Adds instance_seed.py to every service template (conpot, docker_api,
imap, k8s, llmnr, pop3, rdp, sip, smb, snmp, ssh, telnet, tftp, vnc).
Derives a stable per-instance seed from NODE_NAME (+ optional
INSTANCE_ID) and exposes deterministic helpers for the boring details
scanners would otherwise use to fingerprint the whole fleet as one
machine: cluster UUIDs, auth salts, uptime fixtures, minor version
strings. Connection-time jitter is intentionally NOT seeded — two hits
to the same decky must not replay the same latency curve.
Identical source across every template; lives next to each service so
the Docker build context picks it up without a shared package-data hop.
Exclude lists fail open — anything new at the master's repo root (venvs,
logs, dev notes, .env.local, local DB dumps) silently leaks into every
agent bundle. On this box a stray .311 venv (335 MB) + logs/ (220 MB)
bloated the tarball to ~150 MB and blew test_enroll_bundle timeouts.
Replace _EXCLUDES + _is_excluded with _INCLUDED_ROOT_FILES +
_INCLUDED_DIRS + _EXCLUDED_DECNET_SUBTREES and iterate via os.walk with
in-place dirnames[:] pruning so master-only subtrees (decnet/web,
decnet/mutator, decnet/profiler) and __pycache__ aren't descended into
at all.
Bundle contents are now strictly: pyproject.toml + the decnet/ package
minus the three master-only subtrees. Synthetic entries (INI, certs,
systemd units) unchanged — they were always added inline, not from the
tree walk.
test_enroll_bundle.py: 20/20 pass in 24s (was timing out at 15s/test).
Populates Attacker.country_code + country_source (MVP) using the five
RIR delegated-stats files (ARIN/RIPE/APNIC/LACNIC/AFRINIC). Offline,
license-free, no outbound traffic that could burn honeypot stealth.
- decnet.geoip package with factory/base/lookup + rir/ subpackage
(fetch/parse/provider) mirroring the db + bus factory convention
- Profiler._build_record calls enrich_ip on every upsert
- Idempotent ALTER TABLE migrations for both SQLite and MySQL
- decnet geoip refresh/lookup CLI (master-only)
- /var/lib/decnet/geoip seeded by decnet init
- DECNET_GEOIP_ENABLED=false kill-switch; set in tests/conftest.py so
unit tests never trigger the first-access fetch
The config file `decnet init` dropped at /etc/decnet/config.ini was a
stub with a single [decnet] header saying 'reserved for future structured
settings.' Admins who wanted to tune DECNET_API_HOST, DECNET_DB_URL,
DECNET_BATCH_SIZE, etc. had to hunt env.py for the exact variable name
and drop it in .env.local.
Changes:
- decnet/config_ini.py — adds a _DOMAIN_MAP translation table covering
[api], [web], [database], [bus], [swarm], [logging], [ingester],
[tracing]. Loads regardless of mode; unknown keys inside a known
section log a WARNING (operator typos shouldn't be silent).
Explicit key map (not auto kebab-to-snake) so [web] admin-user lands
in DECNET_ADMIN_USER without silently renaming the env-var contract
consumers import from decnet.env.
- decnet/cli/init.py — renames the placeholder target config.ini →
decnet.ini (unifies with the name already used by load_ini_config and
the enroll bundle's _render_decnet_ini). Placeholder body now shows
every domain section as a commented example so admins learn the
shape by reading. Deinit removes both decnet.ini and the legacy
config.ini so upgrading hosts leave no orphan file.
Precedence is unchanged: real env > INI > built-in default in env.py.
os.environ.setdefault means systemd EnvironmentFile= and one-off
DECNET_FOO=bar decnet ... invocations always win.
Secrets explicitly NOT moved to the INI:
- DECNET_JWT_SECRET
- DECNET_ADMIN_PASSWORD
- DECNET_DB_PASSWORD
They stay in .env.local / EnvironmentFile= — never in a group-readable
INI, never in a diff, never on the dashboard.
Dev/profiling flags (DECNET_DEVELOPER, DECNET_EMBED_*, DECNET_PROFILE_*)
also stay env-only per maintainer direction — dev knobs shouldn't
be one 'I'll flip this for tonight' away.
