New `decnet listener` command runs the master-side RFC 5425 syslog-TLS
receiver as a standalone process (mirrors `decnet api` / `decnet swarmctl`
pattern, SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers, --daemon support).
`decnet agent` now accepts --agent-dir so operators running the worker
agent under sudo/root can point at a bundle outside /root/.decnet/agent
(the HOME under sudo propagation).
Both flags were needed to stand up the full SWARM pipeline end-to-end on
a throwaway VM: mTLS control plane reachable, syslog-over-TLS wire
confirmed via tcpdump, master-crash/resume proved with zero loss and
zero duplication across 10 forwarded lines.
pyproject: bump asyncmy floor to 0.2.11 (resolver already pulled this in).
The /opt/emit_capture.py, /opt/syslog_bridge.py, and
/usr/libexec/udev/journal-relay files were plaintext and world-readable
to any attacker root-shelled into the SSH honeypot — revealing the full
capture logic on a single cat.
Pack all three into /entrypoint.sh as XOR+gzip+base64 blobs at build
time (_build_stealth.py), then decode in-memory at container start and
exec the capture loop from a bash -c string. No .py files under /opt,
no journal-relay file under /usr/libexec/udev, no argv_zap name
anywhere. The LD_PRELOAD shim is installed as
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev-shared.so.1 — sits next to the real
libudev.so.1 and blends into the multiarch layout.
A 1-byte random XOR key is chosen at image build so a bare
'base64 -d | gunzip' probe on the visible entrypoint returns binary
noise instead of readable Python.
Docker-dependent tests live under tests/docker/ behind a new 'docker'
pytest marker (excluded from the default run, same pattern as fuzz /
live / bench).
Rename the container-side logging module decnet_logging → syslog_bridge
(canonical at templates/syslog_bridge.py, synced into each template by
the deployer). Drop the stale per-template copies; setuptools find was
picking them up anyway. Swap useradd/USER/chown "decnet" for "logrelay"
so no obvious token appears in the rendered container image.
Apply the same cloaking pattern to the telnet template that SSH got:
syslog pipe moves to /run/systemd/journal/syslog-relay and the relay
is cat'd via exec -a "systemd-journal-fwd". rsyslog.d conf rename
99-decnet.conf → 50-journal-forward.conf. SSH capture script:
/var/decnet/captured → /var/lib/systemd/coredump (real systemd path),
logger tag decnet-capture → systemd-journal. Compose volume updated
to match the new in-container quarantine path.
SD element ID shifts decnet@55555 → relay@55555; synced across
collector, parser, sniffer, prober, formatter, tests, and docs so the
host-side pipeline still matches what containers emit.
asyncmy needs cryptography for caching_sha2_password (the MySQL 8
default auth plugin). Without it, connection handshake fails the
moment the server negotiates the modern plugin.
stdlib json was FastAPI's default. Every response body, every SSE frame,
and every add_log/state/payload write paid the stdlib encode cost.
- pyproject.toml: add orjson>=3.10 as a core dep.
- decnet/web/api.py: default_response_class=ORJSONResponse on the
FastAPI app, so every endpoint return goes through orjson without
touching call sites. Explicit JSONResponse sites in the validation
exception handlers migrated to ORJSONResponse for consistency.
- health endpoint's explicit JSONResponse → ORJSONResponse.
- SSE stream (api_stream_events.py): 6 json.dumps call sites →
orjson.dumps(...).decode() — the per-event frames that fire on every
sse tick.
- sqlmodel_repo.py: encode sites on the log-insert path switched to
orjson (fields, payload, state value). Parser sites (json.loads)
left as-is for now — not on the measured hot path.
New `profile` optional-deps group, opt-in Pyinstrument ASGI middleware
gated by DECNET_PROFILE_REQUESTS, bench marker + tests/perf/ micro-benchmarks
for repository hot paths, and scripts/profile/ helpers for py-spy/cProfile/memray.
Root cause: test_schemathesis.py mutates decnet.web.auth.SECRET_KEY at
module-level import time, poisoning JWT verification for all other tests
in the same process — even when fuzz tests are deselected.
- Add pytest_ignore_collect hook in tests/api/conftest.py to skip
collecting test_schemathesis.py unless -m fuzz is selected
- Add --dist loadscope to addopts so xdist groups by module (protects
module-scoped fixtures in live tests)
- Remove now-unnecessary xdist_group markers from live test classes
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/sniffer/decnet_logging.py: add logging configuration for sniffer integration
- templates/ssh/decnet_logging.py: add SSH service logging template
- development/DEVELOPMENT.md: document new MySQL backend, p0f, profiler, config API features
- pyproject.toml: update dependencies for MySQL, p0f, profiler functionality
Remove unused imports (ruff F401), suppress B324 false positives on
spec-mandated MD5 in HASSH/JA3/JA3S fingerprinting, drop unused
record_version assignment in JARM parser, and pin pip>=26.0 in dev
deps to address CVE-2025-8869 and CVE-2026-1703.
Spins up each service's server.py in a real subprocess via a free ephemeral
port (PORT env var), connects with real protocol clients, and asserts both
correct protocol behavior and RFC 5424 log output.
- 44 live tests across 10 services: http, ftp, smtp, redis, mqtt,
mysql, postgres, mongodb, pop3, imap
- Shared conftest.py: _ServiceProcess (bg reader thread + queue),
free_port, live_service fixture, assert_rfc5424 helper
- PORT env var added to all 10 targeted server.py templates
- New pytest marker `live`; excluded from default addopts run
- requirements-live-tests.txt: flask, twisted + protocol clients
- Add # nosec B104 to all intentional 0.0.0.0 binds in honeypot servers
(hardcoded_bind_all_interfaces is by design — deckies must accept attacker connections)
- Add # nosec B101 to assert statements used for protocol validation in ldap/snmp
- Add # nosec B105 to fake SASL placeholder in ldap
- Add # nosec B108 to /tmp usage in smb template
- Exclude root-owned auto-generated decnet_logging.py copies from bandit scan
via pyproject.toml [tool.bandit] config (synced by _sync_logging_helper at deploy)
- Rebuild repo.engine and repo.session_factory per-test using unique
in-memory SQLite URIs — fixes KeyError: 'access_token' caused by
stale session_factory pointing at production DB
- Add @pytest.mark.fuzz to all Hypothesis and Schemathesis tests;
default run excludes them (addopts = -m 'not fuzz')
- Add missing fuzz tests to bounty, fleet, histogram, and repository
- Use tmp_path for state file in patch_state_file/mock_state_file to
eliminate file-path race conditions under xdist parallelism
- Set default addopts: -v -q -x -n logical (26 tests in ~7s)
