Dual-Engine Design

1. πŸ›‘οΈ Core Security Engine (The Muscle)

Technology: Python 3.9+
Purpose: Executes concrete security operations

Capabilities:

  • Packet Manipulation: Uses Scapy for deep packet inspection and crafting
  • Network Scanning: Integrates with Nmap for port scanning and service detection
  • Payload Delivery: Automated injection and testing of security payloads
  • Traffic Interception: Proxy integration with Burp Suite for man-in-the-middle analysis
  • Protocol Analysis: Deep inspection of network protocols and data streams

Design Philosophy:

  • Stateless and robust
  • Fail-safe by default
  • Does exactly what it's toldβ€”no surprises
  • Comprehensive logging for audit trails

Example Use Case:

# Security Engine performing network scan
from src.security_engine import NetworkScanner

scanner = NetworkScanner(target="192.168.1.0/24")
results = scanner.scan_ports([80, 443, 8080])
vulnerable_services = scanner.identify_vulnerabilities(results)

2. 🧠 AI Intelligence Layer (The Brain)

Technology: Python (LangChain/Ollama) + Node.js
Purpose: Analyzes context and makes intelligent decisions

Capabilities:

A. Attack Surface Analysis

  • Reads scan data from the Security Engine
  • Identifies "interesting" targets based on:
    • Service versions with known CVEs
    • Unusual port configurations
    • Legacy protocols still in use
    • Misconfigured services
  • Prioritizes targets by exploitability

B. Smart Payload Generation

  • Crafts payloads specific to the target technology stack
  • Example: "This looks like an older MongoDB instanceβ€”try these NoSQL injection vectors"
  • Adapts to application framework (Django, Flask, Express, etc.)
  • Considers defense mechanisms detected during reconnaissance

C. Risk Assessment

  • Scores vulnerabilities based on real-world exploitability
  • Goes beyond CVSS scores by considering:
    • Attack complexity
    • Available exploit code
    • Patch availability
    • Impact on mission objectives
    • Current mission phase constraints

D. Contextual Decision Making

  • Uses historical anomaly patterns from Adaptive Memory Store
  • Adjusts responses based on mission phase
  • Learns from previous incidents to improve detection

Privacy Guarantee:

  • 100% Local Processing: All AI models run via Ollama on your machine
  • No Cloud Calls: Sensitive scan data never leaves your infrastructure
  • Offline Capable: Works without internet connection
  • Audit Trail: All AI decisions are logged with reasoning traces

Example Use Case:

# AI Layer analyzing attack surface
from src.ai_agent import ThreatAnalyzer

analyzer = ThreatAnalyzer(model="llama3")
scan_results = load_scan_data("network_scan.json")

analysis = analyzer.analyze_attack_surface(scan_results)
# Output: {
#   "high_priority_targets": [...],
#   "recommended_payloads": [...],
#   "risk_scores": {...},
#   "reasoning": "Detected outdated Apache version 2.4.29..."
# }

Data Flow

  1. Telemetry Ingestion: Satellite telemetry streams into the system via Pathway
  2. Encoding: Data is embedded into vector representations for semantic analysis
  3. Memory Storage: Historical context is stored in the Adaptive Memory Store
  4. Anomaly Detection: AI agent analyzes current data against historical patterns
  5. Policy Evaluation: Mission phase policies determine appropriate response
  6. Action Orchestration: Response orchestrator executes recovery actions
  7. Feedback Loop: Action results feed back into memory for continuous learning
  8. Dashboard Update: Real-time updates pushed to monitoring interface

πŸ›‘οΈ Centralized Error Handling & Graceful Degradation

AstraGuard AI is designed to never crash. The system includes a comprehensive error handling layer that ensures resilience under all failure conditions.

