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.
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.
Three producer-side regression guards. Each drives the worker's run
loop with a fake bus + stubbed repo and asserts the documented topic
fires when the producer has data:
- reuse correlator → credential.reuse.detected (one finding row)
- clusterer → identity.formed + identity.merged (one ClusterResult)
- intel worker → attacker.intel.enriched (one unenriched attacker
+ a fake provider returning a "malicious" verdict)
These complement commit 1's attacker.session.ended producer test —
together the four cover every TTP-relevant publisher in the tree
(modulo email.received, which has no producer yet; tracked in
DEBT.md).
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.
5 YAMLs for the intel-verdict cohort per Appendix B / A.10:
AbuseIPDB category mapping, GreyNoise classification, Feodo
Tracker hit, ThreatFox IOC type, aggregate-malicious bump-only.
IntelLifter (E.3.10) consumes by rule_id and tolerates absence
silently (null provider column → no tag).
R0058 is the meta bump-only rule — emits a single confidence=0.0
sentinel so it validates and surfaces in the catalogue, but the
repository's sub-0.3 drop ensures no fresh tag persists if the
fanout fires accidentally. test_intel_rules.py pins that
zero-confidence invariant.
Marks E.3.8 done in development/TTP_TAGGING.md with the cohort-
split summary.
5 YAMLs for the canary-fingerprint cohort per Appendix B / A.9:
navigator.webdriver flag, automation canvas/audio/WebGL hash match,
WebRTC IP leak, TZ/lang vs geo mismatch, platform inconsistency.
CanaryFingerprintLifter (E.3.11) consumes by rule_id.
test_canary_rules.py: YAML-present + inert-in-v0 + xfail(strict)
gated on E.3.11.
10 YAMLs for the behavioral / cross-event cohort per Appendix B:
beaconing, data destruction, ransom note, web exfil, DB mass-read,
credentials-in-files, k8s SA token harvest, Docker host escape,
LLMNR poisoning, TFTP router-config retrieval.
Every rule is lifter-bound (BehavioralLifter / IdentityLifter) —
the v0 RuleEngine cannot count, aggregate, or compose cross-event
signals, so these YAMLs declare the technique mappings the lifter
will consume by rule_id at E.3.9. Their match specs use a
'kind: lifter:*' shape inert to the regex matcher.
test_behavioral_rules.py asserts each YAML compiles, none fire
from the v0 engine (FP regression guard against a YAML drifting
into a regex), and an xfail(strict=True, reason='impl phase E.3.9')
precision case that will flip green when the lifter lands.
30 YAMLs for the shell/command rule cohort per Appendix B (rules/ttp/).
Splits into engine-active (R0007-R0029, regex on command_text /
raw_url / user_agent) and lifter-bound (R0001-R0006, R0030 — the
v0 RuleEngine cannot count auth attempts, do identity rollups, or
parse fingerprint blobs; the BehavioralLifter / IdentityLifter /
CredentialLifter consume them by rule_id at E.3.9 / E.3.13).
test_command_rules.py asserts:
- every R000N has a YAML that compiles
- lifter-bound rules NEVER fire from the v0 engine (regression
guard against a YAML drifting into a regex match.spec)
- engine-active rules meet their Appendix-C precision target
against the seed corpus (≥0.95 high-conf, ≥0.80 medium)
Conftest fixes: precision_engine moved to module-scope so module-
scope precomputed dispatch fixture (fired_by_label) can request it;
_RULES_DIR path bumped from parents[2] to parents[3] so the loader
resolves the project root regardless of pytest cwd; make_event
synthesizes attacker_uuid so TTPTag's anchor invariant is satisfied.
Seed corpus broadened: positive examples for every regex rule plus
6 negative examples across innocuous shell verbs (ls, echo, cd, ps,
df, free) so FPs surface in precision rather than passing vacuously.
Sub-step preceding the rule-pack commits per TTP_TAGGING.md:2967.
Adds the per-rule precision suite scaffolding under
tests/ttp/rule_precision/:
- conftest.py: precision_engine fixture (RuleEngine populated from
./rules/ttp/), corpus_loader (real → seed → empty fallback),
precision_for() helper for TP/FP accounting.
- _build_corpus.py: extractor for a real prod corpus pull. Mandatory
--exclude-ip / DECNET_TTP_CORPUS_EXCLUDE_IPS — operator IPs never
end up in the committed exclusion list. Pulls both 'command' and
'unknown_command' event types.
- corpus/seed_*.jsonl: synthetic seed rows for each cohort so the
harness exercises in clean checkouts.
- corpus/*.jsonl (operator-built) is gitignored.
- test_corpus_loads.py: sentinel that every seed file parses.
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 +

Tests: 214 passed, 19 xfailed (gated on E.3.8 lifters / rule pack /

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

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).
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.
Session-scoped autouse fixture in tests/ttp/conftest.py sets
DECNET_DEVELOPER_TRACING=true and forces decnet.telemetry._ENABLED
so the no-op tracer doesn't silently swallow emitted spans. The
span_exporter fixture also monkeypatches decnet.telemetry.get_tracer
so production code under test lands spans in the in-memory
exporter. Tracing tests skip when DECNET_OTEL_ENDPOINT (default
localhost:4317) isn't reachable so the dev loop stays green
without lying about coverage.
In-memory span exporter fixture wired to a per-test TracerProvider
(OTEL global is locked once set, so each test gets its own).
ttp.eval / ttp.lifter.{name} / ttp.rule.fire / ttp.rule.state.change
hierarchy + no-PII canary battery xfail-gated behind E.3.5–E.3.13.
Hypothesis property: N rule_ids × M technique_ids on one event yield
N×M distinct tag UUIDs. Worked example pinned: one rule emitting
(T1110, None) and (T1078, None) → two distinct UUIDs. Engine-level
fan-out + replay xfail-gated behind E.3.7.
Pre-target phases (RECONNAISSANCE/RESOURCE_DEVELOPMENT/WEAPONIZATION/
SOCIAL_ENGINEERING) and observable-but-unmappable phases (EXPLOITATION/
PIVOTING/OBJECTIVES, UKC-only concepts ATT&CK lacks tactics for) are
pinned as lossy via _LOSSY_INVERSE_REFERENCE so a future contributor
cannot 'fix' the asymmetry without tripping the suite.
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.
