into testing with --no-ff for clear merge history
- Move open-pr job to trigger on testing branch instead of dev
- PR now opens testing → main instead of dev → main
- Add bandit and pip-audit jobs to pr.yml PR gate for full suite coverage
- PR gate test job now installs dev dependencies consistently
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
MongoDB had the same infinite-loop bug as MSSQL (msg_len=0 → buffer never
shrinks in while loop). Postgres, MySQL, and MQTT had related length-field
issues (stuck state, resource exhaustion, overlong remaining-length).
Also fixes an existing MongoDB _op_reply struct.pack format bug (extra 'q'
specifier caused struct.error on any OP_QUERY response).
Adds 53 regression + protocol boundary tests across MSSQL, MongoDB,
Postgres, MySQL, and MQTT, including a _run_with_timeout threading harness
to catch infinite loops and @pytest.mark.fuzz hypothesis tests for each.
Cowrie was exposing an SSH daemon on port 22 alongside the telnet service
even when COWRIE_SSH_ENABLED=false, contaminating deployments that did not
request an SSH service.
New implementation mirrors the SSH service pattern:
- busybox telnetd in foreground mode on port 23
- /bin/login for real PAM authentication (brute-force attempts logged)
- rsyslog RFC 5424 bridge piped to stdout for Docker log capture
- Configurable root password and hostname via env vars
- No Cowrie dependency
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
The collector subprocess was spawned via 'python3 -m decnet.cli collect'
but cli.py had no 'if __name__ == __main__: app()' guard. Python executed
the module, defined all functions, then exited cleanly with code 0 without
ever calling the collect command. No output, no log file, exit 0 — silent
non-start every time.
Also route collector stderr to <log_file>.collector.log so future crashes
are visible instead of disappearing into DEVNULL.
Collector and mutator watcher subprocesses were spawned without
start_new_session=True, leaving them in the parent's process group.
SIGHUP (sent when the controlling terminal closes) killed both
processes silently — stdout/stderr were DEVNULL so the crash was
invisible.
Also update test_services and test_composer to reflect the ssh plugin
no longer using Cowrie env vars (replaced with SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD /
SSH_HOSTNAME matching the real_ssh plugin).
Scraps the Cowrie emulation layer. The real_ssh template now runs a
genuine sshd backed by a three-layer logging stack forwarded to stdout
as RFC 5424 for the DECNET collector:
auth,authpriv.* → rsyslogd → named pipe → stdout (logins/failures)
user.* → rsyslogd → named pipe → stdout (PROMPT_COMMAND cmds)
sudo syslog=auth → rsyslogd → named pipe → stdout (privilege escalation)
sudo logfile → /var/log/sudo.log (local backup with I/O)
The ssh.py service plugin now points to templates/real_ssh and drops all
COWRIE_* / NODE_NAME env vars, sharing the same compose fragment shape as
real_ssh.py.
_load_service_container_names() reads decnet-state.json and builds the
exact set of expected container names ({decky}-{service}). is_service_container()
and is_service_event() do a direct set lookup — no regex, no label
inspection, no heuristics.
Two bugs caused the log file to never be written:
1. is_service_container() used regex '^decky-\d+-\w' which only matched
the old decky-01-smtp naming style. Actual containers are named
omega-decky-smtp, relay-decky-smtp, etc. Fixed by using Docker Compose
labels instead: com.docker.compose.project=decnet + non-empty
depends_on discriminates service containers from base (sleep infinity)
containers reliably regardless of decky naming convention.
Added is_service_event() for the Docker events path.
2. The collector was only started when --api was used. Added a 'collect'
CLI subcommand (decnet collect --log-file <path>) and wired it into
deploy as an auto-started background process when --api is not in use.
Default log path: /var/log/decnet/decnet.log
When --parallel is set:
- DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 is injected into the subprocess environment to
ensure BuildKit is active regardless of host daemon config
- docker compose build runs first (all images built concurrently)
- docker compose up -d follows without --build (no redundant checks)
Without --parallel the original up --build path is preserved.
--parallel and --no-cache compose correctly (build --no-cache).
Conpot is a third-party app with its own Python logger — it never calls
decnet_logging. Added entrypoint.py as a subprocess wrapper that:
- Launches conpot and captures its stdout/stderr
- Classifies each line (startup/request/warning/error/log)
- Extracts source IPs via regex
- Emits RFC 5424 syslog lines to stdout for Docker/collector pickup
Entrypoint is self-contained (no import of shared decnet_logging.py)
because the conpot base image runs Python 3.6, which cannot parse the
dict[str, Any] / str | None type syntax used in the canonical file.
The BASE_IMAGE build arg was being unconditionally overwritten by
composer.py with the decky's distro build_base (debian:bookworm-slim),
turning the conpot container into a bare Debian image with no conpot
installation — hence the silent restart loop.
Two fixes:
1. composer.py: use args.setdefault() so services that pre-declare
BASE_IMAGE in their compose_fragment() win over the distro default.
2. conpot.py: pre-declare BASE_IMAGE=honeynet/conpot:latest in build
args so it always uses the upstream image regardless of decky distro.
Also removed the USER decnet switch from the conpot Dockerfile. The
upstream image already runs as the non-root 'conpot' user; switching to
'decnet' broke pkg_resources because conpot's eggs live under
/home/conpot/.local and are only on sys.path for that user.
Windows: both 0 (no ICMP rate limiting — matches real Windows behavior)
Linux: 1000ms / mask 6168 (kernel defaults)
BSD: 250ms / mask 6168 (FreeBSD default is faster than Linux)
Embedded/Cisco: both 0 (most firmware doesn't rate-limit ICMP)
These affect nmap's IE and U1 probe groups which measure ICMP error
response timing to closed UDP ports. Windows responds to all probes
instantly while Linux throttles to ~1/sec.
Tests: 10 new cases (5 per sysctl). Suite: 822 passed.
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.
ip_no_pmtu_disc controls PMTU discovery for UDP/ICMP paths only.
TI=Z originates from ip_select_ident() in the kernel TCP stack setting
IP ID=0 for DF=1 TCP packets — a namespace-scoped sysctl cannot change this.
The previous commit was based on incorrect root-cause analysis.
When ip_no_pmtu_disc=0 the Linux kernel sets DF=1 on TCP packets and uses
IP ID=0 (RFC 6864). nmap's TI=Z fingerprint has no Windows match in its DB,
causing 91% confidence guesses of 'Linux 2.4/2.6 embedded' regardless of
TTL being 128. Setting ip_no_pmtu_disc=1 allows non-zero IP ID generation.
Trade-off: DF bit is not set on outgoing packets (slightly wrong for Windows)
but TI=Z is far more damaging to the spoof than losing DF accuracy.
The entrypoint.sh was present in the build context but never COPYed into
the image, causing 'stat /entrypoint.sh: no such file or directory' at
container start. Added COPY+chmod before the USER decnet instruction so
the script is installed as root and is executable by all users.
Add tcp_timestamps, tcp_window_scaling, tcp_sack, tcp_ecn, ip_no_pmtu_disc,
and tcp_fin_timeout to every OS profile in OS_SYSCTLS.
All 6 are network-namespace-scoped and safe to set per-container without
--privileged. They directly influence nmap's OPS, WIN, ECN, and T2-T6
probe groups, making OS family detection significantly more convincing.
Key changes:
- tcp_timestamps=0 for windows/embedded/cisco (strongest Windows discriminator)
- tcp_ecn=2 for linux (ECN offer), 0 for all others
- tcp_sack=0 / tcp_window_scaling=0 for embedded/cisco
- ip_no_pmtu_disc=1 for embedded/cisco (DF bit ICMP behaviour)
- Expose _REQUIRED_SYSCTLS frozenset for completeness assertions
Tests: 88 new test cases across all OS families and composer integration.
Total suite: 812 passed.