Tests: +5 in test_config_ini.py (domain sections load regardless of mode,
env beats INI for domain keys, unknown key warns, absent section is
no-op, role section beats domain section via setdefault precedence). +1
in test_init.py (placeholder writes decnet.ini with every section
header present as commented guidance).
31 tests pass across the two files (was 26).
Distros reserve /opt for different things (some package managers own it
outright), and a DECNET install that wants to live at /srv/decnet or
/usr/local/decnet had to hand-edit 13 service files post-install.
Converts every deploy/decnet-*.service to a .j2 template keyed on
{{ install_dir }}, rendered by `decnet init` at install time. All other
paths (log_dir, state_dir, runtime_dir, user, group) stay standard —
only install_dir varies.
Changes:
- deploy/decnet-*.service → deploy/decnet-*.service.j2 (13 files).
- decnet init gains --install-dir (default /opt/decnet, preserves
existing behaviour byte-for-byte). Validates absolute-path at the
CLI boundary. Threads through useradd --home-dir and the dir-creation
list so the filesystem layout matches the rendered templates.
- _install_units renders via Jinja2 with StrictUndefined (typo → loud
error, not a silent broken unit). SHA over rendered output so
operators with a custom install_dir get idempotent re-runs.
- decnet.target, tmpfiles.d, polkit rule stay static — they don't
reference install paths.
- 4 new tests: custom install_dir renders into units, default remains
/opt/decnet, relative paths rejected, second run with same custom
dir is idempotent.
Worker bus instances (collector, ingester) close their private buses
in finally blocks on shutdown, but stream threads holding closure
references kept calling publish after close — one `RuntimeError:
publish on closed bus` per stream line, caught by publish_safely
and logged per call, flooding server logs.
Changes:
- `UnixSocketBus.publish()` now drops post-close calls. First drop
WARNs loudly (bus is critical infra — silent drops would hide real
problems); subsequent drops on the same instance log at DEBUG to
prevent the flood. Sticky `_closed_publish_warned` flag, reset
naturally per new bus instance.
- `make_thread_safe_publisher` short-circuits on a closed bus before
marshalling a coroutine onto the loop. Avoids the wasted scheduling
work in the hot shutdown path.
Degradation is safe: callers go through `publish_safely`, which
already treats exceptions as 'dropped notification, DB is source of
truth.' We just stop manufacturing the exception in the first place
for a known-benign condition.
A startup race between `decnet bus` being ready and the API's lifespan
hitting `get_app_bus()` at api.py:135 would set `_tried = True`
permanently, poisoning the singleton for the rest of the process: the
dashboard shows BUS OFFLINE, topology SSE falls into the bus-is-None
snapshot-only branch, mutator publish calls no-op. Only an API
restart recovered.
Replaces the one-shot veto with a time-gated retry keyed on a
`_last_failure_ts` monotonic timestamp plus a 2 s backoff. Publishers
on the hot path still pay at most one connect attempt every 2 s when
the bus is down, but the singleton auto-recovers within 5 s (one
dashboard poll) once the bus comes up.
The asyncio lock still serialises concurrent callers so the bus server
doesn't get stampeded with parallel connect attempts on startup.
Registers a generic @app.exception_handler(Exception) that catches anything
uncaught in route handlers / dependencies. Prod response is opaque:
{detail: 'Internal Server Error', error_id: <uuid4 hex>}. Dev mode
(DECNET_DEVELOPER=True) adds exception_type and traceback fields so
failures are debuggable without tailing server logs.
The error_id is logged alongside the full traceback server-side, letting
operators correlate a user's 500 report with the exact exception via
`grep <error_id> /var/log/decnet.log`.
FastAPI's own HTTPException routing and the existing
RequestValidationError / ValidationError / RateLimitExceeded handlers
still take precedence — this handler only fires on genuinely-uncaught
exceptions.
Flips threat model F1/I 'traceback / stack trace leakage' from ? to M
and logs a follow-up checklist entry for 4 detail=str(e) sites in the
fleet deploy router (admin-gated, different threat class, separate
audit).
Adds slowapi two-bucket rate limit on /auth/login — 10 attempts per
5 minutes per-IP AND per-username, tripping either → 429. Per-IP
catches botnets hitting one account; per-username catches distributed
credential stuffing against one account. In-memory storage: dashboard
API is single-process, Redis is disproportionate for v1.
