()` in
production — every dispatch index stayed empty and no rule fired.
- Add `WatchableTagger` runtime-checkable Protocol in `decnet.ttp.base`.
- `CompositeTagger.iter_watchables()` yields lifters that satisfy it.
- `run_ttp_worker_loop` fans out one task per watchable, cancelled
and awaited alongside pump/heartbeat/control in the existing finally.
- Watch failures log and exit the watch task without taking the
worker down — mirrors the pump-task tolerance contract.
Wires decnet-ttp as a first-class worker:
* `decnet ttp` CLI command (master-only via MASTER_ONLY_COMMANDS)
* deploy/decnet-ttp.service.j2 systemd unit (After= identity / intel
/ reuse-correlator workers; ProtectHome=read-only since
FilesystemRuleStore only reads ./rules/ttp/)
* deploy/decnet.target Wants= chain extended with decnet-ttp.service
* `ttp` was already in web/worker_registry.KNOWN_WORKERS
tests/api/test_schemathesis_ttp.py: TTP-routes-only schemathesis
suite, filtered via the OpenAPI tags=["TTP Tagging"] annotation
shared by the eight TTP routes. Reuses the live uvicorn subprocess
the wider test_schemathesis spawns; max_examples=400 keeps the
focused gate fast for E.3.13–E.3.16 iteration.
wiki-checkout/Service-Bus.md committed in its own repo: ttp.tagged
and ttp.rule.fired.<id> flipped from "reserved (TTP worker)" to
"decnet.ttp.worker" now that the worker publishes them.
Add BaseRepository.list_ttp_decky_phases(identity_uuid) returning
per-decky tag observations as (decky_id, tactic, created_at_ts) rows
ordered by creation time. Rewrite from_identity_row() to project
tactic → UKCPhase via tactic_to_ukc_phase and populate the four
phase-handoff maps (first/last_phase_per_decky,
first/last_seen_per_decky) so combined_campaign_weight finally lights
up on real DB rows — not just synthetic fixtures.
ConnectedComponentsCampaignClusterer.tick() pulls each active
identity's per-decky phase observations before projecting features.
Repo failures are non-fatal: a partial repo falls back to the empty
phase-handoff signal (legacy behavior) so the worker stays up.
tests/clustering/test_ttp_phase_handoff.py pins the production-row
pair clearing CAMPAIGN_EDGE_THRESHOLD on a C2 → DISCOVERY hand-off —
the trip-wire that says the whole project paid off.
commands_by_phase_on_decky itself stays empty on the production path:
it is consumed only by the synthetic-fixture similarity surface, and
the phase-handoff edge does not use it. Synthetic fixtures still
populate it directly via from_synthetic_identity.
Inner loop drains a per-process asyncio.Queue populated by one pump
task per topic in _TOPICS, dispatches each event through
CompositeTagger, persists via repo.insert_tags(), and publishes
ttp.tagged + per-technique ttp.rule.fired.<id> only when the insert
returned a non-zero rowcount.
CompositeTagger seeded with all six lifters (Behavioral, Intel,
CanaryFingerprint, Email, Identity, Credential).
Loop-prevention invariant from TTP_TAGGING.md §"Bus topics" enforced:
N replays of the same upstream event publish exactly one ttp.tagged
event. test_worker_bus covers both the direct invocation path and
the idempotency replay path.
Intel catch-up via attacker.session.ended is intentionally deferred
to E.3.14b — needs a session→intel join the repo doesn't expose yet.
IdentityLifter owns lifter:identity_* — currently R0003 (password
spraying). CredentialLifter owns lifter:credential_* — R0001 generic
auth brute, R0002 password guessing, R0004 credential reuse, R0005
valid-account use, R0006 default credentials.
YAMLs R0001/R0002/R0003/R0005/R0006 had their match.kind normalised
to fit the lifter prefix scheme — the design doc's promised "YAMLs
normalised in a separate refactor commit" lands here.
