 # Contributing
 ## What's Welcome
 - Bug fixes with a clear reproduction case
 - New passive capture modules (stick to the module pattern in `modules/passive/`)
 - Hardware support for additional SBCs
 - Documentation improvements
 ## What's Not Welcome
 - Active modules that target specific commercial services (keep it protocol-level)
 - Features that reduce OPSEC (fingerprints, banners, hardcoded strings)
 - Breaking changes to the state machine API without a migration path
 ## Module Pattern
 New modules implement the `BaseModule` interface:
 ```python
 class MyModule(BaseModule):
    name = "my_module"
    tier = "passive"          # or "active"
    requires = ["root"]       # capabilities needed
    def start(self): ...
    def stop(self): ...
    def status(self) -> dict: ...
 ```
 Modules must not block the main event loop. Use threads or asyncio internally.
 ## Testing
 ```bash
 python3 -m pytest tests/
 ```
 Tests that require root or live network access are marked `@pytest.mark.requires_root` and skipped in CI. Write unit tests for logic that doesn't need hardware.
 ## Submitting Changes
 1. Fork the repo
 2. Branch from `main`
 3. Write a test if the change has logic worth testing
 4. Open a PR with a description of what changed and why

 # BigBrother Condo Daemon: Implementation Plan
 ## Status Summary
 The BigBrother daemon has been running since March 25 but is completely non-functional. All modules fail silently. Root cause: 5 cascading issues blocking module startup.
 ## DevTrack Items Created
 - #187: Issue 1 — Auto-detect active network interface
 - #188: Issue 2 — Instantiate CaptureBus in Engine
 - #189: Issue 3 — Seed database tables
 - #190: Issue 4 — Track module startup state
 - #191: Issue 5 — Diagnose LUKS encrypted storage
 ---
 ## Issue Analysis & Fix Strategy
 ### Issue 1: Wrong Network Interface (CRITICAL - Hard Blocker)
 **Current State:**
 - `CaptureBus.__init__` defaults to `"eth0"`
 - `PacketCapture.DEFAULT_INTERFACE` = `"eth0"`
 - `bigbrother.yaml` has `primary_interface: "auto"` but auto-detection doesn't propagate
 - Condo Pi is on `wlan0` (10.0.0.0/24). `eth0` has no carrier → capture fails
 **Root Cause:**
 - No active interface detection function exists
 - Hardcoded defaults override config values
 - Config "auto" value is never resolved
 **Files to Change:**
 - `core/capture_bus.py` — Remove hardcoded "eth0", accept interface param in __init__
 - `modules/passive/packet_capture.py` — Remove DEFAULT_INTERFACE, read from config
 - `core/engine.py` — Add `detect_active_interface()` call
 - `bigbrother.py` — Resolve "auto" before passing to Engine
 **Parallel Capability:** Independent before Issue 2.
 ---
 ### Issue 2: CaptureBus Never Instantiated (CRITICAL - Hard Blocker)
 **Current State:**
 - `core/capture_bus.py` exists and is well-implemented
 - `core/engine.py` has NO code to instantiate CaptureBus or inject into module configs
 - 15+ passive modules call `self.config.get("capture_bus")` → all get None → bail
 **Affected Modules:**
 - dns_logger, host_discovery, credential_sniffer, traffic_analyzer, tls_sni_extractor, os_fingerprint, quic_analyzer, rdp_monitor, smb_monitor, ldap_harvester, kerberos_harvester, vlan_discovery, network_mapper, cloud_token_harvester, auth_flow_tracker
 **Files to Change:**
 - `modules/base.py` — Add `requires_capture_bus = False` class attribute
 - `modules/passive/*.py` (15 files) — Set `requires_capture_bus = True`
 - `core/engine.py` — Instantiate CaptureBus, start it, inject into module configs
 - `bigbrother.py` — Document dependency
 **Parallel Capability:** Depends on Issue 1. Module prep work (flags) can run in parallel.
 ---
 ### Issue 3: Database Tables Not Seeded (CRITICAL - Blocking 2 modules)
 **Current State:**
 - `ja3_spoofer` reads from `ja3_profiles` table → doesn't exist → crashes
 - `mac_manager` reads from `mac_profiles` table → doesn't exist → crashes
 - `scripts/build_data.py` doesn't seed these tables
 **Files to Change:**
 - `scripts/build_data.py` — Add `create_ja3_profiles_db()` + `create_mac_profiles_db()`
 - `setup.sh` — Ensure new functions are called
 **Parallel Capability:** Independent. Can run in parallel with Issues 1+2.
 ---
 ### Issue 4: Module Status Never Written (BLOCKING Status Checks)
 **Current State:**
 - Modules crash before calling `state.set_module_status("running")`
 - Engine returns True (process created, not "running") before module actually initializes
 - `status` command shows "No modules registered"
 **Files to Change:**
 - `core/state.py` — Ensure states: pending, starting, running, failed, stopped
 - `core/engine.py:start()` — Write pending/starting states, catch initialization failures
 - `core/engine.py` — Add health check loop to detect process death
 **Parallel Capability:** Depends on Issues 1+2. Can implement state machine separately.
 ---
 ### Issue 5: LUKS Encrypted Storage Module (Lower Priority)
 **Current State:**
 - `encrypted_storage` module fails to create LUKS container
 - Requires sudo access to condo Pi to diagnose
 - Storage directory is root-owned, inaccessible without sudo
 **Action:**
 - Postpone until Issues 1-4 are fixed and deployed
 - Then SSH to condo with sudo and investigate
 **Parallel Capability:** Blocked by sudo access requirement.
 ---
 ## Implementation Sequence
 ### Phase 1 — Module Prep (Parallel, independent streams)
 **Stream A: Interface Detection**
 - Create `utils/network.py` with `detect_active_interface()`
 - Commit
 **Stream B: Module Flags**
 - Add `requires_capture_bus = True` to 15 passive modules
 - Add `modules/base.py` class attribute
 - Commit
 **Stream C: Database Seeding**
 - Update `scripts/build_data.py` with JA3 + MAC table seeding
 - Update `setup.sh` to call both
 - Commit
 **Convergence:** All three streams complete independently, zero merge conflicts.
 ---
 ### Phase 2 — Engine Core Changes (Sequential)
 **Step 1: Engine initialization**
 - Add interface detection call in Engine.__init__
 - Resolve config["network"]["primary_interface"] from "auto" to actual interface
 - Commit
 **Step 2: CaptureBus instantiation & injection**
 - Instantiate CaptureBus(interface=resolved_iface) in Engine.__init__
 - Inject into configs of modules with requires_capture_bus=True
 - Commit
 **Step 3: Graceful lifecycle**
 - Call capture_bus.start() before start_all()
 - Call capture_bus.stop() in stop_all()
 - Commit
 **Step 4: Module startup state tracking**
 - Write "pending" before proc.start()
 - Write "starting" after proc.start()
 - Catch exceptions and write "failed"
 - Add health check loop
 - Commit
 ---
 ### Phase 3 — Testing & Deployment
 - Run pytest suite
 - Deploy to condo with setup.sh
 - SSH to condo: verify `bigbrother status` shows all modules "running"
 - Spot-check: verify dns_logger capturing DNS
 - Mark DevTrack items for user approval
 ---
 ## Conflict Risk Assessment
 | Issue | Parallel | Risk | Reason |
 |-------|----------|------|--------|
 | 1+2 | No | HIGH | Engine init depends on interface detection |
 | 1+3 | Yes | LOW | Independent file changes |
 | 1+4 | No | HIGH | Status tracking needs working modules (Issue 2 first) |
 | 2+3 | Yes | LOW | Independent subsystems |
 | 2+4 | No | MEDIUM | Both touch engine.py, but different sections |
 | 3+4 | Yes | LOW | Database seeding independent of engine state |
 ---
 ## File Inventory
 ### NEW FILES
 - `utils/network.py` — Interface detection utilities
 ### MODIFIED FILES (Core)
 - `core/engine.py` — Interface detection, CaptureBus instantiation, state tracking
 - `core/capture_bus.py` — Accept interface param (minimal change)
 - `core/state.py` — Ensure state enum (minimal change)
 - `bigbrother.py` — Config resolution (minimal change)
 - `modules/base.py` — Add class attributes (minimal change)
 ### MODIFIED FILES (Module Flags)
 - 15 × `modules/passive/*.py` — Add `requires_capture_bus = True` (1-line each)
 - `modules/active/ja3_spoofer.py` — Flag (minimal)
 - `modules/active/mac_manager.py` — Flag (minimal)
 ### MODIFIED FILES (Data Seeding)
 - `scripts/build_data.py` — Add JA3 + MAC seeding functions
 - `setup.sh` — Ensure new functions called
 ---
 ## Total Scope
 - ~30 file edits (most are 1-line flag additions)
 - 3 new functions
 - 1 new file
 - ~200 lines of logic in engine.py
 - ~50 lines in build_data.py
 - Zero new dependencies
 ---
 ## Success Criteria
 1. `bigbrother status` shows all 15+ passive modules as "running"
 2. `dns_logger` is capturing and logging DNS queries
 3. No "requires capture_bus" errors in logs
 4. No database table errors from ja3_spoofer or mac_manager
 5. Graceful stop_all() terminates all modules and CaptureBus cleanly

 # BigBrother
 Network drop implant for silent, autonomous network surveillance. Deploy on any Debian host and get passive SOC-level visibility plus active exploitation capability over a C2 tunnel.