Design Principles

  1. Fail Gracefully: Component failures trigger fallback behavior instead of system crashes
  2. Centralized Handling: All errors flow through a single error handling pipeline
  3. Structured Logging: Errors include full context (component, phase, telemetry state)
  4. Health Tracking: Real-time component health exposed to monitoring dashboard
  5. Smart Fallbacks: Each component has a defined degraded operating mode

Health Monitoring States

Each component reports one of three health states:

  • 🟒 HEALTHY: Operating normally with full functionality
  • 🟑 DEGRADED: Partially operational, using fallback behavior
  • πŸ”΄ FAILED: Component unavailable, critical functions impaired

Example: Handling Model Failure

from src.ai_agent import AnomalyDetector
from src.core.error_handler import handle_component_failure

try:
    detector = AnomalyDetector(model="llama3")
    result = detector.analyze(telemetry)
except ModelLoadError as e:
    # Graceful fallback to heuristic detection
    handle_component_failure("ai_model", e)
    detector = HeuristicDetector()  # Simple threshold-based detection
    result = detector.analyze(telemetry)
    result["mode"] = "degraded"

🧠 Operator Feedback Schema (#50)

Purpose: Type-safe data contract for human-in-the-loop learning loop. Enables operators to validate AI-recommended recovery actions and provide feedback for continuous improvement.

Schema - FeedbackEvent:

from models.feedback import FeedbackEvent, FeedbackLabel

event = FeedbackEvent(
    fault_id="power_f001",
    anomaly_type="power_subsystem",
    recovery_action="emergency_power_cycle",
    label=FeedbackLabel.CORRECT,
    mission_phase="NOMINAL_OPS",
    operator_notes="Recovered 2.3s - optimal response",
    confidence_score=0.95
)

Features:

  • βœ… Pydantic v2 validation with strict type checking
  • βœ… Mission phase enum validation (LAUNCH, DEPLOYMENT, NOMINAL_OPS, PAYLOAD_OPS, SAFE_MODE)
  • βœ… Feedback labels for multi-class classification (CORRECT, INSUFFICIENT, WRONG)
  • βœ… Confidence scoring (0.0-1.0) for operator certainty
  • βœ… Optional operator notes (max 500 chars) for context
  • βœ… Automatic timestamp generation with ISO format serialization
  • βœ… 100% test coverage with 12 comprehensive test cases
  • βœ… Compact JSON serialization (<300B/event) for efficient storage

Usage Example:

# Validate operator feedback
from models.feedback import FeedbackEvent, FeedbackLabel

feedback = FeedbackEvent(
    fault_id="thermal_001",
    anomaly_type="thermal_spike",
    recovery_action="heater_cooldown",
    label=FeedbackLabel.CORRECT,
    mission_phase="PAYLOAD_OPS",
    operator_notes="Action worked within 45 seconds"
)

# Serialize to JSON for storage/transmission
json_data = feedback.model_dump_json()
print(f"Event size: {len(json_data)} bytes")

# All validations enforced:
# - fault_id: 1-64 chars
# - anomaly_type: 1-64 chars
# - recovery_action: 1-128 chars
# - mission_phase: must match regex pattern
# - confidence_score: 0.0 ≀ score ≀ 1.0
# - operator_notes: max 500 chars (optional)

Validation Examples:

# βœ… Valid - all constraints satisfied
event = FeedbackEvent(
    fault_id="f123", anomaly_type="power",
    recovery_action="reset", label=FeedbackLabel.INSUFFICIENT,
    mission_phase="NOMINAL_OPS"
)

# ❌ Invalid - mission_phase must be uppercase
FeedbackEvent(..., mission_phase="nominal_ops")

# ❌ Invalid - confidence_score must be 0.0-1.0
FeedbackEvent(..., confidence_score=1.5)

# ❌ Invalid - operator_notes exceeds max_length
FeedbackEvent(..., operator_notes="x" * 501)

Blocking Issues:

  • #51: @log_feedback decorator integration
  • #52: Database storage layer
  • #53: Feedback aggregation analysis
  • #54: ML model retraining pipeline
  • #55: Dashboard feedback visualization
  • #56: Feedback export/reporting

πŸ“ Action Logging with @log_feedback Decorator (#51)

Purpose: Automatically capture recovery action results without modifying existing code. Provides non-blocking feedback event logging to pending store.