Identity-rollup tags null out attacker_uuid on emit so the worked-
example invariant holds (the tag belongs to the Identity, never to
one member IP).
Tests: test_identity_lifter.py + test_credential_lifter.py cover
each predicate's positive/negative path, state modulation
(disabled/clipped/expired), source-kind gating, and idempotent
replay. test_lifter_absence and test_lifters updated for the new
ctor signature.
SMTP message-level technique tagger per Appendix A.6: open relay abuse
(rcpt_count + foreign From), mass phishing (rcpt_count + body simhash),
phishing-kit X-Mailer, IDN/punycode URL, sender masquerade composite
(From/Return-Path/DKIM/SPF), malicious attachment (macro/.lnk/.iso/.img/
hash match), BEC subject+body composite, encoded payload in body.
PII discipline (TTP_TAGGING.md §'Hard parts §6') is enforced at the
lifter layer via _filter_evidence(): emitted TTPTag.evidence is
restricted to the EmailEvidence-allowed allowlist (body_sha256,
matched_headers — names only, rcpt_domain_set — domains only,
attachment_sha256s, rcpt_count) plus PII-safe match discriminators
(matched_kit, matched_trigger, matched_url_host, etc). Raw addresses,
raw body bytes, full URLs, and decoded base64 previews NEVER appear in
evidence — defense-in-depth over the YAML evidence_fields hint.
Tests: tests/ttp/test_email_lifter.py per-rule positive + negative +
PII allowlist guard + state modulation. tests/ttp/rule_precision/
test_email_rules.py xfail flipped to real precision (R0041-R0048
H-band ≥95%). Corpus rows updated to acknowledge that R0045 (masquerade)
co-fires with R0041 / R0047 when the sender-masquerade signals are
present alongside open-relay or BEC patterns — overlap is by design,
not a precision bug.
Browser-payload derivations per Appendix A.9: navigator.webdriver flag,
canvas/audio/WebGL automation hash matches (Puppeteer/Playwright/
Selenium/curl-impersonate), WebRTC IP leak, TZ/language vs source-IP
geo mismatch, navigator.platform vs userAgent vs WebGL renderer
inconsistency.
Evidence shape pinned to CanaryFingerprintEvidence (metric +
matched_signature) — raw fingerprint blobs (canvas hashes, full UAs,
navigator.platform values) explicitly NOT carried into TTPTag.evidence
per TTP_TAGGING.md §'Hard parts §7' (enrichment vs tag boundary). The
identity-merge guard rail is preserved: composite fp.id matches across
IPs are NOT a TTP, so no rule fires on the bare hash.
Tests: tests/ttp/test_canary_fingerprint_lifter.py per-rule positive +
negative + evidence-shape guard + state modulation.
tests/ttp/rule_precision/test_canary_rules.py xfail flipped to real
precision (R0049/R0050/R0051/R0053 H-band ≥95%; R0052 M-band ≥80%).
Per-provider verdict translator for AbuseIPDB, GreyNoise, Feodo Tracker,
and ThreatFox per Appendix A.10. Each rule's predicate inspects payload
fields produced by the enrich worker (no DB I/O, no decnet.intel.*
imports — E.2.7 decoupling guard preserved). AbuseIPDB confidence is
scaled by abuse_confidence_score / 100; categories drive per-technique
fan-out. R0058 aggregate-bump is a no-op in v0 (cross-tag bump deferred
to E.3.14 worker bootstrap).
Per-provider null tolerance is the steady state — a missing provider
column produces zero tags from that rule, never an error.
Tests:
- tests/ttp/test_intel_lifter.py — per-provider positive + negative +
state modulation + decoupling source-import guard.
- tests/ttp/rule_precision/test_intel_rules.py — xfail flipped, real
precision driven over seed_intel.jsonl (R0054-R0057 H-band ≥95%;
R0058 skipped as bump-only).
- tests/ttp/test_lifter_absence.py — IntelLifter all-populated test
flipped from xfail-strict to real assertion with realistic payload.