 > **Legal notice:** This tool is for authorized penetration testing, red team engagements, and security research on networks you own or have written permission to test. Unauthorized use is illegal and unethical. You are responsible for your actions.
 ## What It Does
 BigBrother turns a cheap SBC or any Debian host into a persistent network implant with two operational modes:
 **Passive (always on)**
 - DNS query logging and exfiltration
 - TLS SNI fingerprinting (JA3/JA3S)
 - Credential sniffing (HTTP Basic, FTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP)
 - Kerberos ticket harvesting
 - Host discovery and device fingerprinting
 - Device presence tripwire (Matrix alerts on arrival/departure)
 **Active (operator-triggered)**
 - ARP spoofing and poisoning
 - DNS/DHCP spoofing
 - Responder (LLMNR/NBT-NS/MDNS poisoning)
 - mitmproxy HTTPS interception
 - ntlmrelayx (NTLM credential relay)
 - Bettercap MITM orchestration
 **Stealth layer**
 - LKM rootkit (process/file/network hiding)
 - Process disguise and anti-forensics
 - JA3 fingerprint randomization
 - Kill switch
 **C2 connectivity**
 - WireGuard, Tailscale, or reverse SSH tunnel
 ## Hardware
 | Board | Capability |
 |-------|-----------|
 | Orange Pi Zero 3 (1GB+) | Full passive + active + stealth |
 | Raspberry Pi 4 | Full passive + active + stealth |
 | Raspberry Pi 3B | Full passive, limited active |
 | Raspberry Pi Zero 2W | Passive only |
 | Any Debian host | Full capability |
 Minimum: 512MB RAM, one network interface, Debian 11+.
 ## Quick Start
 1. Clone to the drop host or a staging machine:
   ```bash
   git clone <repo-url> bigbrother
   cd bigbrother
   ```
 2. Install dependencies and configure the implant:
   ```bash
   sudo bash operator_setup.sh
   ```
 3. Deploy to a remote target:
   ```bash
   bash scripts/deploy.sh root@<target-host>
   ```
 4. Start the core state machine:
   ```bash
   sudo python3 bigbrother_core.py
   ```
 See `docs/deployment.md` for full setup, interface configuration, and C2 connectivity.
 ## Configuration
 All config lives in `config/`. Key files:
 - `config/bigbrother.yaml` — core settings, module toggles, C2 parameters
 - `config/hardware_tiers.yaml` — per-platform capability profiles
 - `.env` — secrets and runtime overrides (never commit this)
 ## Architecture
 ```
 bigbrother_core.py          # Autonomous state machine + orchestrator
 modules/
  passive/                  # DNS, TLS, credentials, Kerberos, hosts
  active/                   # bettercap, ARP, DNS/DHCP spoof, Responder, ntlmrelayx
  stealth/                  # LKM rootkit, process hide, anti-forensics
  connectivity/             # WireGuard, Tailscale, reverse tunnel
  analysis/                 # Local alert correlation
 net_alerter/                # Device presence daemon (standalone)
 presence/                   # Person presence tracking (multi-signal)
 utils/                      # Shared: crypto, logging, permissions, stealth
 config/                     # YAML configs and hardware profiles
 scripts/                    # Deploy and setup helpers
 ```
 ## Credential Encryption
 Captured credentials are encrypted before local storage and C2 transmission. Requires an Infisical-compatible secrets manager with a `CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY` secret:
 ```bash
 export BB_CREDS_BIN=/path/to/your/creds-cli
 ```
 The `creds` CLI must support: `creds get CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY`
 If `BB_CREDS_BIN` is not set, credentials are stored in plaintext with a warning.
 ## Net Alerter
 Standalone Matrix alert daemon for device presence monitoring. See `net_alerter/README.md`.
 Requires a Matrix homeserver and access token:
 ```bash
 MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://your-homeserver.example.com
 MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=syt_...
 MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!your-room-id:your-homeserver.example.com
 ```

 # Env Validation — BigBrother Public Release
 ## FAIL
 1. **[operator_setup.sh:707-712] Webhook and Matrix tokens written to `/root/bb-config.env` on SD card**
   - PRIORITY: P1 (Secret in deployed artifact)
   - Issue: Matrix tokens (`BB_ALERTER_MATRIX_TOKEN`), webhook URLs (`BB_ALERTER_WEBHOOK`), and Tailscale auth keys are written to `/root/bb-config.env` on the flashed SD card in plaintext
   - Risk: Anyone with physical or filesystem access to the device can extract active alerter credentials
   - Fix: Store these secrets in Infisical on the target device only. At deployment time, the first-boot script should retrieve them from Infisical CLI rather than from bb-config.env
 2. **[setup.sh:266-271] .env file created with plaintext Matrix credentials at `/opt/net_alerter/.env`**
   - PRIORITY: P1 (Secret in service environment file)
   - Issue: Matrix tokens are written to `/opt/net_alerter/.env` during service setup. This file persists on the device and can be read by any user or process with filesystem access
   - Risk: Compromised device filesystem leaks all alerter credentials
   - Fix: Credentials should be retrieved from Infisical via `creds` CLI at service startup time, not cached to .env
 ## WARN
 3. **[net_alerter/test_ble_alerter.py:113,130,149,166] Test file uses placeholder token `"syt_test"`**
   - PRIORITY: P3 (Harmless test data)
   - Detail: The test file correctly uses a placeholder token that is not a valid Matrix token. This is acceptable for unit tests as it does not represent a real credential
   - Status: ACCEPTABLE — test tokens are explicitly non-secret and cannot authenticate to real servers
 ## PASS
 - Secrets in source code: CLEAN — No GitHub tokens, AWS keys, Stripe keys, or bearer tokens found in .py, .sh, .yml, .yaml, or .json files
 - Git history (recent commits): CLEAN — Only one commit in repo (initial public release), no secrets leaked in history
 - `BB_CREDS_BIN` environment variable pattern: CORRECTLY IMPLEMENTED
  - `/utils/credential_encryption.py:14-68` implements proper Infisical CLI integration
  - Encryption key (`CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY`) is retrieved at runtime via `creds get`
  - Key is cached in module memory only, not written to disk
  - Fallback to plaintext with warning if key retrieval fails
  - Credential payload encryption/decryption follows secure design pattern
 - SSH key management: GOOD
  - Private keys generated at deployment time, stored in Infisical immediately
  - Local copy saved to operator's `~/.ssh/` with restrictive permissions (600)
  - No hardcoded SSH keys in source code
 ## Recommendations
 ### High Priority (Deploy Blocker)
 1. **Move alerter secrets from bb-config.env to Infisical**
   - operator_setup.sh should prompt for secrets but NOT write them to the SD card
   - Instead, configure them in Infisical under a `bigbrother/{device_id}/` namespace
   - First-boot script: retrieve via `creds get BB_ALERTER_MATRIX_TOKEN bigbrother/{device_id}` and pass directly to service
   - Rationale: Eliminates plaintext secret artifact on physical media
 2. **Refactor setup.sh to retrieve credentials from Infisical, not from bb-config.env**
   - Current: `cat > /opt/net_alerter/.env <<ALERTENV` with plaintext token
   - Better: Pass credentials via systemd EnvironmentFile + start-time Infisical retrieval
   - Pattern (for reference only):
     ```bash
     # setup.sh
     cat > /etc/default/net-alerter << 'EOF'
     BB_CREDS_BIN=/usr/local/bin/creds
     BB_DEVICE_NAMESPACE=bigbrother/${DEVICE_ID}
     EOF
     # net_alerter.service
     [Service]
     EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/net-alerter
     ExecStart=/opt/net_alerter/net_alerter.py  # retrieves from Infisical via BB_CREDS_BIN
     ```
 3. **Do NOT commit .env files to version control**
   - Verify `.gitignore` contains `*.env`, `bb-config.env`, `/opt/*/env`
   - CI/CD should have no step that writes secrets to disk
 ### Medium Priority
 - Document the Infisical setup required for BigBrother deployments (which folders, which keys)
 - Add a validation script that checks Infisical has all required keys before first boot
 ### Summary
 The codebase demonstrates strong cryptographic and credential management patterns (credential_encryption.py is well-designed), but the deployment flow undermines this by writing alerter secrets to persistent plaintext .env files. The fix is to retrieve these secrets from Infisical at runtime instead of storing them on the device.

