Introduces the 'real_ssh' service plugin backed by a genuine OpenSSH
server (not cowrie), and the 'deaddeck' archetype that uses it. The
container ships with a lived-in Linux environment and a deliberately
weak root:admin credential to invite exploitation.
- templates/real_ssh/: Dockerfile + entrypoint (configurable via env)
- decnet/services/real_ssh.py: BaseService plugin, service_cfg supports
password and hostname overrides
- decnet/archetypes.py: deaddeck archetype added
- tests/test_real_ssh.py: 17 tests covering registration, compose
fragment structure, overrides, and archetype

net.core.rmem_default is a global (non-namespaced) kernel sysctl.
Docker's OCI runtime rejects it at container start with "permission denied"
unless the container runs --privileged. Drop it from the windows profile;
TTL=128 and tcp_syn_retries=2 are sufficient for nmap TTL-based detection.

Covers how it works, requirements, installation, quick start, full CLI
reference, archetypes table, services table, OS fingerprint spoofing,
distro profiles, INI config file format with field reference, logging,
network drivers (MACVLAN vs IPvlan), architecture overview, plugin
authoring guide, and test suite summary.

- ini_loader.py: DeckySpec gains nmap_os field; load_ini parses nmap_os=
(also accepts nmap-os= hyphen alias) and propagates it to amount-expanded deckies
- cli.py: _build_deckies_from_ini resolves nmap_os with priority:
explicit INI key > archetype default > "linux"
- test-full.ini: every decky now carries nmap_os=; [windows-workstation]
gains archetype= so its OS family is set correctly; decky-winbox/fileserv/
ldapdc → windows, decky-iot → embedded, decky-legacy → bsd, rest → linux
- tests/test_ini_loader.py: 7 new tests covering nmap_os parsing, defaults,
hyphen alias, and amount= expansion propagation

Each decky base container now receives a set of Linux kernel sysctls
(net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl, net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries, etc.) tuned to
match the claimed OS family, making nmap OS detection return the
expected OS rather than the Linux host.
- decnet/os_fingerprint.py: OS profile table (linux/windows/bsd/embedded/cisco)
keyed by TTL and TCP tuning knobs
- decnet/archetypes.py: Archetype gains nmap_os field; windows-* → "windows",
printer/iot/industrial → "embedded", rest → "linux"
- decnet/config.py: DeckyConfig gains nmap_os field (default "linux")
- decnet/cli.py: nmap_os resolved from archetype → DeckyConfig in both CLI
and INI build paths
- decnet/composer.py: base container gets sysctls + cap_add: [NET_ADMIN];
service containers inherit via shared network namespace
- tests/test_os_fingerprint.py: 48 new tests covering profiles, compose
injection, archetype coverage, and CLI propagation

Introduces archetype profiles (windows-workstation, linux-server,
domain-controller, printer, iot-device, etc.) so users get a realistic
service+distro combination without knowing which services to pick.
Adds amount= to INI config (and CLI --archetype) so a single section
can spawn N identical deckies without copy-paste. Per-service subsections
(e.g. [group.ssh]) propagate to all expanded instances automatically.

MACVLAN assigns unique MACs per container; WiFi APs typically reject
frames from unregistered MACs, making deckies unreachable from other
LAN devices. IPvlan L2 shares the host's MAC, so all traffic passes
through the AP normally.
- network.py: add create_ipvlan_network, setup_host_ipvlan,
teardown_host_ipvlan, HOST_IPVLAN_IFACE
- config.py: add ipvlan: bool = False to DecnetConfig (persisted to
state so teardown uses the right driver)
- deployer.py: branch on config.ipvlan for create/setup/teardown
- cli.py: add --ipvlan flag, wire into DecnetConfig
- tests/test_network.py: new test module covering ips_to_range,
create_macvlan/ipvlan, setup/teardown for both drivers

Subtraction underestimates the required prefix when IPs span a CIDR
boundary (e.g. .110–.119 gave /28 covering only .96–.111, leaving
deckies at .112+ unreachable from the host macvlan route).
XOR correctly finds the highest differing bit, yielding /27 (.96–.127).

deployer.py status lookup used f"{decky.name}-{svc}" verbatim, so
docker_api (underscore) resolved to "decky-devops-docker_api" while the
actual container is named "decky-devops-docker-api" (hyphen). Status
would always report it absent/degraded even when running.
Fix: normalize underscores to hyphens in the container name lookup,
consistent with how all service plugins name their containers.

dict[str, Any] and X | Y union syntax require Python 3.10+. Containers
running centos7/ubuntu20/rocky9 base images ship Python 3.6-3.9 and
crashed on import. Adding the __future__ import makes all annotations
lazy strings, compatible back to Python 3.7.
Affected: templates/decnet_logging.py (+ all 22 template copies),
decnet/logging/syslog_formatter.py, decnet/logging/file_handler.py

Previously --log-file only set DECNET_LOG_FILE inside containers with no
volume mount, so logs were lost on container restart and never visible on
the host. Now generate_compose binds the host log dir to
/var/log/decnet inside every service container so the file appears on
the host as expected.
- composer.py: _resolve_log_file() maps host path → container path;
generate_compose() mkdir's host dir and injects volume + DECNET_LOG_FILE
- tests/test_log_file_mount.py: 9 new tests covering mount format,
env injection, dir creation, and dedup

- HTTP: configurable server_header, response_code, fake_app presets
(apache/nginx/wordpress/phpmyadmin/iis), extra_headers, custom_body,
static files directory mount
- SSH/Cowrie: configurable kernel_version, hardware_platform, ssh_banner,
and users/passwords via COWRIE_USERDB_ENTRIES; switched to build mode
so cowrie.cfg.j2 persona fields and userdb.txt generation work
- SMTP: configurable banner and MTA hostname
- MySQL: configurable version string in protocol greeting
- Redis: configurable redis_version and os string in INFO response
- BYOS: [custom-*] INI sections define bring-your-own Docker services
- Stealth: rename all *_honeypot.py → server.py; replace HONEYPOT_NAME
env var with NODE_NAME across all 22+ service templates and plugins;
strip "honeypot" from all in-container file content
- Config: DeckyConfig.service_config dict; INI [decky-N.svc] subsections;
composer passes service_cfg to compose_fragment
- 350 tests passing (100%)