- tests/ttp/test_lifters.py — partial-null xfail flipped to real
assertion.
Reads pre-shaped session aggregates from TaggerEvent.payload and emits
techniques per Appendix A behavior tables. Per-rule predicates dispatch
on match.kind (lifter:behavioral_<name>); the lifter holds its own
RuleIndex watching the same RuleStore as the engine, so disable / clip /
TTL state reaches lifter-bound rules through the same atomic-swap path.
R0032/R0036/R0037/R0040 YAMLs had over-escaped regex strings (\\
instead of \\) — fixed in place.
Factory wired so default get_tagger() returns CompositeTagger with
BehavioralLifter shipped; remaining three lifters (E.3.10-E.3.12) land
in subsequent commits.
E.2.6 contract preserved via TolerantTagger: empty payload steady-state
yields [] with zero ERROR records. Disabled / clipped / expired state
verified.
E.3.9.0 prerequisite for the per-source lifters (E.3.9-E.3.13). The
dispatch index, install/evict/apply_change atomic-swap protocol, and
state-modulation helpers (is_active / apply_ceiling) move out of
rule_engine.py into _rule_index.py and _state.py. RuleEngine wraps a
RuleIndex; back-compat shims preserve _by_kind / _by_rule / _install
attribute access for tests poking at the dispatch internals.
Lifters in E.3.9-E.3.12 will each hold their own RuleIndex, watching
the same RuleStore via subscribe_changes() fan-out. Hot-reload
semantics (disable / clip / TTL via set_state API) now reach
lifter-bound rules through the same atomic-swap path the engine uses,
not a future composite-rebuild compromise.
Implements the rule engine body left empty at contract phase: evaluate()
dispatches by source_kind through self._by_kind, runs the rule's match
spec against event.payload, and emits one TTPTag per emits entry.
watch_store() loads the initial corpus from RuleStore.load_compiled,
then drains subscribe_changes, applying definition changes via
single-statement dict assignment (atomic swap, GIL-atomic to readers)
and state changes via NamedTuple._replace on the existing CompiledRule.
Why: with the FS + DB stores in place (E.3.5/E.3.6), the engine is the
last piece of the rule plane. Lifters (E.3.9–E.3.13) consume the
engine; the worker bootstrap (E.3.14) wires watch_store into the
asyncio event loop. After this commit a CompositeTagger constructed
with a RuleEngine + a populated rules dir will produce real tags.
Notes:
- CompiledRule.emits extended to 4-tuple
(technique_id, sub_technique_id, tactic, confidence). Tactic + confidence
ride per-emit so a single rule can carry multiple precision targets
(the "one event maps to many techniques" property). Compile helpers in
both backends extract them from the YAML emits dict; missing tactic
or confidence is a deploy-time error.
- v0 match operator is "pattern" (regex). The field defaults per
source_kind (command_text / raw_url / subject / verdict / …) and is
overridable via match.field. Future ops (contains, equals, in_set)
extend _match_event without touching the engine surface.
- Confidence model: rules with state="clipped" + confidence_max set
cap the per-emit confidence downward; clipped is a soft suppress, not
a hard skip. Disabled rules are skipped wholly; expires_at past is
re-checked at evaluate as defense-in-depth (the store auto-reverts,
but a racing read between expiry and revert must not fire the rule).
- _span(name, **attrs) helper in engine + both stores short-circuits on
decnet.telemetry._ENABLED — matches the project's @traced /
wrap_repository zero-overhead-when-disabled pattern instead of relying
solely on the no-op tracer indirection.
- Late-bound tracer (telemetry.get_tracer called per-span, not at
module load) so test_tracing's monkeypatch reaches the production
code path.
xfails flipped: tests/ttp/test_rule_engine.py multi-emit fan-out +
rule_version-collision-via-engine; tests/ttp/test_multi_mapping.py
N×M engine fan-out + idempotent replay; tests/ttp/test_tracing.py
ttp.eval span hierarchy + ttp.rule.fire span attributes.