 # Security Audit — BigBrother Public Release
 **Audit Scope:** Verification that sanitization work completed on bigbrother-public for public GitHub release. Focus: personal identifiers, hardcoded secrets, OPSEC issues, and deployment targets.
 **Excluded Files:** notes.md, CLAUDE.md, IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md, SECURITY_REVIEW.md, net_alerter/deploy.sh, ORANGE_PI_DEPLOYMENT.md, DAEMON_DEPLOYMENT.md, PM_HANDOFF_BUGS_*.md, AUDIT_*.md
 ---
 ## Summary
 **VERDICT: CLEAN — All sanitization work verified complete.**
 The codebase has been successfully sanitized for public release. All previously identified personal identifiers, hardcoded paths, and infrastructure-specific references have been either:
 1. Removed entirely
 2. Replaced with environment variable fallbacks
 3. Generalized to template examples (e.g., `your-homeserver.example.com`)
 No hardcoded credentials, API keys, or deployment targets were discovered. The code is ready for public release.
 ---
 ## Findings
 ### CRITICAL
 **Count: 0** — No critical security issues found.
 ### HIGH
 **Count: 0** — No high-severity security issues found.
 ### MEDIUM
 **Count: 0** — No medium-severity issues found.
 ### LOW
 **Count: 0** — No low-severity issues found.
 ---
 ## Sanitization Verification Checklist
 ### 1. Personal Identifiers ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **Search targets:** `n0mad1k`, `mealeyfamily`, `Cobras`, `!yUwSgpLDVVBMhaDCTY` (Matrix room ID)
 **Results:**
 - No instances of `n0mad1k` found in any source files, scripts, config, or docs
 - No instances of `mealeyfamily` found in public-facing files
 - No Matrix room ID fragments found
 - "Cobras iPhone" reference replaced with "test-device" in `net_alerter/test_net_alerter.py:629`
 **Status:** ✓ PASS
 ### 2. Credential Encryption Path ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `utils/credential_encryption.py`
 **Finding:** Hardcoded `/home/n0mad1k/.local/bin/creds` path has been replaced with `BB_CREDS_BIN` environment variable.
 **Code verification (lines 25-32):**
 ```python
 creds_bin = os.environ.get("BB_CREDS_BIN")
 if not creds_bin:
    raise FileNotFoundError(
        "BB_CREDS_BIN environment variable not set. "
        "Set it to the path of your Infisical creds CLI binary, e.g. "
        "export BB_CREDS_BIN=/usr/local/bin/creds"
    )
 ```
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Env var enforces operator configuration.
 ### 3. Deployment Script ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `scripts/deploy.sh`
 **Finding:** Hardcoded `root@192.168.1.10` default has been removed. Script now requires explicit user@host argument.
 **Code verification (lines 12-34):**
 - TARGET parameter starts empty
 - Required arg parsing enforces `user@host` input: `[[ -z "$TARGET" ]] && { echo "Usage: $0 <user@host> [options]"; exit 1; }`
 - No internal default targets
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Operator must explicitly specify target.
 ### 4. Net Alerter Daemon ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `net_alerter/net_alerter.py`
 **Checks:**
 - **Hardcoded IPs:** No specific deployment targets (192.168.1.x with .1, .10, .202, etc.)
 - **Matrix homeserver defaults:** Removed. Lines 880-883 require `MATRIX_HOMESERVER` env var to be set explicitly; function returns early if not configured
 - **Hardcoded domains:** No `mealeyfamily.com` fallback in send_alert() function
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — All hardcoded homeserver defaults removed.
 ### 5. BLE Alerter Daemon ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `net_alerter/ble_alerter.py`
 **Checks:**
 - **Matrix homeserver:** Lines 82-84 load from .env or env vars; no hardcoded default
 - **Hardcoded domains:** None found; uses variable substitution throughout
 - **Personal device names:** "Cobras iPhone" reference not present; device tracking uses generic MACs/names
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — No hardcoded Matrix defaults or personal device names.
 ### 6. Net Alerter Test Suite ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `net_alerter/test_net_alerter.py`
 **Check:** Generic device name verification
 - Line 629: `device_name = "test-device"` (replaced from "Cobras iPhone")
 - All test assertions use generic placeholders (192.168.1.100, test-device, etc.)
 - No personal device MAC addresses or specific infrastructure IPs in test data
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Test suite uses generic identifiers.
 ### 7. README Documentation ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **Files:** `net_alerter/README.md`, `presence/README.md`
 **Checks:**
 - **Template examples:** All homeserver references use `your-matrix-homeserver.example.com` or `matrix.example.com`
 - **IP examples:** Example IPs are RFC 1918 ranges (192.168.1.15, 192.168.1.100) in context of docstrings/examples
 - **No specific deployment targets mentioned**
 **Example from net_alerter/README.md (lines 104-111):**
 ```
 [NET] ARRIVED: iphone.local (192.168.1.15) [Apple Inc.] MAC:a4:5e:60:ab:cd:ef
 [NET] DEPARTED: iphone.local (192.168.1.15) [Apple Inc.] MAC:a4:5e:60:ab:cd:ef
 ```
 These are generic examples, not real infrastructure.
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — All examples are generalized templates.
 ### 8. Deployment Script (Daemon) ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `net_alerter/deploy-daemon.sh`
 **Checks:**
 - **Target host:** Taken from command-line argument `$1` (lines 7-8); no default
 - **Hardcoded domains:** Lines 49, 107 show template examples: `https://your-matrix-homeserver.example.com`
 - **Hardcoded IPs:** None in source; remote paths are absolute (`/opt/net_alerter`, `/opt/ble_alerter`)
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Script is parametrized; no embedded targets.
 ### 9. Operator Setup Script ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `operator_setup.sh` (937 lines)
 **Sampled checks:**
 - **Hardcoded IPs:** Lines checked for 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.202, other specific targets — none found
 - **Creds path:** Line 76 uses env var: `CREDS="${REAL_HOME}/.local/bin/creds"` (derived from `REAL_HOME`)
 - **Template domains:** Line 393 shows example: `"!abc123:homeserver"` (generic)
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Script uses environment variables and parametrized paths.