X-Forwarded-For is deliberately NOT trusted (spoofable); reverse-proxy
deployments get one shared bucket per proxy IP. Logged in the threat
model as accepted risk DA-08, to be revisited when a verified-proxy
config lands.
Also scaffolds development/THREAT_MODEL.md with STRIDE-per-element
methodology, system-context DFD, and Dashboard↔API as the first fully
worked component (7 sub-flows, ~50 threat entries). F1 Authn ships
with 3 threats mitigated: rate limit (new), uniform 401 (verified
already in place), bcrypt length clamp (verified already in place via
Pydantic max_length=72).
Adds GET /attackers/{uuid}/smtp-targets (viewer) and GET /attackers/{uuid}/mail
(admin) endpoints, plus two new sections on the attacker detail page:
VICTIM DOMAINS rollup (aggregate-only, federation-gossip-safe) and STORED MAIL
with a drawer that decodes headers, lists attachments, and downloads the raw
.eml via the existing artifact endpoint (?service=smtp).
New SmtpTarget table records each (attacker, domain) pair observed via
the SMTP honeypots. Only the domain is stored — local-parts are dropped
at ingestion, so this table holds no user-identifying data beyond the
target organisation's identity.
The profiler worker extracts domains from rcpt_to / rcpt_denied /
message_accepted events, normalizes them (lowercase, strip local-part,
drop blocked TLDs), and upserts one row per pair with a running count +
first_seen / last_seen.
Three repo methods shipped:
* increment_smtp_target(attacker, domain) — upsert + bump
* list_smtp_targets(attacker) — per-attacker view
* smtp_target_seen(domain) — cross-attacker aggregate, shaped as the
federation-gossip RPC that V2 will expose.
The gossip-query shape is load-bearing: each operator can answer
"have any of your attackers targeted corp1.com?" without leaking
which attackers or when — the aggregate returns a bool + total count
+ first/last seen, nothing else.
SMTP template now writes each accepted DATA body as a .eml file into a
bind-mounted per-decky quarantine dir and emits a `message_stored` log
with sha256, size, decoded headers, and an attachment manifest
(filename + sha256 + size + content-type). Attachment hashing uses the
*decoded* payload so operators can match against VT / MalwareBazaar
directly. Body accumulator is capped at SMTP_MAX_BODY_BYTES (default
10 MB, matching the EHLO SIZE advert) so a streaming client can't OOM
the container.
The existing /api/v1/artifacts/{decky}/{stored_as} endpoint now takes
an optional ?service= query param (defaults to ssh for back-compat)
and can serve .eml files out of the smtp subdir. Forensic metadata
rides the normal log pipeline, same as SSH file_captured.
decnet/web/db/models.py was approaching 1000 lines across User/Log/
Attacker/Swarm/Topology/Workers/Updater/Health domains. Split into a
package with one module per domain; __init__.py re-exports every symbol
so all 52 call sites keep importing from decnet.web.db.models
unchanged.
New purpose-built table with schema_version column committed from day one
so V2 federation gossip can cluster sessions across operators without
retrofitting. Ships with the empty write path (upsert_session_profile);
ingestion of keystroke features (IKI moments, control-char rates, digraph
SimHash) is tracked as V2 work.
Closes gap #2 from SIGNAL_CAPTURE_AUDIT.md.
Parse RFC 4253 §4.2 identification strings from the first attacker→decky
data segment on TCP/22; emit ssh_client_banner syslog events and bus
fan-out. Profiler's sniffer_rollup dedupes observed banners into a new
AttackerBehavior.ssh_client_banners JSON column.
Closes gap #3 from SIGNAL_CAPTURE_AUDIT.md.
Prober already emits kex_algorithms in hassh_fingerprint syslog events, but
the raw ordered list was only queryable via the generic bounty store. Add a
dedicated AttackerBehavior.kex_order_raw column (TEXT, JSON list) so
post-v1 KEX-order fingerprinting has a typed, indexable home.
Pipeline:
- sniffer_rollup() now consumes hassh_fingerprint events and collects
distinct kex_algorithms strings across ports.
- build_behavior_record() JSON-encodes the list (NULL when empty).
- sqlmodel_repo._deserialize_behavior() parses it back into a list.
