# Changelog
All notable changes to Warlock's Stave (`stave-core` crate) will be documented in this file.
## [7.0.0] - 2026-07-04
### Added
- Core engine with hexagonal heatmap timeline (axial coordinates, f64 pixel raycasting)
- Predictive branch evaluator (iced-x86 1.21.0, 15-byte safe decoder bounds)
- Dictionary scanner with default threat-hunting library (6 rules)
- Pluggable signature database engine with `ExternalScannerProvider` trait
- Mirror Illusion section-aware binary diff engine
- Tri-Tier Scope Engine (Global, Local, Micro)
- State Decay System for mutation highlight fadeout
- Shellcode Sentinel (memory permission transition monitor via `/proc/<pid>/maps`)
- Self-assembling IPC: Unix sockets, TCP loopback, named-pipe translation
- Thread-safe core via `Arc<Mutex<HexHeatmapEngine>>`
- C-FFI boundary layer (4 public functions with `#[no_mangle]`)
- JNI extension for Java-based host integration
- egui 0.27.0 4-quarter workspace UI
- Linux eBPF kernel tracing (aya 0.11.0, kprobe on `sys_enter_connect`)
- Windows ETW real-time telemetry session
- Polymorphic IPC evasion detection with Shannon entropy analysis
- UEFI NVRAM and ACPI table firmware analysis
- Pre-flight environment validator binary
- Evasion telemetry simulation binary
- Cross-compilation support for Wine plugin bridge (MinGW)
- Comprehensive unit test suite (14 tests)
- `rustdoc` examples on all FFI functions
### Design Decisions
- Engine is permanent; UI is disposable (Unix Philosophy)
- Host environments are untrusted; core has zero UI toolkit dependencies
- All IPC and FFI communication uses stateless JSON-Lines protocol
- Error paths return static data-segment strings to prevent host memory leaks
- `setcap` is never called inside the build script; printed as optional post-build step

# Quick Start
## Prerequisites
| Component | Debian/Ubuntu | Arch Linux | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rust toolchain | `rustup` | `rustup` | Core compilation |
| LLVM / Clang | `clang`, `llvm` | `clang`, `llvm` | eBPF bytecode compilation |
| MinGW-w64 | `g++-mingw-w64-x86-64` | `mingw-w64-gcc` | Wine plugin cross-compilation |
| libcap | `libcap2-bin` | `libcap` | Capability management |
| X11/Wayland | `libx11-dev`, `libwayland-dev` | `libx11`, `wayland` | egui rendering backend |
## Build
```bash
git clone https://github.com/warlock-architecture/stave-core.git
cd stave-core
cargo run --bin environment_check # Verify tooling
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh # Compile everything
```
## Optional: Enable Kernel Tracing
The eBPF probe requires elevated permissions. This step is **not** required for FFI, JNI, IPC, or UI-only usage:
```bash
sudo setcap cap_net_admin,cap_perfmon+ep ./target/release/libstave_core.so
```
## Verify
Open two terminals:
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start the engine (your host application loads libstave_core)
cargo run --bin simulate_evasion_telemetry
# Terminal 2: Run the evasion simulator
cargo run --bin simulate_evasion_telemetry
```
## Hotkey Reference
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| F1 | Help overlay |
| F2 | Load target binary / attach to PID |
| F3 | Inline micro-assembler (patch opcodes) |
| F4 | Cycle Q3 view mode (hex / assembly / headers) |
| F5 | Go to address / symbol |
| F6 | Search byte pattern or string |
| F7 | Step into (trace into CALL targets) |
| F8 | Step over (execute loops at native speed) |
| Alt+L | Toggle loop filter on hex grid |
| Alt+B | Toggle breakpoint filter on hex grid |
| Alt+D | Toggle disk I/O filter on hex grid |
| Alt+N | Toggle network I/O filter on hex grid |
| Ctrl+G | Follow pointer address in data viewport |
| Ctrl+T | Cast struct overlay onto hex view |
| Ctrl+Z | Undo last patch |
| F10 | Exit and flush telemetry |
> **Note:** Hotkeys are documented but not yet wired to the egui event loop. This is a planned feature.

# Warlock's Stave
A lightweight, zero-allocation reverse engineering telemetry hub written in Rust. The library crate is `stave-core`.
Warlock's Stave compiles to a single dynamic system library (`libstave_core.so`, `stave_core.dll`, `libstave_core.dylib`) that exposes a stateless, C-compatible FFI and JNI interface. It is designed as a permanent analysis engine that communicates via standardized data pipelines, independent of any specific host UI or windowing toolkit.
**License:** [AGPL-3.0-only](LICENSE)
---
## What It Does
Warlock's Stave receives raw instruction execution frames from a host debugger or emulator, runs them through an analysis pipeline, and returns structured JSON-Lines telemetry. The host application (a disassembler, a GUI, a headless pipeline) renders the results.
It handles IPC transport automatically: Unix domain sockets on bare metal, TCP loopback in containers, and named-pipe-to-Unix-socket translation for compatibility-layer environments.
---
## Core Engine
### Branch Prediction (Jump Oracle)
Decodes x86/x64 instructions via iced-x86 and evaluates conditional branches against the current EFLAGS register before the hardware commits. Supports JE, JNE, JG, JL, JMP, and CALL mnemonics. The decoder enforces a strict 15-byte clamp to prevent out-of-bounds reads on unmapped memory pages.
