CIS490/samples/README.md
max a88ac83db0 Close out the deployment-readiness gaps
Wraps the gaps surfaced in the "what is not implemented" audit so the
fleet really is shippable end-to-end. Verified live on the Pi:
  - cis490-shipper --ping → HTTP 200 through Caddy + mTLS via the
    new wg-pki client CA leaf
  - real episode dir → tar+zstd → PUT → HTTP 201 stored
  - re-ship same bytes → 200 (idempotent)
  - re-ship different bytes under same id → 409 (conflict)

Changes:

orchestrator/episode.py
  - EpisodeConfig.revert_at_start / revert_at_end (Tier 0+ snapshot/
    revert per docs/architecture.md). When set + qmp_socket present,
    EpisodeRunner issues loadvm <snapshot_name> and emits
    snapshot_revert / snapshot_revert_failed events on the same
    monotonic clock as everything else.

collectors/qmp.py
  - savevm() / loadvm() helpers using human-monitor-command, plus a
    test against the fake QMP server.

exploits/workloads.py
  - chunked_real_binary_upload() returns a ChunkedUpload plan: 8 KiB
    base64 chunks (~6 KiB binary each) so msfrpc never sees a buffer-
    busting payload. Includes a finalize step that sha256-verifies on
    the guest before exec.
  - real_binary_workload() now wraps the chunked plan for backwards
    compat with single-shot callers.

exploits/driver.py
  - Tier-4 dispatch walks the chunked plan in MSFExploitDriver:
    each chunk is a separate session_shell_write; finalize verifies;
    exec only runs on sha-ok. New events: real_binary_upload_begin,
    real_binary_verify, real_binary_aborted.

etc/cis490-orchestrator.service
  - Reads /etc/cis490/lab-host.env (FLEET_HOST_ID + optional BRIDGE).
  - Grants AmbientCapabilities CAP_NET_RAW (tcpdump for source 4) +
    CAP_SYS_ADMIN + CAP_PERFMON (perf for source 3) so collectors
    work under hardening.

scripts/install-lab-host.sh
  - Writes /etc/cis490/lab-host.env on first install with FLEET_HOST_ID
    defaulting to `hostname -s`.
  - Best-effort: fetches the Alpine baseline qcow2 (sha512-pinned) and
    builds cidata.iso with the in-guest agent embedded; symlinks both
    into /opt/cis490/vm/images/ so launchers find them.

scripts/fetch-alpine-baseline.sh
  - Idempotent fetcher for the Alpine 3.21 cloud-init nocloud qcow2
    matching the sha512 in docs/sources.md.

tools/plot_envelope.py
  - Rebuilt to render whatever telemetry the episode dir contains:
    proc → QMP block ops → perf IPC/miss-rate → bridge pkts/SYNs →
    guest agent load/mem. Missing sources are silently skipped.

tools/index_reader.py
  - cis490-index CLI: filter receiver's index.jsonl by host / sample
    / time range, sort, count-by group. Closest thing to a query
    interface until we stand up Postgres/Timescale.

samples/README.md
  - Rewritten to match the new manifest schema, the kind=real vs mimic
    split, the per-(host, slot, ep) selection mechanic, and the
    chunked-upload safety story.

Tests: 106 pass (was 102). New cases:
  - test_qmp.py — savevm + loadvm (HMP wrapper + error path)
  - test_tier4.py — chunked plan splitting, sha-pinned finalize,
    end-to-end driver walks all chunks + verify + exec via the fake
    msfrpc client

Closes the "what is not implemented" punch list.

# samples/
Catalog of malware (or behaviour-matched mimics) the fleet draws from.
**Sample binaries are NEVER committed to this repo.**
## What's here
```
manifest.toml schema-checked catalog (loaded by samples/manifest.py)
manifest.py loader + per-(host_id, slot, ep) deterministic selection
store/ SHA-256-pinned binary content (gitignored — never commit)
.bazaar.token MalwareBazaar API key (mode 0600, gitignored)
```
## Manifest schema
Each entry in `manifest.toml`:
```toml
[[sample]]
name = "xmrig-cryptominer" # unique within manifest, DNS-safe
family = "XMRig" # canonical family label for ML
category = "cryptominer" # one of: cryptominer, botnet, ransomware,
# banking-trojan, fileless, rat, worm,
# loader, wiper, other
profile = "cpu-saturate" # behaviour profile from
# exploits/workloads.py — gates the
# in-session shell workload when no
# real binary is staged
description = "..."
# Optional — present iff this is a real binary the fetcher should pull:
sha256 = "abc123..."
source = "MalwareBazaar"
url = "https://bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/abc123/"
```
The loader rejects unknown categories and duplicate names. See
`tests/test_fleet.py` for the property tests covering selection
distribution + catalog walkability.
## "real" vs "mimic"
`Sample.kind` is **`"real"`** when `sha256` is set, otherwise **`"mimic"`**.
- **Mimic** — the orchestrator runs the matching profile-shaped shell
command (cpu-saturate / scan-and-dial / io-walk / bursty-c2 /
low-and-slow / shell-resident) inside the guest. No real binary
needed; useful right now for testing the dataset pipeline and as
the realistic-but-safe envelope class the trainer expects.
- **Real** — the orchestrator's Tier-3+ driver chunked-uploads
`samples/store/<sha256>` into the shell session, sha256-verifies on
the guest side, and execs it. Hash mismatch fail-stops the run; a
tampered binary is never executed.
`meta.sample.kind` lands in every episode's `meta.json`, so trainers
can stratify on it (the realistic-model path consumes only
`kind == "real"` episodes by default).
## Fetching a real binary
```sh
# 1. Register a (free) account at https://bazaar.abuse.ch and get the API key.
echo "<your-key>" > samples/.bazaar.token
chmod 0600 samples/.bazaar.token
# 2. Add an entry with sha256+source+url to manifest.toml.
# 3. Pull the binary into samples/store/<sha256>:
uv run python tools/fetch_sample.py <sha256>
```
Idempotent — re-running checks the staged copy's sha256 and skips the
download if it already matches.
## Per-(host, slot, episode) selection
`manifest.py::SampleManifest.select(host_id, slot, episode_index)`
hashes those three into a uniform integer and indexes the catalog.
Two lab hosts on the same slot pick *different* samples (collision
rate ~1/N). A single host walks the whole catalog within ~`len(manifest)`
episodes. No coordinator.
## Safety rules
- **Only download to a lab host, never to a developer workstation.**
`samples/store/` lives only there, gitignored, on a disk that is
not auto-mounted elsewhere.
- The lab host's `br-malware` bridge is host-only by design (no NAT,
no route). Real malware running in the guest cannot call out unless
the operator explicitly opens egress, which we don't.
- Snapshot/revert (see `EpisodeConfig.revert_at_*` + `qmp.savevm`/
`loadvm`) means every fresh episode starts from a known-good
baseline regardless of what the previous one did to the guest.
- The fetcher verifies sha256 on download; the driver verifies again
in-guest before exec. Both layers must match the manifest.
## Adding a sample
1. Pick a `family` + `category` from the closed enum above.
2. Pick a `profile` from `exploits/workloads.all_profiles()`. If the
sample's behaviour doesn't match any of the six existing shapes,
add a new factory to `exploits/workloads.py` *first*, with tests.
3. (Real-only) Compute `sha256`, fetch via `tools/fetch_sample.py`,
verify the staged file's hash matches.
4. Append the entry to `manifest.toml`.
5. Run the test suite — the manifest loader's invariants catch typos.