Closes pre-v1 gap #1 from SIGNAL_CAPTURE_AUDIT.md.
Break the 603-line behavioral.py into timing/classify/tools/phases/fingerprint
sibling modules plus a slim orchestrator. Public API unchanged: behavioral.py
re-exports every previously-exposed symbol, so worker.py and existing tests
keep working with zero import changes.
No behavior change; all 64 profiler tests pass.
delete_topology_cascade manually deletes status_events, edges, deckies
and lans but overlooked topology_mutations, so deleting any topology
that ever had a mutation enqueued (i.e. edits while active|degraded)
failed with an FK IntegrityError. Add the missing DELETE and extend
the cascade test to seed a mutation row.
MazeNET header now reports '{running}/{total} DECKIES RUNNING' so
operators can see per-topology runtime status at a glance.
Dashboard ACTIVE DECKIES counters used to reflect only the fleet state
file; TopologyDecky rows (MazeNET deployments) are now added in —
deployed_deckies = fleet + all topology rows, active_deckies = fleet
(no runtime field) + topology rows whose state is 'running'.
POST /topologies/{id}/lans previously called _auto_attach_gateway()
whenever a non-DMZ LAN was created, which wired the DMZ gateway decky
to every new subnet. That's why a deployed gateway ended up with
eth0..ethN on every LAN regardless of what the user drew in MazeNET.
Drop the auto-attach helper entirely. The DMZ_ORPHAN deploy-time
validator (decnet/topology/validate.py:65-110) stays strict — users
must explicitly wire the gateway to each subnet they want bridged,
which is the whole point of having a topology editor.
useMazeApi.ts: drop stale auto-bridge reference from comment.
Reverse of init, step-by-step: systemctl disable --now decnet.target,
remove every decnet-*.service + decnet.target unit file, drop the
polkit rule, drop the tmpfiles.d entry, daemon-reload, remove
/etc/decnet + /etc/decnet/config.ini, /run/decnet, /opt/decnet, and
userdel/groupdel the decnet identity.
Preserves /var/lib/decnet and /var/log/decnet by default — those
hold operator data. Pass `--deinit --purge` to rm -rf them too.
Idempotent on a clean host (every step prints [SKIP]). Honours
--dry-run.
5 new tests cover the full-undo path, --purge, idempotent clean-host
deinit, dry-run side-effect-free behaviour, and the --purge without
--deinit guard.
Creates the decnet system user/group, installs every unit file from
deploy/ into /etc/systemd/system, drops the polkit rule, seeds
/opt/decnet + /var/{lib,log}/decnet + /etc/decnet + /run/decnet,
writes a placeholder /etc/decnet/config.ini, applies the new
tmpfiles.d entry so /run/decnet survives reboots, daemon-reloads,
and `systemctl enable --now decnet.target`.
Idempotent (re-runs print [SKIP] on already-configured items),
--dry-run previews the plan without touching anything, --no-start
defers the target start, --force overwrites even matching unit
files. Master-only (added to MASTER_ONLY_COMMANDS).
9 orchestration tests cover the non-root gate, dry-run, useradd/
groupadd argv, SKIP on present user/group, unit-file idempotency,
--force overwrite, --no-start suppression, happy path, and the
"deploy/ not found" error message.
POST /api/v1/workers/{name}/start — 202 on acceptance, 404 unknown
worker, 503 if the unit file is not installed, 502 if systemctl
returns non-zero (stderr snippet in detail, full stack logged).
Admin only.
POST /api/v1/workers/start-all — best-effort: walks the worker list
in dependency order (bus → api → data-plane), skips already-active
and uninstalled units, aggregates outcomes into
{started, already_running, failed[]}. Returns 200 even on partial
failure; the caller reads the three lists.
Both endpoints delegate to the systemd_control helper, so the attack
surface for "what gets executed" is locked to `decnet-<validated-name>
.service` at two layers (router KNOWN_WORKERS + helper regex).
Ships the backend half of Config → Workers:
* Worker registry aggregates `system.*.health` + `system.bus.health`
heartbeats into a last-seen dict; OK / STALE / UNKNOWN tiers drop
out of a 90s window (3× the 30s heartbeat interval).