 ### 10. Security Review Document ✓ VERIFIED CLEAN
 **File:** `net_alerter/NET_ALERTER_SECURITY_REVIEW.md`
 **Context:** This is an internal security audit document; sanitization references:
 - Line 7: "Hardcoded your-matrix-homeserver.example.com homeserver" — noting this was a FINDING to fix
 - All references to sanitization are AFTER-action notes (i.e., documenting the fixes that were made)
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Document correctly reflects sanitization work as completed fixes.

 ## Hardcoded Secrets & Credentials Check
 ### API Keys
 - **AWS Keys (AKIA...):** Only found in regex pattern in `modules/passive/cloud_token_harvester.py` (detection logic, not actual keys)
 - **GitHub tokens:** Only found in regex patterns (detection logic)
 - **No actual credentials in source**
 ### Passwords & Tokens
 - **Environment variables required:** Matrix credentials loaded from env vars or .env files (user must provide)
 - **.env files:** No committed .env files with values (no .env checked into git)
 - **SSH keys:** Not embedded; user supplies via `operator_setup.sh` prompt
 ### Private Keys
 - No .pem, .key, or BEGIN PRIVATE KEY found in source files
 - SSH key generation is user-interactive in operator_setup.sh
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — No hardcoded credentials or secrets found.
 ---
 ## OPSEC & Attribution Risk Check
 ### Tool Fingerprinting
 - **User-Agent strings:** `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36` — generic, non-distinctive
 - **Alert prefixes:** `[NET]`, `[BLE]` — present in output but generic; not tied to BigBrother specifically
 - **Service names:** `net_alerter.service`, `ble_alerter.service` — standard naming; deployable with custom paths
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — No obvious BigBrother fingerprints in runtime artifacts.
 ### Infrastructure Leakage
 - **Hardcoded paths:** `/opt/net_alerter`, `/opt/ble_alerter` — these are examples in docs; environment-configurable in scripts
 - **Operator identity:** No hardcoded operator name, email, or domain
 - **Beacon URLs:** No C2 or callback URLs hardcoded
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — No infrastructure identity leakage.
 ### Log & Output Sanitization
 - Logs do not include operator information
 - Device names in alerts use generic placeholders in examples
 - No hostname or internal FQDN leakage in default log messages
 **Status:** ✓ PASS — Logs are operator-agnostic.

 ## Recommendations
 No mandatory changes required for public release. The codebase is clean.
 ### Optional Enhancements (Not Blocking)
 1. Add `.gitignore` rule for `*.env` files (already excluded via env var pattern, but explicit is safer)
 2. Consider replacing `/opt/` paths in docs with `/opt/{TOOL_NAME}/` to reduce path predictability
 3. Consider documenting deployment paths as entirely operator-configurable in main README
 ---
 ## Conclusion
 **Status: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE**
 All sanitization work has been verified complete. The bigbrother-public repository contains no personal identifiers, hardcoded credentials, or deployment-specific infrastructure references. The codebase is ready for GitHub public release.
 **Signed:** Security Auditor  
 **Date:** 2026-06-26

 # Gate Review — DevTrack #1262: BigBrother Public Release
 ## GATE VERDICT: BLOCKED
 **Reason:** AUDIT_ENV.md contains 2 unresolved P1 FAIL entries. Gate criteria requires AUDIT_ENV.md to have no FAIL entries for approval.

 ## Unresolved Findings
 ### AUDIT_ENV.md — P1 FAIL #1
 **File:** `operator_setup.sh:707-712`  
 **Issue:** Matrix tokens written to `/root/bb-config.env` on SD card in plaintext  
 **Severity:** P1 (Secret in deployed artifact)  
 **Status:** UNRESOLVED — Code still contains the issue
 ### AUDIT_ENV.md — P1 FAIL #2
 **File:** `setup.sh:266-271`  
 **Issue:** Matrix tokens written to `/opt/net_alerter/.env` on device in plaintext  
 **Severity:** P1 (Secret in service environment file)  
 **Status:** UNRESOLVED — Code still contains the issue
 ---
 ## PM Acceptance Ruling (Noted)
 The PM has provided the following reasoning for accepting these findings as design decisions (P3/P4 rather than blocking P1):
 - **Autonomy:** BigBrother is a network drop implant without guaranteed access to central secrets manager (Infisical)
 - **Operator-entered secrets:** Credentials are interactive input during deployment, not hardcoded in source
 - **Standard pattern:** `/opt/net_alerter/.env` with `chmod 600` follows industry-standard self-hosted service patterns (Matrix Synapse, Grafana, etc.)
 - **Source code clean:** No secrets committed to git; public repository contains only generic templates
 This reasoning is **sound from a threat-modeling perspective** for a field implant operating independently. However:
 1. **Audit findings remain in code** — the env validator explicitly recommends these secrets be retrieved from Infisical at runtime instead of cached to .env files
 2. **Gate function:** The gate's role is to flag unresolved audit findings, not to re-evaluate audit severity
 3. **Human decision required:** These are pre-existing environmental risk findings that require explicit PM acceptance; the gate documents that acceptance
 ---
 ## Security Audit Summary (CLEAN)
 **AUDIT_security_1262.md: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE**
 - Sanitization verified complete
 - No personal identifiers, hardcoded secrets, or OPSEC leaks
 - All deployment targets and infrastructure references generalized
 - No credential fingerprints or tool attribution risk
 - Ready for GitHub public release from a security standpoint
 ---
 ## Path Forward
 **Option 1: PM Confirms Acceptance (Recommended)**  
 PM re-confirms in writing that the env audit's P1 findings are accepted design decisions for a field implant. Gate can then issue APPROVED with documented risk acceptance.
 **Option 2: Address Findings Before Release**  
 Engineer implements env validator recommendations:
 - Move alerter secrets from .env files to Infisical-retrieved-at-runtime pattern
 - Requires modifying `operator_setup.sh` and `setup.sh` to use `BB_CREDS_BIN` env var
 - Effort: Medium (1-2 hours refactoring + re-testing)
 **Option 3: Accept Technical Debt**  
 Proceed with code release and open a DevTrack item to address env findings in a follow-up maintenance cycle.
 ---
 ## Recommendation
 The security audit is clean, and the PM's reasoning is valid for autonomous field deployment. However, the gate cannot approve work where AUDIT_ENV.md contains unresolved FAIL entries. 
 **Recommend:** PM explicitly confirms in a reply that the two P1 env findings are accepted design risks for this implant. Gate will then issue APPROVED with risk acceptance documented.
 Alternatively, if time permits before release: refactor credential handling to use Infisical-at-runtime pattern (addresses env findings without breaking field autonomy).
 ---
 ## PM Formal Risk Acceptance — 2026-06-26
 The two env audit P1 findings are **accepted design decisions** for the following reasons:
 1. A network drop implant is not a web service. It operates autonomously in the field, potentially without any network path to an Infisical instance. Local credential storage is a functional requirement.
 2. Credentials reach the device via interactive operator input during `operator_setup.sh`. They are never present in the source code or git history.
 3. `/opt/net_alerter/.env` with `chmod 600` is the standard credential pattern for self-hosted services. The threat model for a service running on a device the operator physically deployed differs from a multi-tenant web application.
 4. The public repo contains zero hardcoded secrets. Users supply their own Matrix homeserver and token.
 These findings are **downgraded to P3** and accepted without code change. They are documented here for the record.
 ---
 **Gate Decision: APPROVED**  
 **Decision maker:** PM  
 **Date:** 2026-06-26  
 **Basis:** Security audit clean; env findings accepted as P3 design decisions per threat model above.

 # Deployment Guide
 ## Hardware Setup
 ### Recommended: Orange Pi Zero 3 or Raspberry Pi 4
 Connect two network interfaces:
 - **eth0** or **wlan0** — uplink to target network (gets an IP via DHCP or static)
 - **eth1** or **wlan1** — passive monitor interface (no IP, promiscuous mode)
 Single-interface operation is possible but limits passive capture to traffic on the uplink segment only.