- decnet/services/smtp_relay.py: open relay variant of smtp, same template
with SMTP_OPEN_RELAY=1 baked into the environment
- tests/service_testing/__init__.py: init so pytest discovers the subdirectory
- 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

(live-tested service realism plans)
- 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 B105 to fake SASL placeholder in ldap
- Add # nosec B108 to /tmp usage in smb template

via pyproject.toml [tool.bandit] config (synced by _sync_logging_helper at deploy)
Services now print RFC 5424 to stdout; Docker captures via json-file driver.
A new host-side collector (decnet.web.collector) streams docker logs from all
running decky service containers and writes RFC 5424 + parsed JSON to the host
log file. The existing ingester continues to tail the .json file unchanged.
rsyslog can consume the .log file independently — no DECNET involvement needed.
Removes: bind-mount volume injection, _LOG_NETWORK bridge, log_target config
field and --log-target CLI flag, TCP syslog forwarding from service templates.
- 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

http://localhost:8080) replacing the previous allow_origins=["*"]
- decnet/web/api.py: use DECNET_CORS_ORIGINS and tighten allow_methods
and allow_headers to explicit lists
- tests/conftest.py: set required env vars at module level so test
collection works without real credentials
- tests/test_web_api.py, test_web_api_fuzz.py: use DECNET_ADMIN_PASSWORD
from env instead of hardcoded "admin"