* `GET /api/v1/workers` returns the snapshot plus `bus_connected`
(so the UI can explain "all UNKNOWN" when the bus socket is down)
and a per-row `installed` flag populated from
`systemctl list-unit-files decnet-*.service` (cached 30s).
* `POST /api/v1/workers/{name}/stop` publishes a stop intent on
`system.<name>.control`; workers listen via the shared control
listener in `bus/publish.py`.
* Heartbeat + control listener wired into collector / profiler /
sniffer / prober / mutator worker loops. API self-heartbeats too
so the panel always has one ground-truth row.
* Topic helper `system_control(name)` + tests covering builder
validation, control listener shutdown path, and the API surface
(auth gating, bus-connected field, unknown-name 404).
Adds `StartFailure` / `StartAllResponse` models in anticipation of
the upcoming start endpoints (DEBT-034).
Thin async wrapper over `systemctl` — never shell=True, always
create_subprocess_exec. Unit names are built from
`decnet-<validated-name>.service`; the regex check is defence in depth
on top of the router-level KNOWN_WORKERS validation.
Exposes start / stop / is_active / list_installed; last is cached for
30s to keep the Workers panel cheap under REFRESH spam. On non-systemd
hosts list_installed returns an empty set, so the UI renders with
every row marked not-installed instead of 500-ing.
Every service template now pulls version strings, cluster/node UUIDs, auth
salts, greeting banners, and uptime from the seeded per-instance RNG instead
of hard-coded defaults. Scanners sweeping the fleet now see legitimately
diverging fingerprints per decky while each decky's own responses stay
internally consistent across restarts.
Covers elasticsearch, ftp, http, https, ldap, mongodb, mqtt, mssql, mysql,
postgres, redis, and smtp templates.
Each decky now gets a deterministic-per-instance seeded RNG derived from
NODE_NAME, so cluster UUIDs, version strings, uptime, and credentials diverge
across the fleet while staying stable within one container. The canonical
helper lives at decnet/templates/instance_seed.py; the deployer copies it into
every active template build context alongside syslog_bridge.py. Dockerfiles
COPY it to /opt/ so server.py can import it.
Connection-time jitter intentionally stays unseeded — two hits to the same
decky must not replay the same latency curve.
The ssh and telnet services hard-coded /var/lib/decnet/artifacts as the host
quarantine mount. Read it from DECNET_ARTIFACTS_ROOT with the same default so
dev/rootless deploys can point it elsewhere.
Paging, truncation surfacing, admin gate, path traversal, sid-regex and
decky-mismatch rejection for /transcripts; mirror coverage for
/attackers/{uuid}/transcripts. Flips the Session Recording box in the
roadmap (sessrec pty relay now shipping end-to-end).
Adds get_attacker_transcripts (mirror of artifacts for session_recorded
logs) and get_session_log for sid→shard resolution. New
/api/v1/transcripts/{decky}/{sid}?offset=&limit= pages asciinema events
out of the shared JSONL day-shard via an mtime-keyed byte-offset index
— never scans the whole shard per request. New
/api/v1/attackers/{uuid}/transcripts lists sessions for drilldown. Both
endpoints admin-gated.
Build login-session into both images as the swapped root shell, add a
quarantine bind mount for telnet (symmetric to SSH), seed transcripts/
dir and service discriminant at entrypoint. Deployer syncs sessrec.c +
Makefile into each build context alongside the existing syslog_bridge
helper. sessrec falls back to /etc/sessrec.service when env is stripped
(busybox /bin/login).
New decnet/templates/_shared/sessrec/ — a small C program installed as the
login shell in SSH / Telnet deckies. Forkpty-relays /bin/bash, records each
chunk as an asciinema v2 event into a shared JSONL day-shard keyed by sid,
and emits one RFC 5424 session_recorded line on exit (direct to PID 1's
stdout, same pattern syslog_bridge.py uses).
Storage: one shard per (decky, UTC day) at
/var/lib/systemd/coredump/transcripts/sessions-YYYY-MM-DD.jsonl. Concurrent
appends are lock-free: each write is chunked below PIPE_BUF so O_APPEND
interleaves atomically. Per-session cap 10 MB with a trunc sentinel; disk-
free precheck (<200 MB) falls through to plain bash with a session_skipped
log event. Attacker src_ip resolves from \$SSH_CONNECTION, getpeername(0),
or utmp in that order. SIGWINCH appends a 'r' resize event so ncurses
replays stay aligned.