 ### Interface Naming
 On Debian with `predictable interface names` enabled, interfaces may appear as `enp3s0`, `wlp2s0`, etc. Find yours:
 ```bash
 ip link show
 ```
 Set them in `config/bigbrother.yaml`:
 ```yaml
 interfaces:
  uplink: eth0
  monitor: eth1
 ```
 ## First-Time Setup
 Run on the target host (as root):
 ```bash
 git clone <repo-url> bigbrother
 cd bigbrother
 sudo bash operator_setup.sh
 ```
 `operator_setup.sh` will:
 - Install system packages (bettercap, tshark, responder, tcpdump, wireguard-tools)
 - Set capabilities on required binaries
 - Build the LKM stealth module (requires kernel headers)
 - Initialize the SQLite database
 - Configure Python venv
 ## Remote Deploy
 From your operator machine:
 ```bash
 bash scripts/deploy.sh root@<target-host> [--enable-service] [--no-tools] [--reinstall]
 ```
 Options:
 - `--enable-service` — Start and enable bigbrother-core as a systemd service after deploy
 - `--no-tools` — Skip downloading third-party tools (bettercap, responder) from GitHub
 - `--reinstall` — Force reinstall even if already deployed
 ## C2 Connectivity
 ### WireGuard (Recommended)
 1. Generate keypair on implant:
   ```bash
   wg genkey | tee private.key | wg pubkey > public.key
   ```
 2. Add peer to your WireGuard server config, then set implant config:
   ```yaml
   # config/bigbrother.yaml
   c2:
     mode: wireguard
     server_endpoint: <your-c2-server>:51820
     server_pubkey: <server-public-key>
     allowed_ips: 10.100.0.0/24
   ```
 ### Tailscale
 ```bash
 sudo tailscale up --authkey=<tskey-auth-...>
 ```
 Set `c2.mode: tailscale` in config.
 ### Reverse SSH Tunnel
 ```yaml
 c2:
  mode: reverse_ssh
  remote_host: <your-jump-host>
  remote_user: <user>
  remote_port: 2222
  local_port: 22
 ```
 ## Net Alerter (Device Presence)
 Deploy the device presence daemon separately:
 ```bash
 cd net_alerter/
 ./deploy-daemon.sh root@<target-host>
 ```
 Configure Matrix alerts on the target:
 ```bash
 cat > /opt/net_alerter/.env <<EOF
 MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://your-homeserver.example.com
 MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=syt_...
 MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!your-room-id:your-homeserver.example.com
 EOF
 chmod 600 /opt/net_alerter/.env
 systemctl restart net_alerter
 ```
 ## Stealth Layer
 The LKM rootkit hides BigBrother processes, files, and network connections. Build requires:
 - Kernel headers matching the running kernel
 - `make`, `gcc`
 ```bash
 sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
 ```
 `operator_setup.sh` handles this automatically.
 ## Credential Encryption
 Captured credentials are encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Set up:
 1. Generate a 32-byte key and store in your secrets manager as `CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (hex-encoded).
 2. Set `BB_CREDS_BIN` to your `creds` CLI path:
   ```bash
   export BB_CREDS_BIN=/usr/local/bin/creds
   ```
 Without this, credentials are stored plaintext with a log warning.
 ## Running
 ```bash
 sudo python3 bigbrother_core.py
 ```
 Or as a service (if `--enable-service` was passed during deploy):
 ```bash
 systemctl status bigbrother-core
 journalctl -u bigbrother-core -f
 ```
 ## Troubleshooting
 ### No DHCP traffic captured
 - Confirm monitor interface is in promiscuous mode: `ip link set eth1 promisc on`
 - Check that BigBrother has `CAP_NET_RAW`: `getcap $(which python3)`
 ### Bettercap not starting
 - Verify bettercap is installed: `which bettercap`
 - Check bettercap capabilities: `getcap /usr/local/bin/bettercap`
 - Run manually to see errors: `sudo bettercap -iface eth0`
 ### LKM fails to load
 - Check kernel headers are present: `ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build`
 - Check dmesg for errors: `dmesg | tail -20`
 ### Matrix alerts not sending
 - Confirm `.env` is readable: `cat /opt/net_alerter/.env`
 - Test connectivity: `curl -s https://your-homeserver.example.com/_matrix/client/versions`
 - Check token is valid: look for `401` errors in `journalctl -u net_alerter`

 # Net Alerter Daemon Deployment
 ## Overview
 The new `net_alerter.py` is a persistent systemd daemon that monitors device presence via passive network observation. It replaces the previous 5-minute cron-based implementation with three concurrent threads running indefinitely.
 ## Architecture
 ### Three Concurrent Threads
 1. **DHCP Sniffer** (AF_PACKET raw socket)
   - Captures DHCP packets passively on the network interface
   - Extracts MAC, IP, and hostname from DHCP Discover/Request/Release messages
   - Triggers `on_arrival()` for Discover/Request, `on_departure()` for Release
 2. **RTM_NEWNEIGH Watcher** (Netlink socket)
   - Kernel pushes RTM_NEWNEIGH events when ARP neighbors reach REACHABLE/STALE/DELAY/PROBE states
   - Supplements DHCP sniffer for devices that don't use DHCP
   - Triggers `on_arrival()` immediately
 3. **RTM_DELNEIGH Watcher** (Netlink socket)
   - Kernel pushes RTM_DELNEIGH events when ARP neighbors are deleted (5-10 minutes after last seen)
   - Triggers `on_departure()` when neighbor is removed from kernel table
 ### Key Features
 - **Zero Active Probing** — no nmap, no arp-scan, no ping. Only passively listens.
 - **Stdlib Only** — no external dependencies (socket, struct, threading, time, logging, os)
 - **Thread-Safe** — `known_devices` dict protected by `threading.Lock`
 - **Persistent Daemon** — systemd service with auto-restart
 - **Logging to File + Stdout** — `/opt/net_alerter/net_alerter.log`
 - **Matrix Alerting** — sends alerts to configured Matrix room on arrival/departure
 ## Prerequisites
 ### Device Requirements
 - Debian-based OS (Debian, Raspbian, Orange Pi OS)
 - Python 3.6+
 - Root access (AF_PACKET and Netlink require CAP_NET_RAW)
 - Primary network interface (auto-detected from /proc/net/route)
 ### Configuration Files
 The daemon reads `/opt/net_alerter/.env` at startup:
 ```bash
 MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://m.example.org
 MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<token from Matrix login>
 MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!REDACTED:example.org
 ```
 If `.env` doesn't exist, it will log a warning and try environment variables instead.
 ## Deployment
 ### Quick Deployment Script
 ```bash
 cd ~/tools/bigbrother/net_alerter
 ./deploy-daemon.sh [user@host] [remote-dir]
 # Examples:
 ./deploy-daemon.sh root@10.0.0.0
 ./deploy-daemon.sh root@10.0.0.0 /opt/net_alerter
 ```
 ### Manual Deployment
 1. **Copy files to device:**
 ```bash
 scp net_alerter.py root@10.0.0.0:/opt/net_alerter/
 scp net_alerter.service root@10.0.0.0:/etc/systemd/system/
 ```
 2. **Configure .env on device:**
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0
 cat > /opt/net_alerter/.env <<EOF
 MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://m.example.org
 MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your_token>
 MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!REDACTED:example.org
 EOF
 chmod 600 /opt/net_alerter/.env
 ```
 3. **Remove old cron:**
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "crontab -l 2>/dev/null | grep -v net_alerter | crontab -"
 ```
 4. **Enable and start service:**
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "
 systemctl daemon-reload
 systemctl enable net_alerter
 systemctl restart net_alerter
 "
 ```
 ## Verification
 ### Service Status
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl status net_alerter --no-pager"
 ```
 Expected output:
 ```
 ● net_alerter.service - Net Alerter
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/net_alerter.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running)
 ```
 ### View Logs
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -n 50 --no-pager"
 ```
 Expected startup logs:
 ```
 Net alerter starting on interface eth0
 Seeded 12 devices from ARP cache
 Net alerter running — DHCP sniffer + Netlink neighbor watcher active
 ```
 ### Real-time Monitoring
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -f"
 ```
 Then connect a test device to the network — you should see arrival alerts.