### Hexagonal Heatmap Timeline
Maps execution flow onto an axial hexagonal grid using f64-precision pixel raycasting. Each hex cell tracks hit count, I/O activity, breakpoint status, and semantic markers (loop, disk, network). The grid supports four filter toggles (Alt+L/B/D/N) to isolate specific activity types.
### Dictionary Scanner & Signature Database
A linear pattern-matching engine with two layers: a built-in hunting dictionary (HTTP/HTTPS URLs, anti-debug APIs, Base64 alphabets, PE headers) and a pluggable signature database designed to accept YARA-compatible and ClamAV-compatible backends via the `ExternalScannerProvider` trait.
### Tri-Tier Scope Engine
Classifies each execution frame at three analytical levels:
- **Global:** Cross-references, export footprints, file entropy.
- **Local:** Active function block boundaries from symbol tables.
- **Micro:** Predicted implicit register and memory side-effects before execution.
### Mirror Illusion Diff Engine
Section-aware binary comparison that aligns two files by ELF/PE section boundaries rather than raw byte offsets. This prevents code shifts from compiler changes from shattering the comparison. Operates on 16-byte grid lines with per-byte modified/identical status.
### State Decay System
Mutation highlights (registers flash red, memory bytes flash yellow) carry a configurable TTL counter that decrements each frame. Highlights fade smoothly back to the base theme color, communicating recent changes without permanent visual clutter.
### Self-Assembling IPC
Automatically detects the host environment at startup and selects the best transport:
| Environment | Transport |
|---|---|
| Bare metal (Linux) | Unix domain socket (`/tmp/stave_bridge_ipc.sock`) |
| Container (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes) | TCP loopback (`127.0.0.1:21860`) with `TCP_NODELAY` |
| Compatibility layer (Wine, Proton) | Named pipe (mapped to Unix socket by the translation bridge) |
---
## Visualization
The immediate-mode UI (egui 0.27.0) renders a 4-quarter workspace at a target 60 FPS:
| Quarter | Content |
|---|---|
| Top panel | Hexagonal heatmap grid with pixel-raycaster mouse tracking |
| Q1 (bottom-left) | Disassembly stream from iced-x86 decoding |
| Q2 (bottom-right) | Register matrix with mutation highlighting + branch prediction outcome |
| Q3 (bottom-left, below Q1) | Dual-pane hex/ASCII data viewport |
| Q4 (bottom-right, below Q2) | Telemetry overlay: firmware alerts, IPC evasion status, entropy sparklines |
The UI is isolated from the core engine by design. It consumes computed data structures and renders them. The engine has zero dependencies on window layout toolkits.
---
## Security Analysis
### Shellcode Sentinel
Monitors runtime memory segment permissions via `/proc/<pid>/maps`. Detects transitions that indicate shellcode injection:
- **Execute added to writable page** (RW- to RWX, or R-- to R-X)
- **Write added to executable page** (R-X to RWX)
- **Execute removed** (RWX to RW-, possibly post-exploitation cleanup)
Fires timed alerts that the UI renders as flashing warnings.
### Polymorphic IPC Evasion Detection
Audits processes for communication channel switching patterns. A process that drops its standard IPC connection while simultaneously creating unnamed pipes triggers an evasion alert. Includes Shannon entropy analysis for detecting encrypted channel activity.
### Firmware Analysis
Audits UEFI NVRAM variables for entries not belonging to known firmware vendors, and examines ACPI table entries for non-standard tables that could indicate bootkit persistence.
### Kernel Telemetry
- **Linux:** eBPF kprobe on `sys_enter_connect` via aya, capturing outbound connection events with PID and network namespace.
- **Windows:** Real-time ETW trace session for system event telemetry.
---
## Plugin System
Warlock's Stave is not locked into a single frontend. Three integration paths are provided:
### C/C++ FFI (x64dbg / Wine)
A compiled plugin DLL (`warlock_bridge.dp64`) that hooks the debugger's step event callback, captures the current instruction context, and forwards it to the IPC daemon over a named pipe. See `bridges/stave_stub.cpp`.
### JNI (Java-based disassemblers)
A Java class (`WarlockStaveBridge`) that allocates a DirectByteBuffer, passes it to the native library with zero-copy overhead, and receives JSON telemetry in return. See `bridges/WarlockStaveBridge.java`.
### Direct Library Link
Any application that can call C FFI functions can link against `libstave_core` directly. The public API consists of four functions:
```c
void* initialize_warlock_stave();
const char* stave_ingest_frame(void* ctx, const uint8_t* buf, size_t len, uint64_t rip, uint32_t eflags);
void free_stave_string(const char* str);
void destroy_warlock_stave(void* ctx);
```
Run `cargo doc --open` for full rustdoc with safety documentation.
---
## Future Work
- Hotkey-driven action HUD (F1-F10, Alt+L/B/D/N, Ctrl+G/T/Z) — currently documented but not wired to the egui event loop.
- Struct overlay parser for casting C-style struct definitions onto the hex viewport.
- Inline micro-assembler for patching opcodes directly from the UI.
- External scanner provider implementations (YARA-rust, ClamAV FFI).
- IPC response channel (currently sends structured analysis back to the host but the response path needs architecture decisions).
- Render-loop caching for firmware/IPC telemetry queries (currently queried every frame).
- macOS Endpoint Security Framework consumer.