Stealth for v1: /etc/passwd shell-swap to /usr/libexec/login-session
(plausible login-machinery path) + prctl comm disguise. Full LD_PRELOAD
argv-zap is deferred — sshd strips LD_PRELOAD from the session env, so
wiring the existing argv_zap.so into this path needs a separate wrapper.
DEBT-033 opened for size-based day-shard rotation; v1's disk-free precheck
covers the worst case but can be blinded by a one-shot disk fill.
Topology rows deleted without a proper teardown leave Docker containers
and bridge networks behind, holding IPAM pools that cause 403 "Pool
overlaps" on the next deploy at the same subnet.
- engine/reaper.py walks the local Docker daemon, extracts the 8-char
topology prefix from every decnet_t_* resource, and force-removes
containers + networks whose prefix is not in the repo.
- POST /api/v1/topologies/reap-orphans (admin-only) returns a report
of live/orphan prefixes and what was removed.
- Resources belonging to live topologies are never touched; per-resource
errors are captured without aborting the sweep.
When create_bridge_network or compose-up raised mid-deploy, the
deployer marked the topology FAILED and re-raised — but left every
network it had already created alive. The next deploy attempt tripped
over the orphans with 'Pool overlaps with other one on this address
space' (IPAM conflict).
Track networks created in the current attempt; on exception, tear down
the started compose stack (if any), remove the networks in reverse
order, and delete the compose file before marking FAILED. Rollback
errors are logged but never mask the original failure.
Covered by a new regression test that drives a docker client which
succeeds once then raises, and asserts every created network is also
removed.
apply_attach_decky requires an existing decky, so the MazeNET editor
had no way to grow a live topology: creating a new decky on active
topologies 409'd on the direct-CRUD createDecky call.
- Backend: new apply_add_decky that creates the decky row + its
home-LAN edge atomically, auto-allocating an IP if none pinned.
Post-apply validation still runs. Added to DISPATCH + _MUTATION_OPS
Literal + CLI help text.
- Tests: 3 new ops tests (happy path, duplicate-name rejection,
missing-LAN rejection) plus dispatch coverage update.
- Frontend: useTopologyEditor gains addDeckyToLan() composite. Pending
routes through createDecky + attachEdge as before; active routes
through a single add_decky enqueue. MazeNET.tsx drag-archetype,
duplicate, DMZ-gateway, and ctx-menu add-decky paths all use the
composite so active topologies stop 409'ing on new-decky drops.
apply_update_decky only merged payload.patch into decky_config. Since
services is a separate DB column, there was no way to replace a decky's
services list via a mutation. Add a top-level services key to the op
payload that maps straight onto the services column.
Unblocks the MazeNET editor routing service-add/service-drop actions
through the mutation queue on active topologies.
Parser now tags ``mutator`` / ``decky_mutated`` lines with ``kind="mutation"``
so the engine can route them into a sibling ``_mutations`` index keyed
by decky name instead of the per-IP attacker index. ``traversals()``
joins the two streams: every attacker gets a ``mutations_during`` list
of markers from touched deckies bounded by their first/last-seen
window. ``AttackerTraversal.to_dict()`` grows a ``mutations_during``
field and a ``timeline`` that chronologically interleaves hops and
markers, so an ``SSH at T5 → mutation at T6 → HTTP at T7`` substrate
transition is visible to UI consumers instead of reading as a silent
discontinuity.
The existing hops-only JSON shape is preserved; old clients that
ignore unknown keys keep working.
Close the lifecycle loop for the correlation graph: every decky now
enters the substrate with an explicit `trigger=creation` event
(old_services=[] ⇒ new_services=<initial>) and leaves it with
`trigger=retirement` (old=<current> ⇒ new=[]). With scheduled/operator
mutations already flowing through emit_decky_mutated, the entire decky
lifecycle is now a well-formed sequence of mutation events — the
correlator can fold substrate_state(t) at any T by replaying them.
Lazy-imports mutator.events to dodge the engine↔mutator circular
dependency. Bus is None at CLI sites; the syslog write is what the
correlator consumes. Emission is soft-failing so a broken log path
never aborts a deploy.