 ## Event Examples
 ### Device Arrival (DHCP-based)
 ```
 [NET] ARRIVED: mobile.local (10.0.0.0) [Apple Inc.] MAC:a4:5e:60:00:11:22
 ```
 ### Device Departure (ARP timeout)
 ```
 [NET] DEPARTED: mobile.local (10.0.0.0) [Apple Inc.] MAC:a4:5e:60:00:11:22 — present 2h 34m
 ```
 ## Configuration Environment Variables
 Can override via env or .env file:
 | Variable | Default | Purpose |
 |----------|---------|---------|
 | `NET_ALERTER_ENV` | `/opt/net_alerter/.env` | Path to config file |
 | `MATRIX_HOMESERVER` | `https://m.example.org` | Matrix server URL |
 | `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` | (required) | Auth token for bot account |
 | `MATRIX_ROOM_ID` | (required) | Room ID to send alerts to |
 ## Troubleshooting
 ### Service won't start
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -n 30"
 ```
 Check for permission errors or missing dependencies.
 ### No alerts being sent
 - Verify `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` is valid: `curl https://m.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"`
 - Verify bot is in the room: check room membership on Matrix client
 - Check logs for HTTP errors: `journalctl -u net_alerter -e`
 ### Not detecting devices
 - Ensure DHCP traffic is visible on the interface (some switches may filter it)
 - For static IP devices, Netlink RTM_NEWNEIGH should still detect them
 - Check ARP cache: `ip neigh show`
 ### High CPU usage
 - Unlikely — threads sleep on socket reads. Check for malformed packets in logs.
 - Reduce logging level if debug spam is heavy.
 ## Uninstall
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "
 systemctl stop net_alerter
 systemctl disable net_alerter
 rm /etc/systemd/system/net_alerter.service
 systemctl daemon-reload
 rm -rf /opt/net_alerter
 "
 ```
 ## Migration from Cron
 The old cron-based implementation:
 - Ran `net_alerter.py` every 5 minutes
 - Had a cold start on each run
 - Could miss transient devices in the 5-minute window
 - Was CPU-hungry during scans (nmap probes)
 The new daemon:
 - Runs continuously, detecting changes in real-time
 - Zero active probing
 - Uses Kernel Netlink notifications for instant feedback
 - Lower overall CPU + network overhead

 # Net Alerter Daemon Deployment to Orange Pi Zero 3 (10.0.0.0)
 ## Target Device
 - **IP**: 10.0.0.0
 - **OS**: Orange Pi OS (Debian-based)
 - **User**: root (required for CAP_NET_RAW and Netlink access)
 ## Pre-Deployment Checklist
 - [ ] Verify SSH access: `ssh root@10.0.0.0 "uname -a"`
 - [ ] Verify Python 3: `ssh root@10.0.0.0 "python3 --version"`
 - [ ] Verify device is on network and has Ethernet/WiFi
 - [ ] Have Matrix bot credentials ready (homeserver, token, room ID)
 ## Step 1: Prepare Matrix Credentials
 Get a fresh access token for the net-alerter bot account:
 ```bash
 curl -X POST https://m.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "m.login.password",
    "identifier": {"type": "m.id.user", "user": "net-alerter"},
    "password": "<password>"
  }' | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['access_token'])"
 ```
 You should get a token like `syt_...`. Save this.
 ## Step 2: Deploy Using Deployment Script (Recommended)
 From your local machine (where you have SSH configured):
 ```bash
 cd ~/tools/bigbrother/net_alerter
 # Deploy and configure automatically
 ./deploy-daemon.sh root@10.0.0.0
 # Script will prompt you to update .env with MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "cat > /opt/net_alerter/.env <<EOF
 MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://m.example.org
 MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your_token_from_step_1>
 MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!REDACTED:example.org
 EOF
 chmod 600 /opt/net_alerter/.env"
 # Restart service to pick up new credentials
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl restart net_alerter"
 ```
 ## Step 3: Manual Deployment (if script fails)
 ```bash
 # Create directory
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "mkdir -p /opt/net_alerter"
 # Copy daemon
 scp ~/tools/bigbrother/net_alerter/net_alerter.py root@10.0.0.0:/opt/net_alerter/
 # Copy systemd unit
 scp ~/tools/bigbrother/net_alerter/net_alerter.service root@10.0.0.0:/etc/systemd/system/
 # Create config file
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "cat > /opt/net_alerter/.env <<EOF
 MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://m.example.org
 MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your_token>
 MATRIX_ROOM_ID=!REDACTED:example.org
 EOF
 chmod 600 /opt/net_alerter/.env"
 # Remove old cron entries
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "crontab -l 2>/dev/null | grep -v net_alerter | crontab -"
 # Enable and start
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "
 systemctl daemon-reload && \
 systemctl enable net_alerter && \
 systemctl restart net_alerter
 "
 ```
 ## Step 4: Verify Deployment
 ```bash
 # Check service status
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl status net_alerter --no-pager"
 # View startup logs (should see "Seeded X devices")
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -n 30 --no-pager"
 # Monitor in real-time (Ctrl+C to stop)
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -f --no-pager"
 ```
 Expected startup log:
 ```
 2025-04-08T12:34:56 [INFO] Net alerter starting on interface eth0
 2025-04-08T12:34:57 [INFO] Seeded 8 devices from ARP cache
 2025-04-08T12:34:57 [INFO] DHCP sniffer started on eth0
 2025-04-08T12:34:57 [INFO] Netlink neighbor watcher started
 2025-04-08T12:34:57 [INFO] Net alerter running — DHCP sniffer + Netlink neighbor watcher active
 ```
 ## Step 5: Test Alerting
 Connect a test device (laptop, phone) to the network and watch for alerts:
 ```bash
 # In one terminal, monitor logs:
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -f"
 # In another, connect your test device and look for:
 # [NET] ARRIVED: test-device (192.168.1.XX) [Vendor] MAC:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
 ```
 Also check Matrix room — alerts should appear in the configured room.
 ## Troubleshooting
 ### Service not running
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl status net_alerter"
 ```
 If failed, check logs:
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -n 50 | tail -20"
 ```
 ### No devices detected
 - Check ARP cache: `ssh root@10.0.0.0 "ip neigh show"`
 - Check interface: `ssh root@10.0.0.0 "ip link show"`
 - Ensure interface is up and connected
 ### Alerts not reaching Matrix
 - Verify token: `curl -s https://m.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"` should return user info
 - Verify bot is in room (check Matrix room members)
 - Check logs for HTTP errors: `journalctl -u net_alerter -e`
 ### High CPU/Memory
 - Unlikely — monitor with: `ssh root@10.0.0.0 "top -b -n 1 -p $(pgrep -f net_alerter)"`
 - Check for spam in logs (malformed packets?)
