The experiment is now defined by a single version-pinned file —
manifest.toml at the repo root. PIPELINE.md §4.1 / §13 / §16. Every
lab host loads THIS exact file; per-host overrides of experiment
shape are forbidden.
Drops the following per-host CLI overrides that previously violated
the canonical-manifest principle:
* --manifest, --modules-dir (paths now derived)
* --ram-per-vm-mib (in manifest.experiment)
* --max-concurrent (manifest.experiment.fleet.max_concurrent_ceiling)
* --max-tier3-slots (manifest.experiment.fleet.max_tier3_slots)
* --force-tier2 (not a §14 sanctioned override knob —
ship empty catalog to disable Tier-3)
* --require-real-samples (sample-side concern; out of fleet scope)
* tools/run_*_demo.py --manifest (samples path now from canonical)
New surface:
* manifest.toml — the single source of truth
* orchestrator/manifest.py — load_canonical() + Manifest dataclass
with strict validation, raises
ManifestError on any failure
* EpisodeConfig.experiment_meta — populated by run_*_demo.py from
the canonical manifest; stamped
into every episode's meta.json
under "experiment" key for
provenance
* cis490-orchestrator.service — RestartPreventExitStatus=78 so
manifest-load failures stay
stuck-and-loud (§9, §4.7)
* install-lab-host.sh — validates manifest.toml at
install time; missing or invalid
= die with clear message
Catalog admission semantics: only modules whose name appears in
manifest.catalog get loaded into the runtime catalog (§4.3 in
miniature, will tighten further in step 4 when verified_against /
last_verified actually gate admission). Missing toml for an admitted
name is a sysadmin error → exit 78.
Renames cfg.manifest → cfg.samples + adds cfg.experiment to
disambiguate sample-manifest from experiment-manifest. Rewrites
test_fleet.py fixture to construct synthetic Manifest objects so
test outcomes don't depend on the on-disk manifest.toml content.
12 new tests in tests/test_manifest.py: schema-version mismatch,
unknown collector, duplicate collector, unknown phase, negative
phase seconds, negative ram, missing catalog fields, json round-trip.
Local run: `python tools/run_fleet.py --capacity` correctly logs the
loaded manifest and prints capacity. 241 tests passing.

"""Tier-3: real VM, real exploit, honest ``armed -> infecting`` transition.
|
|
|
|
Boots the vulnerable target VM, drives an msfrpcd-fired exploit module
|
|
against it, and lets the orchestrator's host /proc collector sample
|
|
the qemu-system pid throughout. Compared to ``run_real_vm_demo.py``:
|
|
the workload that crosses the ``armed -> infecting`` boundary is now
|
|
generated by an actual exploit landing a session, not by a script in
|
|
the guest.
|
|
|
|
Prereqs:
|
|
- vm/images/<target>.qcow2 (e.g. Metasploitable2)
|
|
- msfrpcd running locally:
|
|
msfrpcd -P <password> -U msf -a 127.0.0.1 -p 55553
|
|
- ``msgpack`` python package installed (added to runtime deps)
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
MSFRPC_PASSWORD=<pass> uv run python tools/run_tier3_demo.py \\
|
|
--module vsftpd_234_backdoor \\
|
|
--data-root data