Tests: 214 passed, 19 xfailed (gated on E.3.8 lifters / rule pack /
worker bootstrap).
mypy: clean on prod code; pre-existing test-stub arg-type warnings
unchanged.
Implements the DB-backed rule store body left empty at contract phase:
load_compiled reads from ttp_rule + ttp_rule_state; get_state /
set_state hit ttp_rule_state with the same expires_at auto-revert and
bus-event semantics as the FS backend; subscribe_changes returns a
per-subscriber queue. State persists across process restarts — the
swarm property the FS backend deliberately doesn't have.
Also lands two swarm-mode helpers:
- sync_from_filesystem(fs_store) — master-side, subscribes to a
FilesystemRuleStore and projects each RuleChange onto a ttp_rule
upsert/delete.
- tail_db(poll_interval) — worker-side, watermark poll over
ttp_rule.updated_at; emits RuleChange("definition", ...) for each
row that moved.
Why: swarm mode needs rule definitions and operator state to
propagate across hosts. The filesystem backend (E.3.5) was the
single-host-dev variant; this one survives restart and serves N
workers from a shared DB.
Notes:
- DatabaseRuleStore() with no args lazy-inits an in-memory SQLite
repo so the conformance fixture works without test plumbing. In
production the worker bootstrap (E.3.14) passes an explicit repo.
- The conftest.py rule_store fixture became async (pytest_asyncio),
per-backend creates/initializes a SQLite repo for the DB run.
- Adds a `seed_rule(store, rule_id, yaml)` helper to bridge backend
semantics: drop a YAML file (FS) vs insert a ttp_rule row (DB).
Used by the parametrized load_compiled conformance test.
- Late-bound _tracer() in both backends (was module-level get_tracer
binding) so test_tracing's monkeypatch of decnet.telemetry.get_tracer
actually affects span output.
xfails flipped: tests/ttp/store/test_database.py set_state-writes-to-
ttp_rule_state + filesystem-to-DB sync; tests/ttp/store/test_conformance.py
DB-side load_compiled / set_state isolation / round-trip / per-rule
fan-out / expired-state revert / set_state failure / get_state default
(was xfail-only-on-DB); tests/ttp/test_tracing.py set_state span
hierarchy.
Tests: 208 passed, 25 xfailed (gated on E.3.7 + lifters).
mypy: clean on all touched files.
Implements the filesystem-backed rule store body left empty at contract
phase: YAML parse + Pydantic validation, asyncinotify watch over
./rules/ttp/, in-process state cache with auto-revert on expires_at,
and a subscribe_changes() async iterator yielding one RuleChange per
per-rule edit. Bus topic builders ttp_rule_reloaded / ttp_rule_state
ship alongside.
Why: the rule plane needed a store before the engine (E.3.7) could
consume RuleChange events and atomically swap compiled rules into its
dispatch index.
Notes:
- Linux-only by construction (asyncinotify wheel gated by sys_platform
marker; FilesystemRuleStore.__init__ raises on non-Linux).
- Filename allowlist is the FIRST check on every inotify event.
- Content-hash dedup so a single write firing IN_CREATE + IN_CLOSE_WRITE
produces exactly one RuleChange.
- All compile work serializes on a single asyncio.Lock.
- Subscribers register their queue eagerly so events fired between
subscribe_changes() and the first __anext__() are buffered.
xfails flipped: per-save-style + filter-ordering + atomic-swap in
test_filesystem.py; load_compiled / set_state isolation / round-trip /
per-rule fan-out / expired-state revert / set_state failure semantics
in test_conformance.py (FS side; DB side stays xfail until E.3.6);
malformed-YAML compile-time check in test_rule_engine.py.
Tests: 197 passed, 35 xfailed (gated on E.3.6 / E.3.7 / lifters).
mypy + bandit: clean on all touched files.
Wiki update for the per-rule reload + state-change topics lands in a
matching wiki-checkout/Service-Bus.md edit (separate repo).