Mutator now emits one decky_mutated event (RFC 5424 + bus) per
successful mutation instead of the inline decky.<id>.state bus
publish. The previous state topic published new_services only;
mutation events carry old/new/trigger, which is what the correlation
engine needs to interleave substrate-change markers into attacker
traversals.
- mutate_decky gains trigger: MutationTrigger = "operator" and
captures old_services before the shuffle; replaces the inline
_publish_safely(decky.<id>.state) with emit_decky_mutated(...).
- mutate_all derives trigger internally: operator when force or
only-filter is set (CLI --all, API mutate-now, UI bus request);
scheduled on interval ticks. Passed through to each mutate_decky
call.
- Tests updated: the old decky.<id>.state assertion is replaced
with decky.<id>.mutation topic + mutation payload shape; 3 new
tests cover trigger derivation for scheduled / force / only paths.
26 tests in test_mutator.py green; 116 across mutator + topology
+ bus.
First step toward making mutation events first-class nodes in the
correlation graph. Today the graph silently reflects post-mutation
state with no marker of the transition; this helper lands the
emitter the mutator and deploy paths will call.
- decnet/mutator/events.py: emit_decky_mutated(bus, *, decky,
old_services, new_services, trigger, actor=None, log_path=None)
writes an RFC 5424 line (service=mutator, hostname=<decky>,
MSGID=decky_mutated, SD params for old/new services + trigger +
optional actor) to DECNET_INGEST_LOG_FILE, then fire-and-forget
publishes on decky.<id>.mutation. Either side failing is soft —
the other path still completes.
- MutationTrigger Literal covers creation, retirement, scheduled,
operator, behavioral, healer, federation. Reserved values for v2/v3
(behavioral + federation) stay nullable so the schema is stable.
- decnet/bus/topics.py: DECKY_MUTATION constant + decky_mutation(id)
builder. Distinct from DECKY_STATE ("current shape") because a
mutation is a transition event, not a steady-state snapshot.
- Empty-set symmetry: creation emits old_services=[], retirement
emits new_services=[]. Every decky lifecycle becomes a well-formed
fold sequence on the correlator side.
- 4 new tests: FakeBus + correlator parser round-trip; creation and
retirement empty-set cases; bus=None still writes syslog;
unwritable log path doesn't block bus publish. 95 tests green
across test_mutator + tests/bus.
The flat-fleet mutator was DB-poll-only and noisy — it logged
"no active deployment found" every 10s on idle hosts and ran
mutate_all at a fixed tick regardless of when the next decky
was due.
- mutate_all returns seconds-until-next-due; watch loop sleeps
min(next_due, poll_interval_secs) with a 1s floor.
- "No deployment" is now idle, not an error: edge-triggered log
on present<->absent transition instead of every tick.
- mutate_decky publishes decky.<name>.state on successful compose
so UIs react in real time.
- New decky.*.mutate_request subscription lets API/CLI/UI force
an immediate mutation of a specific decky without waiting for
its interval; target name feeds mutate_all(only={...}).
- system.mutator.health heartbeat via run_health_heartbeat helper,
bringing the mutator in line with DEBT-031 workers.
Tests: next_due return, only= filter, decky.<name>.state publish
on success, no publish on compose failure. Full mutator+topology-
mutator+bus suite (109) green.
All three workers now share a run_health_heartbeat helper in
decnet.bus.publish. Each publishes system.<worker>.health on a 30s tick
with {worker, ts} plus optional per-worker extras. Subscribers can
watch system.*.health to see every DECNET worker on a host at once.
- agent: heartbeat runs inside the FastAPI lifespan alongside the
existing master-facing heartbeat; bus-disabled path is a no-op.
- forwarder: heartbeat task spawned at run_forwarder entry, cancelled
in the finally block so a crashed master loop never leaks the task.
- updater: new FastAPI lifespan hosts the heartbeat.
Heartbeat helper swallows extra() failures and is cancellation-safe so
lifespan teardown never hangs on it.
Ingester connects the bus at startup, emits a batch-committed summary
(component/flushed/position) after each successful _flush_batch. Zero-
row flushes are suppressed so the topic stays meaningful.
Complements the collector's per-line system.log publishes: collector
signals ingress, ingester signals DB-persisted progress. Federation
forwarder (worker 8) will subscribe to the batch-committed leaf to
trigger its upstream push.
