# 🔒 SHHH Hypercore Log Monitor - Implementation Plan ## Executive Summary This plan outlines the creation of a Python application that monitors our hypercore log to ensure no secrets are leaked in BZZZ messages, based on the SHHH module's secrets detection framework. ## Project Overview ### Objective Create a real-time monitoring system that: - Monitors hypercore log entries for secret patterns - Detects potential secrets in BZZZ P2P messages before they propagate - Quarantines suspicious entries and triggers automatic remediation - Provides audit trails and security dashboard for compliance ### Architecture Integration - **Hypercore Log**: Source of truth for all CHORUS Services events - **BZZZ Network**: P2P messaging layer that could inadvertently transmit secrets - **SHHH Module**: Existing secrets detection framework and patterns - **Monitoring App**: New Python application bridging these systems ## Technical Requirements ### 1. Hypercore Log Integration ```python # Real-time log monitoring - Stream hypercore entries as they're written - Parse BZZZ message payloads for secret patterns - Filter for message types that could contain secrets - Handle log rotation and recovery scenarios ``` ### 2. Secret Detection Engine Based on SHHH's `patterns.yaml` framework: ```yaml patterns: AWS_ACCESS_KEY: regex: "AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}" severity: "HIGH" confidence: 0.95 active: true GITHUB_TOKEN: regex: "ghp_[0-9A-Za-z]{36}" severity: "HIGH" confidence: 0.92 active: true PRIVATE_KEY: regex: "-----BEGIN [A-Z ]*PRIVATE KEY-----" severity: "CRITICAL" confidence: 0.98 active: true ``` ### 3. Quarantine & Response System - **Immediate**: Block message propagation in BZZZ network - **Log**: Store quarantined entries in PostgreSQL - **Alert**: Notify security team via webhooks - **Revoke**: Trigger automatic secret revocation APIs ## Implementation Architecture ### Phase 1: Core Monitoring System (Weeks 1-2) #### 1.1 Hypercore Log Reader ```python # /shhh-monitor/core/hypercore_reader.py class HypercoreReader: def __init__(self, log_path: str): self.log_path = log_path self.position = 0 def stream_entries(self) -> Iterator[LogEntry]: """Stream new hypercore entries in real-time""" # Tail-like functionality with inotify # Parse hypercore binary format # Yield structured LogEntry objects def parse_bzzz_message(self, entry: LogEntry) -> Optional[BzzzMessage]: """Extract BZZZ message payload from hypercore entry""" # Decode BZZZ message format # Extract message content and metadata # Return structured message or None ``` #### 1.2 Secret Detection Engine ```python # /shhh-monitor/core/detector.py class SecretDetector: def __init__(self, patterns_file: str = "patterns.yaml"): self.patterns = self.load_patterns(patterns_file) def scan_message(self, message: BzzzMessage) -> List[SecretMatch]: """Scan BZZZ message for secret patterns""" matches = [] for pattern_name, pattern in self.patterns.items(): if pattern["active"]: matches.extend(self.apply_regex(message, pattern)) return matches def redact_secret(self, text: str, match: SecretMatch) -> str: """Redact detected secret while preserving context""" #

Insert into quarantine table # Generate alert payload # Trigger BZZZ network block def send_alert(self, severity: str, secret_type: str, redacted_content: str): """Send webhook alerts for detected secrets""" # POST to security webhook endpoints # Different payloads for AWS, GitHub, Slack tokens # Include revocation recommendations ``` ### Phase 2: BZZZ Network Integration (Weeks 3-4) #### 2.1 BZZZ Message Interceptor ```python # /shhh-monitor/integrations/bzzz_interceptor.py class BzzzInterceptor: def __init__(self, bzzz_config: Dict): self.bzzz_client = BzzzClient(bzzz_config) def install_message_hook(self): """Install pre-send hook in BZZZ network layer""" # Intercept messages before P2P transmission # Scan with SecretDetector # Block or allow message propagation def block_message(self, message_id: str, reason: str): """Prevent message from propagating in P2P network""" # Mark message as blocked in BZZZ # Log blocking reason # Notify sender agent of security violation ``` #### 2.2 Real-time Processing Pipeline ```python # /shhh-monitor/pipeline/processor.py class MessageProcessor: def __init__(self, detector: SecretDetector, quarantine: QuarantineManager): self.detector = detector self.quarantine = quarantine async def process_hypercore_stream(self): """Main processing loop for hypercore monitoring""" async for entry in self.hypercore_reader.stream_entries(): if bzzz_message := self.parse_bzzz_message(entry): matches = self.detector.scan_message(bzzz_message) if matches: await self.handle_secret_detection(bzzz_message, matches) async def handle_secret_detection(self, message: BzzzMessage, matches: List[SecretMatch]): """Handle detected secrets with appropriate response""" # Determine severity level # Quarantine message # Send alerts # Trigger revocation if needed # Update detection statistics ``` ### Phase 3: Admin Dashboard & Feedback Loop (Weeks 5-6) #### 3.1 FastAPI Backend ```python # /shhh-monitor/api/main.py from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends from .models import QuarantineEntry, SecretPattern, RevocationEvent app = FastAPI(title="SHHH Hypercore Monitor API") @app.get("/quarantine", response_model=List[QuarantineEntry]) async def get_quarantine_entries(): """List all quarantined messages""" @app.post("/quarantine/{entry_id}/review") async def