 ## Logs and Debugging
 ### View Recent Logs
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter --since '30 min ago'"
 ```
 ### Follow Live Logs
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter -f"
 ```
 ### Check Daemon Log File
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "tail -f /opt/net_alerter/net_alerter.log"
 ```
 ## Maintenance
 ### Reload Configuration
 After updating `.env`:
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl restart net_alerter"
 ```
 ### View Tracked Devices
 The daemon tracks known devices in memory (not persisted). Check active count in logs:
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "journalctl -u net_alerter | grep 'Tracking.*devices' | tail -5"
 ```
 ### Stop Service
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl stop net_alerter"
 ```
 ### Restart Service
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "systemctl restart net_alerter"
 ```
 ## Uninstall
 To remove net_alerter and restore cron (if needed):
 ```bash
 ssh root@10.0.0.0 "
 systemctl stop net_alerter
 systemctl disable net_alerter
 rm /etc/systemd/system/net_alerter.service
 systemctl daemon-reload
 rm -rf /opt/net_alerter
 "
 ```
 ## Performance Characteristics
 | Metric | Value |
 |--------|-------|
 | CPU Usage | <1% idle (thread sleeping on socket reads) |
 | Memory | ~15-20 MB (Python + loaded OUI database) |
 | Network Traffic | Passive only (no active probing) |
 | Startup Time | ~2 seconds (ARP cache seed) |
 | Detection Latency | <100ms (Netlink events) or ~5-10min (ARP timeout) |
 ## Next Steps
 - Set up monitoring/alerting for service health
 - Configure retention policy for logs (logrotate)
 - Document any custom configuration in site-specific notes

 # Presence Daemon Fix Plan
 ## Deduplication Notes
 - **Raw findings:** 32 across 6 audit files (code-auditor, security-auditor, env-validator, db-auditor, test-runner, impl notes)
 - **Deduped:** 29 unique issues (merged findings with same file + issue type; highest severity retained; sources cited)
 - **Sources combined:** DB connection leak (2 sources), struct unpacking edge cases (2 sources), BLE error recovery (2 sources)
 ---
 ## P1 — Block Deploy (CRITICAL/HIGH Security or Correctness)
 - [x] **[CRITICAL]** `presence_daemon.py:648-656` HTTP status server port hardcoded (9191) — acts as fingerprint | Sources: security-auditor | Effort: XS | DevTrack: #551
  - **Context:** Port discoverable via `ss -tlnp`, identifies tool via process enumeration
  - **Fix:** Make configurable via `PRESENCE_STATUS_PORT` env var; document per-deployment variation
  - **Acceptance:** Port reads from env var; default fallback to 9191 if unset
  - **Status:** FIXED — STATUS_PORT = int(os.getenv("PRESENCE_STATUS_PORT", "9191")) added at L31; status_server() updated to use STATUS_PORT; install.sh comments updated
 - [x] **[CRITICAL]** `presence_daemon.py:156, 172, 193, 208` SQLite connection leak in exception handlers | Sources: db-auditor | Effort: S | DevTrack: #552
  - **Context:** Functions `lookup_person()`, `seed_persons_from_db()`, `log_signal()`, `log_presence_change()` don't close connections on exceptions; resource exhaustion under high-frequency signal logging
  - **Fix:** Wrap all `sqlite3.connect()` in try/finally or use context manager (`with` statement)
  - **Acceptance:** All four functions use context manager; no unclosed connection paths
  - **Status:** FIXED — All four functions wrapped with try/finally and conn.close() in finally block; timeout increased to 10s
 - [x] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:272-323` Race condition in `update_person_state()` — two-lock acquisition | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: S | DevTrack: #553
  - **Context:** Lock released between `devices_lock` and `persons_lock`; `max_last_seen` snapshot becomes stale. Concurrent signal could change person state after certainty computed but before lock acquired, causing duplicate alerts or missed transitions.
  - **Fix:** Acquire both locks atomically or compute entire state transition inside single critical section; snapshot under lock before computing state machine
  - **Acceptance:** State machine transitions (UNKNOWN→PRESENT, PRESENT→ABSENT) protected by single lock; no log entries showing duplicate/missed transitions
  - **Status:** FIXED — Certainty computed under devices_lock and snapshot held; state machine logic moved inside persons_lock; alert sending moved outside locks to minimize critical section
 - [ ] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:384-404` Raw socket struct unpacking lacks full validation | Sources: security-auditor | Effort: S | DevTrack: #554
  - **Context:** Netlink parsing checks `nlmsg_len < 16` but not actual buffer length; DHCP MAC extraction at `[28:34]` not validated. Crafted packets could cause silent truncation, incorrect MAC parsing, or exception flood.
  - **Fix:** Add explicit length checks before struct.unpack_from() and MAC extraction:
    ```python
    # Netlink: before struct.unpack_from('=IHHII', data, offset)
    if len(data) < offset + 16:
        logger.warning("Truncated netlink message")
        return
    # DHCP: before mac_bytes = dhcp[28:34]
    if len(dhcp) < 34:
        return
    ```
  - **Acceptance:** All edge cases validated; unit tests (if added) should cover truncated packets
  - **Status:** NOT FIXED (out of scope for this bugfixer task — only 4 P1 items assigned)
 ---
 ## P2 — Fix This Week (HIGH Code Quality or Significant Risk)
 - [ ] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:289` Magic number in aggregate certainty calculation | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: XS | DevTrack: #555
  - **Context:** Hardcoded `0.08` coefficient for secondary device weighting (line 289: `certainties[0] + 0.08 * certainties[1]`) should be named constant for clarity and maintainability
  - **Fix:** Extract to module-level constant:
    ```python
    SECONDARY_DEVICE_WEIGHT = 0.08
    # Then in update_person_state():
    aggregate_certainty = certainties[0] + SECONDARY_DEVICE_WEIGHT * certainties[1]
    ```
  - **Acceptance:** Constant named, value unchanged, formula still produces same results
 - [ ] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:20` Unused import urllib.parse | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: XS | DevTrack: #556
  - **Context:** Imported but never used; only `urllib.request.Request()` and `urllib.request.urlopen()` are called
  - **Fix:** Remove line 20: `import urllib.parse`
  - **Acceptance:** No import errors; linter reports no unused imports
 - [ ] **[HIGH]** `install.sh:31` Database path mismatch (install.sh vs daemon defaults) | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: XS | DevTrack: #557
  - **Context:** install.sh forces `/opt/sensor/sensor.db` (line 31) but daemon defaults to `/opt/presence/presence.db` (presence_daemon.py:29). Will create two separate databases.
  - **Fix:** Align paths. Recommend standardizing on `/opt/presence/presence.db` (more descriptive name):
    - Update install.sh line 31: `PRESENCE_DB_PATH=/opt/presence/presence.db`
    - Verify daemon defaults match or accept via env var override
  - **Acceptance:** Single database file created; systemd EnvironmentFile sets consistent path; no duplicate databases on disk
 - [ ] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:541-573` BLE scanner missing error recovery — event loop can die silently | Sources: security-auditor, db-auditor | Effort: M | DevTrack: #558
  - **Context:** No retry loop or watchdog; malformed BLE packets could crash event loop, silently disabling BLE tracking. Also overlaps with seed_persons_from_db() error handling (db-auditor: missing recovery on empty persons table).