How It Works:

from security_engine.decorators import log_feedback

# Decorate any recovery function - no changes to logic needed
@log_feedback(fault_id="power_loss_001", anomaly_type="power_subsystem")
def emergency_power_cycle(system_state) -> bool:
    """Recovery action with automatic feedback logging."""
    # ... existing recovery logic ...
    return success  # True/False

Automatic Behavior:

  1. Execution: Function runs with original logic unchanged
  2. Capture: Result (True/False) β†’ confidence score (1.0/0.5)
  3. Store: FeedbackEvent appended to feedback_pending.json
  4. Non-blocking: Errors in logging don't affect recovery

Features:

  • βœ… Thread-safe atomic appends to feedback_pending.json
  • βœ… Auto-extracts mission_phase from system_state
  • βœ… Confidence scoring: success=1.0, failure=0.5
  • βœ… Preserves all return values (True, False, None, etc.)
  • βœ… Non-blocking error handling (logging errors don't break recovery)
  • βœ… 20+ comprehensive tests including concurrency chaos
  • βœ… 100% code coverage

Example - Recovery Action Sequence:

@log_feedback("thermal_spike", "thermal")
def activate_passive_cooling(state):
    return True  # Auto-logged: confidence_score=1.0

@log_feedback("thermal_spike_fail", "thermal")
def thermal_shutdown(state):
    return False  # Auto-logged: confidence_score=0.5

# Usage - both auto-log to feedback_pending.json
state = SystemState(mission_phase="PAYLOAD_OPS")
activate_passive_cooling(state)  # βœ… Logged
thermal_shutdown(state)          # βœ… Logged (even on failure)

Pending Store Format (feedback_pending.json):

[
  {
    "fault_id": "power_loss_001",
    "anomaly_type": "power_subsystem",
    "recovery_action": "emergency_power_cycle",
    "mission_phase": "NOMINAL_OPS",
    "confidence_score": 1.0,
    "timestamp": "2026-01-04T14:30:22.123456"
  }
]

Integration with Policy Engine:

# Any recovery function can be decorated
from security_engine.decorators import log_feedback

# In backend/recovery_orchestrator.py or policy_engine.py:
@log_feedback("circuit_break_001", "circuit_breaker")
async def circuit_recovery(state):
    return await _perform_circuit_reset(state)

@log_feedback("cache_purge_001", "cache")
def cache_recovery(state):
    return _clear_cache(state)

Blocking Issues:

  • #52: Consume feedback_pending.json via CLI
  • #53-56: Feedback analytics and retraining pipeline

    # Visualization
    fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 5))
    
    ax1.bar(type_counts.keys(), type_counts.values())
    ax1.set_title("Anomalies by Type")
    ax1.set_xlabel("Type")
    ax1.set_ylabel("Count")
    ax1.tick_params(axis='x', rotation=45)
    
    ax2.pie(phase_counts.values(), labels=phase_counts.keys(), autopct='%1.1f%%')

# Create diagnostic script
cat > diagnose.py << 'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import subprocess
import requests
import json

def run_command(cmd, description):
    """Run command and return success status"""
    try:
        result = subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=10)
        success = result.returncode == 0
        print(f"{'βœ…' if success else '❌'} {description}: {'OK' if success else 'FAILED'}")
        if not success:
            print(f"   Error: {result.stderr.strip()}")
        return success
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ {description}: FAILED")
        print(f"   Error: {e}")
        return False

def check_service(url, name):
    """Check if service is responding"""
    try:
        response = requests.get(url, timeout=5)
        success = response.status_code == 200

Common Installation Issues

Issue: Installation fails with "Python 3.9+ required"

Solution:

# Check current version
python --version

# If too old, install Python 3.11
# On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv

# On macOS:
brew install python@3.11

# On Windows:
# Download from python.org

Verify:

python3.11 --version
python3.11 -m venv venv
πŸ“¦ Dependency Installation Fails

Issue: pip install -r requirements.txt fails with compilation errors

Solution:

# Upgrade pip and setuptools
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

# Install system dependencies first
# On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install python3-dev build-essential

# On macOS:
xcode-select --install

# Retry installation
pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternative: Install dependencies individually to identify problem package

pip install fastapi
pip install pydantic
pip install scapy
# ... etc
πŸ”₯ Streamlit Command Not Found

Issue: streamlit: command not found

Solution:

# Ensure virtual environment is activated
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
venv\Scripts\activate     # Windows

# Install Streamlit explicitly
pip install streamlit

# Verify installation
streamlit --version

# If still not found, use module syntax
python -m streamlit run dashboard/app.py
🌐 Port Already in Use

Issue: "Address already in use" when starting dashboard/API

Solution:

# Find process using port 8501 (Streamlit)
lsof -i :8501          # Linux/macOS
netstat -ano | findstr :8501  # Windows

# Kill the process
kill -9 <PID>          # Linux/macOS
taskkill /PID <PID> /F # Windows

# Or run on different port
streamlit run dashboard/app.py --server.port 8502
python cli.py api --port 9000
πŸ€– Ollama Connection Fails

Issue: "Cannot connect to Ollama server"

Solution:

# Check if Ollama is running
curl http://localhost:11434/api/version

# If not running, start it
# Linux/macOS:
ollama serve

# Check if model is installed
ollama list

# Pull model if missing
ollama pull llama3

# Update .env with correct host
OLLAMA_HOST=http://localhost:11434
πŸ—„οΈ MongoDB Connection Errors

Issue: "Cannot connect to MongoDB"

Solution:

# Check if MongoDB is running
# Linux:
sudo systemctl status mongodb

# macOS:
brew services list

# If not running, start it
# Linux:
sudo systemctl start mongodb

# macOS:
brew services start mongodb-community

# Or use Docker:
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb mongo:latest

# Verify connection
mongosh  # Should connect successfully
πŸ“Š Dashboard Shows No Data

Issue: Dashboard loads but displays no telemetry

Solution:

# Generate sample telemetry
python cli.py telemetry --duration 60

# Check if API is running
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/status

# Verify configuration
python cli.py config --show | grep API_

# Check logs for errors
python cli.py logs --level ERROR

# Restart dashboard with debug mode
python cli.py dashboard --debug
⚑ API Tests Failing

Issue: Tests fail with connection or timeout errors

Solution:

# Run tests in verbose mode
pytest -v tests/

# Run specific failing test
pytest tests/integration/test_api.py::test_telemetry_endpoint -v

# Check test environment
python -m pytest --version

# Reset test database
python cli.py test --reset-db

# Ensure no conflicting processes
pkill -f "python.*api"
python cli.py api &
sleep 2
pytest tests/
πŸ” Permission Denied Errors

Issue: "Permission denied" when accessing files/directories

Solution:

# Check file permissions
ls -la

# Fix permissions for project directory
chmod -R u+rw .

# For log directory
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER logs/

# For pip installation issues
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
🧠 AI Model Performance Issues

Issue: AI analysis is very slow or times out

Solution:

# Use faster model
ollama pull llama3:70b-instruct-q4_K_M  # Quantized version

# Update config
nano config/model_config.yaml
# Set: model_name: "llama3:70b-instruct-q4_K_M"

# Allocate more resources
# In .env:
OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=4
OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS=2

# Monitor resource usage
ollama ps

# Reduce context window
# In model_config.yaml:
context_window: 2048  # Instead of 4096
πŸ“¦ Docker Build Fails

Issue: Docker image build fails

Solution:

# Clean Docker cache
docker system prune -a

# Build with verbose output
docker build -t astraguard-ai . --progress=plain

# Build with no cache
docker build -t astraguard-ai . --no-cache

# Check Docker disk space
docker system df

# Increase Docker memory
# Docker Desktop -> Settings -> Resources -> Memory: 4GB+