review_quarantine_entry(entry_id: int, action: str): """Mark quarantine entry as reviewed/false positive""" @app.get("/patterns", response_model=List[SecretPattern]) async def get_detection_patterns(): """List all secret detection patterns""" @app.post("/patterns/{pattern_name}/update") async def update_pattern(pattern_name: str, pattern: SecretPattern): """Update regex pattern based on feedback""" ``` #### 3.2 React Dashboard Frontend ```typescript // /shhh-monitor/dashboard/src/components/QuarantineDashboard.tsx interface QuarantineDashboard { // Real-time quarantine feed // Pattern management interface // Revocation status tracking // Security metrics and charts // Alert configuration } ``` ### Phase 4: Automated Response & Learning (Weeks 7-8) #### 4.1 Automated Secret Revocation ```python # /shhh-monitor/automation/revocation.py class SecretRevoker: def __init__(self): self.aws_client = boto3.client('iam') self.github_client = github.Github() self.slack_client = slack.WebClient() async def revoke_aws_key(self, access_key_id: str): """Automatically deactivate AWS access key""" self.aws_client.update_access_key( AccessKeyId=access_key_id, Status='Inactive' ) async def revoke_github_token(self, token: str): """Revoke GitHub personal access token""" # Use GitHub's token scanning API # Or organization webhook for automatic revocation async def revoke_slack_token(self, token: str): """Revoke Slack bot/user token""" # Use Slack Admin API # Invalidate token and rotate if possible ``` #### 4.2 Meta-Learning System ```python # /shhh-monitor/learning/meta_curator.py class MetaCurator: def __init__(self, llm_client): self.llm = llm_client async def analyze_false_positives(self, entries: List[QuarantineEntry]): """Use LLM to improve regex patterns""" # Analyze patterns in false positives # Generate regex refinements # Submit for human approval async def detect_new_secret_types(self, quarantine_history: List[QuarantineEntry]): """Identify new types of secrets to detect""" # Look for patterns in undetected secrets # Generate new regex proposals # Calculate confidence scores ``` ## Database Schema ### Core Tables ```sql -- Quarantined messages CREATE TABLE quarantine ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL, hypercore_position BIGINT NOT NULL, bzzz_message_id TEXT NOT NULL, secret_type TEXT NOT NULL, severity TEXT CHECK (severity IN ('LOW', 'MEDIUM', 'HIGH', 'CRITICAL')), confidence NUMERIC(3,2), redacted_content TEXT NOT NULL, full_content_hash TEXT NOT NULL, -- For audit purposes reviewed BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE, review_action TEXT, -- 'false_positive', 'confirmed', 'uncertain' reviewer TEXT, review_timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ ); -- Pattern history and evolution CREATE TABLE patterns_history ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, pattern_name TEXT NOT NULL, old_regex TEXT, new_regex TEXT, action TEXT CHECK (action IN ('add', 'update', 'remove')), confidence NUMERIC(3,2), status TEXT CHECK (status IN ('approved', 'pending', 'rejected')), submitted_by TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'human', 'meta_curator', 'feedback_system' approved_by TEXT, decision_reason TEXT, timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); -- Revocation events tracking CREATE TABLE revocations ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, quarantine_id INTEGER REFERENCES quarantine(id), secret_type TEXT NOT NULL, revocation_method TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'aws_api', 'github_api', 'manual' status TEXT CHECK (status IN ('success', 'failed', 'pending')), response_data JSONB, -- API response details timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); -- Performance metrics CREATE TABLE detection_metrics ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, date DATE NOT NULL, total_messages_scanned INTEGER, secrets_detected INTEGER, false_positives INTEGER, patterns_updated INTEGER, avg_detection_latency_ms INTEGER ); ``` ## Security Considerations ### 1. Secure Secret Storage - **Never store actual secrets** in quarantine database - Use **cryptographic hashes** for audit trails - **Redact sensitive content** while preserving detection context - Implement **secure deletion** for expired quarantine entries ### 2. Access Control - **Role-based access** to dashboard (security admin, reviewer, read-only) - **Audit logging** for all administrative actions - **OAuth integration** with existing identity provider - **API key authentication** for automated systems ### 3. Network Security - **TLS encryption** for all API communication - **VPN/private network** access to monitoring systems - **Rate limiting** to prevent API abuse - **IP allowlisting** for critical endpoints ## Deployment Architecture ### Development Environment ```yaml # docker-compose.dev.yml services: shhh-monitor: build: . environment: - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://dev:dev@postgres:5432/shhh_dev - HYPERCORE_LOG_PATH=/data/hypercore.log - BZZZ_CONFIG_PATH=/config/bzzz.yaml volumes: - ./data:/data - ./config:/config postgres: image: postgres:15 environment: POSTGRES_DB: shhh_dev POSTGRES_USER: dev POSTGRES_PASSWORD: dev redis: image: redis:7-alpine # For caching and real-time notifications ``` ### Production Deployment ```yaml # docker-compose.prod.yml services: shhh-monitor: image: registry.home.deepblack.cloud/tony/shhh-monitor:latest deploy: replicas: 2 placement: constraints: -