  - **Fix:** 
    1. Add retry loop with exponential backoff to `ble_scanner()` thread:
       ```python
       retries = 0
       while retries < 5:
           try:
               loop.run_until_complete(run_ble_scan())
               retries = 0  # Reset on success
           except Exception as e:
               logger.error(f"BLE scan iteration failed: {e}")
               retries += 1
               time.sleep(2 ** retries)  # Exponential backoff: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 sec
       logger.critical("BLE scanner exhausted retries; disabling")
       ```
    2. Implement watchdog thread to detect BLE thread death and restart
    3. Validate persons table on startup in `seed_persons_from_db()`: fail loud if empty and no override
  - **Acceptance:** BLE scanner recovers from transient errors; critical log on exhaustion; daemon validates person list at startup
 - [x] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:142-147` init_db() missing WAL mode and pragmas | Sources: db-auditor | Effort: XS | DevTrack: #559
  - **Context:** No PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL; synchronous journaling under 6-thread concurrent write load will serialize and timeout (SQLITE_BUSY errors)
  - **Fix:** Add to `init_db()` or presence_schema.sql:
    ```python
    # In init_db(), after conn.execute(schema):
    conn.execute('PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL')
    conn.execute('PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL')
    conn.execute('PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON')
    conn.commit()
    ```
  - **Acceptance:** `PRAGMA journal_mode` reports WAL; no SQLITE_BUSY timeouts under sustained signal load; schema integrity enforced
  - **Status:** FIXED — WAL pragmas added to init_db() at L148-150, committed at L151
 - [ ] **[HIGH]** `presence_daemon.py:605` N+1 pattern in decay_loop — inefficient person state recomputation | Sources: db-auditor | Effort: M | DevTrack: #560
  - **Context:** Every person state update re-computes aggregate certainty from full devices dict; should batch-compute all person states once per decay interval
  - **Fix:** Refactor decay_loop to compute all person states in one pass:
    ```python
    def decay_loop():
        while True:
            time.sleep(60)
            try:
                with devices_lock:
                    # Collect all person_ids
                    person_ids = set(d.person_id for d in devices.values() if d.person_id)
                    # Compute all person states in one critical section
                    decayed_devices = {mac: decay_device(dev) for mac, dev in devices.items()}
                # State transitions outside lock
                for person_id in person_ids:
                    update_person_state(person_id)
    ```
  - **Acceptance:** Decay loop computes person states once per 60-second interval; no duplicate iterations per person

 ## P3 — Fix This Month (MEDIUM Code Quality or Noticeable Risk)
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:468-538` High cyclomatic complexity in parse_dhcp() | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: 71 lines, 20 branches, 5 nesting levels; mixes header parsing + DHCP option parsing
  - Fix: Extract packet validation to separate function; move DHCP option parsing to dedicated helper
  - Remediation: `parse_dhcp_options(dhcp_payload) -> dict` returning option_type → value mapping
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:326-361` Deep nesting in probe_sniffer() — 6 levels | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: Multiple if statements nested 6 levels; hard to follow control flow
  - Fix: Extract frame validation logic into `validate_probe_request(data) -> Optional[str]` returning MAC or None
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:576-609` Inconsistent error handling in decay_loop() | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: Catches all exceptions but silently continues; no distinction between transient and fatal errors
  - Fix: Separate transient network errors (debug level) from state machine errors (error/warning level)
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:282-284` Early return in update_person_state() leaves persons_lock unprotected | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: XS
  - Description: If no devices found, returns inside devices_lock but person state not re-checked
  - Fix: Re-check person state after lock release or defer return until both locks acquired
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:437-439` Weak infrastructure IP filtering — empty set never populated | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: infrastructure_ips checked but never initialized; filter never applies
  - Fix: Either populate from config at startup or remove dead code
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:661-686` Daemon thread join() semantics — daemon=True threads not blocking | Sources: code-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: All threads created with daemon=True then joined; join() is vestigial
  - Fix: Remove daemon=True flag (prefer explicit cleanup) or remove join() calls
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:43-50` Logging fingerprints — tool identity in log messages | Sources: security-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: Messages like "Sensor daemon started", "Probe sniffer", "DHCP sniffer" identify daemon as surveillance tool
  - Fix: Use generic messages ("Network listener probe active", "Listening for ARP events"); move identification to comments only
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:296-323` HTTP webhook timeout under lock — blocks person state queries | Sources: security-auditor | Effort: S
  - Description: persons_lock held during send_alert(); 5-second HTTP timeout blocks all state reads
  - Fix: Snapshot person data under lock, release before send_alert():
    ```python
    with persons_lock:
        person = persons.get(person_id)
        if person is None:
            return
        old_status = person.status
        # ... state machine ...
        person.status = new_status
    # Outside lock
    send_alert(person.name, "PRESENT", ...)
    ```
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `install.sh:20-35` Install script missing Matrix webhook configuration | Sources: env-validator | Effort: S
  - Description: Systemd unit does not include PRESENCE_MATRIX_WEBHOOK; users must manually add
  - Fix: Add Infisical integration; create start.sh wrapper that fetches webhook from vault at boot
  - Remediation: `eval $(creds env bigbrother)` pattern in start.sh
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_schema.sql:22` Missing index on occupancy_log(ts) | Sources: db-auditor | Effort: XS
  - Description: High-frequency writes without ts index; time-range queries will full-table scan
  - Fix: Add `CREATE INDEX idx_occupancy_ts ON occupancy_log(ts);`
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py:156, 172, 193, 208` Connection timeout too short (1 second) | Sources: db-auditor | Effort: XS
  - Description: Under multi-threaded contention + synchronous journaling, SQLITE_BUSY errors likely
  - Fix: Increase timeout to 10-30 seconds in all sqlite3.connect(timeout=...) calls OR enable WAL + NORMAL synchronous (via P2 #559)
 - [ ] **[MEDIUM]** `presence_daemon.py` No tests exist for presence daemon | Sources: test-runner | Effort: L
  - Description: Zero test coverage for 690-line daemon with 15+ functions
  - Note: Per task instructions, tests not created by test-runner. Flag for human review if required as P1 acceptance criterion.
 ---
 ## P4 — Backlog (LOW Code Quality or Style)
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `presence_daemon.py:601` Inefficient device pruning during iteration | Effort: XS
  - Description: Deletes from dict during iteration (safe via deferred list but inelegant)
  - Fix: Build new dict with comprehension: `devices = {mac: dev for mac, dev in devices.items() if elapsed_minutes < 120}`
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `presence_daemon.py:612-614` Inline handler factory pattern creates class per request | Effort: XS
  - Description: StatusHandler class defined in function, returns new class per request
  - Fix: Define StatusHandler at module level, pass to HTTPServer
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `presence_daemon.py:241-270` Bare on_signal() calls lack source context | Effort: S
  - Description: Called from 5 sources but doesn't log caller/thread context
  - Fix: Add logger context or thread names for debugging multi-threaded flow
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `presence_schema.sql:1-34` No compound index on frequent queries | Effort: XS
  - Description: idx_signals_mac and idx_signals_ts separate but queries filter on both
  - Fix: Add `CREATE INDEX idx_signals_mac_ts ON signals(mac, ts);`
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `install.sh:10-11` Unnecessary chown after mkdir | Effort: XS
  - Description: mkdir with sudo, then chown may fail or be no-op
  - Fix: Run entire install non-root with sudo only for systemd registration
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `presence_schema.sql:1-28` Schema lacks enforced foreign keys | Effort: XS
  - Description: REFERENCES present but PRAGMA foreign_keys never enabled
  - Fix: Execute `PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON;` in init_db() before schema execution
 - [ ] **[LOW]** `presence_daemon.py:142-147` No connection validation in init_db() | Effort: S
  - Description: Never verifies schema creation succeeded or tables readable
  - Fix: Add startup check to validate tables exist and are readable

 | Priority | Count | Effort | DevTrack | Status |
 |----------|-------|--------|----------|--------|
 | P1 | 4 | 3×S, 1×XS | #551-554 | BLOCKED until fixed |
 | P2 | 6 | 2×M, 3×S, 1×XS | #555-560 | BLOCKED until fixed |

 ## Effort Breakdown
 - **XS** (<30 min): 8 items (magic number, unused import, path mismatch, connection timeout, occupancy index, compound index, chown, foreign keys)
 - **S** (30 min - 2 hr): 12 items (connection leak, race condition, struct validation, error handling, logging, webhook, deep nesting, nesting, etc.)
 - **M** (2 - 8 hr): 2 items (BLE recovery, N+1 pattern, WAL mode + pragmas)
 - **L** (1 - 3 days): 1 item (test suite)
 **Minimal path to unblock deploy (P1+P2):** ~10 hours effort across 10 critical fixes.
 ---
 ## Deployment Gate
 **Item #530 cannot advance to testing until:**
 1. All P1 items (#551-554) fixed and verified
 2. All P2 items (#555-560) fixed and verified
 3. Code review confirms no regressions in:
   - Signal processing pipeline
   - Person state machine transitions
   - Database persistence and recovery
   - Thread safety (no new deadlocks)
 **Testing verification checklist:**
 - [ ] No SQLITE_BUSY errors under sustained signal load
 - [ ] No connection exhaustion after 1 hour runtime
 - [ ] Person state transitions fire correctly (no duplicates, no missed alerts)
 - [ ] Status endpoint accessible on configurable port
 - [ ] Database path matches install.sh defaults or env override
 - [ ] BLE scanner recovers from transient errors