Bus stays optional: publish_safely swallows failures, get_bus() can
return None, DECNET_BUS_ENABLED=false leaves the ingestion loop fully
functional.
log_collector_worker connects the bus at startup, builds a thread-safe
system.log publisher, and hands it to each container-stream thread
through _stream_container's new publish_fn parameter. Publishing fires
right after the JSON record is written — same rate-limiter path, no
extra parsing, compact payload (decky/service/event_type/attacker_ip/
timestamp) so subscribers can redraw without re-reading the DB.
Bus stays optional: if get_bus() fails or DECNET_BUS_ENABLED=false the
factory returns a no-op publisher and the stream thread calls it
unconditionally. Hook failures are logged and never abort the thread.
The profiler worker threads its bus publisher through _WorkerState so
_update_profiles can emit a compact attacker.scored event for every
upsert. Payload carries the headline counts (event/service/decky/
bounty/credential) plus is_traversal, so the MazeNET attacker pool can
redraw without a round-trip.
Bus stays optional: publish_attacker=None when DECNET_BUS_ENABLED=false
or get_bus() fails, and hook exceptions are logged without breaking the
upsert path.
CorrelationEngine gains an optional publish_fn hook fired once per unique
attacker IP. The profiler worker — sole caller of the engine today —
carries the bus physically, builds a thread-safe publisher, and wraps it
with the attacker.observed topic before handing it in.
Bus stays optional: if get_bus() fails or DECNET_BUS_ENABLED=false, the
engine runs publish_fn=None and the worker degrades to DB-only. Hook
failures log a warning and never break ingestion.
Each successful JARM / HASSH / TCPfp probe fans out an
attacker.fingerprinted event; the probe family goes in event.type so a
single subscription covers all three. Payload carries the attacker IP,
port, and probe-specific hash — enough for the MazeNET live map to
render fingerprint info on observed attackers.
Lifts the thread-safe publisher helper out of the sniffer worker into
decnet/bus/publish.py so the prober (and every future worker with a
to_thread hot path) can reuse it without copy-pasting the
run_coroutine_threadsafe dance. Sniffer rewires onto the shared helper
in passing.
Adds ATTACKER_FINGERPRINTED as a new leaf — distinct from
ATTACKER_OBSERVED (correlator's first-sight signal) because an active
probe result is additional evidence about an already-observed attacker.
Note: the plan's decky.{id}.state realism-probe publish path is
deferred — the current prober fingerprints attackers, not decky
realism. Will revisit when realism probes exist.
SnifferEngine gains an optional publish_fn hook, invoked after the
dedup + syslog write for traffic-summary events only (tls_session,
tcp_flow_timing, tcp_syn_fingerprint) — intermediate parser artifacts
like tls_client_hello stay off the bus.
The sniffer worker wires get_bus() + a thread-safe shim that marshals
sync calls from the scapy sniff thread back onto the asyncio loop via
run_coroutine_threadsafe. Bus failure at startup degrades cleanly to
publish-off mode; publish failures at runtime never escape the sniff
thread.
Shared publish_safely helper at decnet/bus/publish.py so the nine
workers about to be wired into the bus don't each copy-paste the
"never raise back at the caller" contract. Mutator drops its private
copy and imports the canonical one.
topics.py gains the attacker.* hierarchy (observed, scored,
session.started, session.ended) and a system_health(worker) builder
for per-worker health heartbeats — both prerequisites for the worker
rollout under DEBT-031.
Wire the mutator and web API into the service bus so live-topology
edits flow sub-second from enqueue to UI:
- Mutator publishes every state transition on the bus (mutation.applying
/applied/failed + topology.status). Fire-and-forget; DB stays source
of truth.
- Mutator watch loop subscribes to topology.*.mutation.enqueued and
wakes early via asyncio.Event — the 10s poll becomes a fallback
heartbeat, not the primary dispatch trigger.
- POST /topologies/{id}/mutations publishes mutation.enqueued after
the DB write succeeds.
- New GET /topologies/{id}/events SSE route: snapshot on connect
(status + in-flight mutations), live forwards topology.{id}.>
bus events, 15s keepalive. ?token= auth mirrors /stream.
- New decnet/bus/app.py — process-wide lazy bus singleton for the
API, closed cleanly on lifespan shutdown.
