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.
Commit-by-commit evidence of the perf work: each CSV is the raw
Locust output for the commit hash in its filename, plus the four
fb69a06 variants (single worker, tracing on/off, single-core pinned,
12 workers) referenced in the README baseline table.
verify_password / get_password_hash are CPU-bound and take ~250ms each
at rounds=12. Called directly from async endpoints, they stall every
other coroutine for that window — the single biggest single-worker
bottleneck on the login path.
Adds averify_password / ahash_password that wrap the sync versions in
asyncio.to_thread. Sync versions stay put because _ensure_admin_user and
tests still use them.
5 call sites updated: login, change-password, create-user, reset-password.
tests/test_auth_async.py asserts parallel averify runs concurrently (~1x
of a single verify, not 2x).
Extends tracing to every remaining module: all 23 API route handlers,
correlation engine, sniffer (fingerprint/p0f/syslog), prober (jarm/hassh/tcpfp),
profiler behavioral analysis, logging subsystem, engine, and mutator.
Bridges the ingester→SSE trace gap by persisting trace_id/span_id columns on
the logs table and creating OTEL span links in the SSE endpoint. Adds log-trace
correlation via _TraceContextFilter injecting otel_trace_id into Python LogRecords.
Includes development/docs/TRACING.md with full span reference (76 spans),
pipeline propagation architecture, quick start guide, and troubleshooting.
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
real_ssh was a separate service name pointing to the same template and
behaviour as ssh. Merged them: ssh is now the single real-OpenSSH service.
- Rename templates/real_ssh/ → templates/ssh/
- Remove decnet/services/real_ssh.py
- Deaddeck archetype updated: services=["ssh"]
- Merge test_real_ssh.py into test_ssh.py (includes deaddeck + logging tests)
- Drop decnet.services.real_ssh from test_build module list
Phase 1 is complete. Live testing revealed:
- Window size (64240) is already correct — Phase 2 window mangling unnecessary
- TI=Z (IP ID = 0) is the single remaining blocker for Windows spoofing
- ip_no_pmtu_disc does NOT fix TI=Z (tested and confirmed)
Revised phase plan:
- Phase 2: ICMP tuning (icmp_ratelimit + icmp_ratemask sysctls)
- Phase 3: NFQUEUE daemon for IP ID rewriting (fixes TI=Z)
- Phase 4: diminishing returns, not recommended
Added detailed NFQUEUE architecture, TCPOPTSTRIP notes, and
note clarifying P= field in nmap output.
- Buffer DATA body until CRLF.CRLF terminator — fixes 502-on-every-body-line bug
- SMTP_OPEN_RELAY=1: AUTH accepted (235), RCPT TO accepted for any domain,
full DATA pipeline with queued-as message ID
- Default (SMTP_OPEN_RELAY=0): credential harvester — AUTH rejected (535)
but connection stays open, RCPT TO returns 554 relay denied
- SASL PLAIN and LOGIN multi-step AUTH both decoded and logged
- RSET clears all per-transaction state
- Add development/SMTP_RELAY.md, IMAP_BAIT.md, ICS_SCADA.md, BUG_FIXES.md
(live-tested service realism plans)