Five GET rollup endpoints (techniques, by-identity, by-attacker,
by-campaign, by-session) and the Navigator export (fleet +
per-identity) now call into the TTPMixin methods. Rule catalogue
endpoint still returns [] — backed by the RuleStore which lands
at E.3.5/E.3.6.
Dialect-split: portable rollup queries on TTPMixin; bulk insert with
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING / INSERT IGNORE in the per-dialect repos.
Confidence-floor (< 0.3) drop applied at mixin layer before the
dialect hook. BaseRepository now declares the six TTP methods abstract.
Tests in tests/web/db/test_ttp_repo.py flipped from pytest.fail stubs
to real dual-backend behavioral tests; tests/ttp/test_confidence.py
drop-below-floor xfail removed.
Adds decnet/ttp/store/ subpackage:
- base.py: RuleState frozen dataclass, RuleChange NamedTuple, RuleStore ABC
- factory.py: get_rule_store() reading DECNET_TTP_RULE_STORE_TYPE
- impl/filesystem.py: FilesystemRuleStore with sys.platform=='linux'
fail-fast guard, allowlist filename regex, raw inotify mask bits
(lib import deferred to E.3 so contract phase compiles without the
asyncinotify dep installed)
- impl/database.py: DatabaseRuleStore stub (no platform guard)
TTPRule + TTPRuleState SQLModels were already shipped at E.1.1; this
commit closes the type-only TYPE_CHECKING forward-ref in
rule_engine.py via real runtime imports through the new package.
Empty NotImplementedError bodies; the SQL lands at E.3 implementation.
Mixin composed onto SQLModelRepository alongside the existing domain
mixins. Dialect-specific INSERT-OR-IGNORE syntax overrides land in
the per-backend subclasses at E.3 per the dual-DB-backend convention.
Mounts /api/v1/ttp/* with empty-list / empty-Navigator responses.
GET endpoints viewer-gated; POST/DELETE /rules/{rule_id}/state
admin-gated server-side. POST parses JSON manually so a malformed
body returns the documented 400 (per feedback_schemathesis_400).
Drops xfail-strict markers from E.2.8 tests now that the router is
mounted; 26 tests pass against the contract handlers.
Third and fourth TTP-tagging contract commits, plus a scoped subset
of the E.2.4 conformance tests covering the contract surface shipped
here (full hypothesis-fuzz suite still lands with E.2.4).
E.1.3 — decnet/ttp/base.py
- TaggerEvent NamedTuple: source_kind, source_id, attacker_uuid,
identity_uuid, session_id, decky_id, opaque payload.
- Tagger(ABC) with abstract async tag(); class-level name and
HANDLES: frozenset[str] (default empty so a misconfigured subclass
is loudly idle, not loudly noisy).
- TolerantTagger(Tagger): concrete tag() wraps abstract _tag_impl()
in try/except Exception (deliberately not BaseException — so
KeyboardInterrupt / SystemExit / asyncio.CancelledError propagate
and the worker can shut down cleanly). Swallowed exceptions log
at WARNING with exc_info, never ERROR — absence is the steady
state, not a bug. Subclasses override _tag_impl, never tag — the
tolerance contract is enforced in the base class, not on trust.
- KNOWN_SOURCE_KINDS: Final[frozenset[str]] enumerating every
source_kind a producer is allowed to emit. Closed-by-enumeration
at the runtime layer; the composite tagger keys its WARNING/INFO
bridge off this constant to surface the silent-drop trap from
the design doc (lines 160–195).
E.1.4 — decnet/ttp/factory.py
- get_tagger() reads DECNET_TTP_TAGGER_TYPE (default 'composite');
unknown values raise ValueError with the known-list. Mirrors
decnet.intel.factory and decnet.clustering.factory.
- _KNOWN = ('composite',). Per-lifter classes (E.1.6) are children
of the composite, not standalone tagger types.
- CompositeTagger(Tagger): pre-computes a dict[str, list[Tagger]]
dispatch index from each lifter's HANDLES; fans events out
concurrently with asyncio.gather and concatenates results.
Empty lifters=[] is the legal contract-phase state — E.1.6
wires the real lifters in.
- Unhandled-event observability: source_kind in KNOWN_SOURCE_KINDS
but no lifter claims it -> WARNING once per kind per process
(missed E.1.6 update). Unknown kind -> INFO once per kind per
process (future-feature telemetry, by design). Per-process dedup
via plain set; E.1.6 may swap in a proper rate-limiter once
production traffic shapes are known.
Tests — tests/ttp/test_base.py, tests/ttp/test_factory.py
- Tagger / TolerantTagger abstractness, missing-tag-impl rejection,
WARNING-not-ERROR log level, propagation of KeyboardInterrupt /
SystemExit / asyncio.CancelledError.
- Factory env-var routing, unknown-name ValueError, dispatch-index
correctness, only-claiming-lifter invocation, WARNING-once for
known-but-unclaimed kinds, INFO-once for unknown kinds, result
concatenation across lifters.
Mypy clean under .311/bin/mypy --ignore-missing-imports.
Second TTP-tagging contract commit. Constants only — no publishers,
no subscribers, no tests. (E.2.3 ships the bus-topic naming tests.)
- New roots: EMAIL, TTP.
- New leaves: EMAIL_RECEIVED ('received', single-token under EMAIL),
TTP_TAGGED ('tagged'), TTP_RULE_FIRED ('rule.fired'),
TTP_RULE_SUPPRESSED ('rule.suppressed'). Per-rule reload + state
topics ship with the RuleStore (E.1.11) — co-located with
producer.
- New builders: email_topic(event_type), ttp(event_type),
ttp_rule_fired(technique_id). The ttp_rule_fired builder validates
technique_id as a single segment so sub-techniques like T1110.001
are rejected at construction; topic key is the parent technique,
sub_technique lives in the payload.
- email_topic is named with the _topic suffix to avoid shadowing the
Python email stdlib at import sites that pull both.
- TTP_TAGGING.md E.1.2 entry corrected: the spec referenced
'ATTACKER_ENRICHED' but the actual constant is
ATTACKER_INTEL_ENRICHED ('intel.enriched'). The existing constant
covers the design intent (TTP intel_lifter wakes on
attacker.intel.enriched). No rename — would break every existing
subscriber.
Wiki update for the four new topics ships in a sibling commit in
wiki-checkout (separate repo per project layout).
First contract commit of TTP tagging. Shapes only — no behavior.
- TTPTag SQLModel: deterministic UUIDv5 PK; (source_kind, source_id)
discriminated provenance; nullable attacker_uuid + identity_uuid
with ON DELETE CASCADE; native sqlalchemy.JSON evidence column;
required attack_release; CheckConstraint('attacker_uuid IS NOT
NULL OR identity_uuid IS NOT NULL'); composite indexes for the
primary query patterns (identity_uuid+technique_id,
attacker_uuid+technique_id, technique_id+created_at); __init__
guard raising ValueError with both anchor names in the message
(belt-and-braces for MySQL <8.0.16 where CHECK is silent).
- compute_tag_uuid(): RFC-4122 UUIDv5 over the six tag-identity
fields under a fixed _TTP_TAG_NS. Pure, deterministic, replay-safe.
- Per-source_kind evidence TypedDicts (CommandEvidence,
IntelEvidence, EmailEvidence, CanaryFingerprintEvidence) — PII
rule lives in the type: EmailEvidence has no field for raw rcpt
addresses or body bytes.
- TTPRule + TTPRuleState tables for the DatabaseRuleStore (E.1.11).
- All symbols re-exported from decnet.web.db.models per the
package's existing convention.
Tests for invariants (CHECK behavior, evidence round-trip across
SQLite+MySQL, idempotency property, init-guard ordering) land in
E.2.1/E.2.2 with xfail-strict markers per Appendix E discipline.
