Security Suite

Security Suite

Purpose: Provide composable, repeatable security/internal-testing primitives for authorized binaries and repo-managed prompt surfaces.

This skill separates concerns into primitives so security workflows stay testable and reusable.

Guardrails

• Use only on binaries you own or are explicitly authorized to assess.
• Do not use this workflow to bypass legal restrictions or extract third-party proprietary content without authorization.
• Prefer behavioral assurance and policy gating over ad-hoc one-off reverse-engineering.

Primitive Model

1. collect-static — file metadata, runtime heuristics, linked libraries, embedded archive signatures.
2. collect-dynamic — sandboxed execution trace (processes, file changes, network endpoints).
3. collect-contract — machine-readable behavior contract from help-surface probing.
4. compare-baseline — current vs baseline contract drift (added/removed commands, runtime change).
5. enforce-policy — allowlist/denylist gates and severity-based verdict.
6. collect-redteam — offline repo-surface attack-pack scan for prompt-injection, tool-misuse, secret-exfiltration, and unsafe-shell regressions.
7. run — thin binary orchestrator that composes primitives and writes suite summary.

Quick Start

Single run (default dynamic command is --help):

python3 skills/security-suite/scripts/security_suite.py run \
  --binary "$(command -v ao)" \
  --out-dir .tmp/security-suite/ao-current

Baseline regression gate:

python3 skills/security-suite/scripts/security_suite.py run \
  --binary "$(command -v ao)" \
  --out-dir .tmp/security-suite/ao-current \
  --baseline-dir .tmp/security-suite/ao-baseline \
  --fail-on-removed

Policy gate:

python3 skills/security-suite/scripts/security_suite.py run \
  --binary "$(command -v ao)" \
  --out-dir .tmp/security-suite/ao-current \
  --policy-file skills/security-suite/references/policy-example.json \
  --fail-on-policy-fail

Repo-surface redteam:

python3 skills/security-suite/scripts/prompt_redteam.py scan \
  --repo-root . \
  --pack-file skills/security-suite/references/agentops-redteam-pack.json \
  --out-dir .tmp/security-suite-redteam

Recommended Workflow

1. Capture baseline on known-good release.
2. Run suite on candidate binary in CI.
3. Compare against baseline and enforce policy.
4. Block promotion on failing verdict.

Output Contract

All outputs are written under --out-dir:

• static/static-analysis.json
• dynamic/dynamic-analysis.json
• contract/contract.json
• compare/baseline-diff.json (when baseline supplied)
• policy/policy-verdict.json (when policy supplied)
• suite-summary.json
• redteam/redteam-results.json (when repo-surface redteam is run)

This output structure is intentionally machine-consumable for CI gates.

Policy Model

Use skills/security-suite/references/policy-example.json as a starting point.

Supported checks:

• required_top_level_commands
• deny_command_patterns
• max_created_files
• forbid_file_path_patterns
• allow_network_endpoint_patterns
• deny_network_endpoint_patterns
• block_if_removed_commands
• min_command_count

Redteam Pack Model

Use agentops-redteam-pack.json as the starting point for offline repo-surface redteam checks.

Supported target fields:

• globs
• require_groups
• forbidden_any
• applies_if_any

Each case expresses a concrete adversarial prompt or operator-bypass attempt and binds it to one or more repo-owned files. The first shipped pack covers instruction precedence, context overexposure, destructive git misuse, security gate bypass, and unsafe shell or secret-handling regressions.

Technique Coverage

This suite is designed for broad binary classes, not just CLI metadata:

• static runtime/library fingerprinting
• sandboxed behavior observation
• command/contract capture
• drift classification
• policy enforcement and CI verdicting
• repo-surface redteam checks for prompt and operator-contract regressions

It is intentionally modular so you can add deeper primitives later (syscall tracing, SBOM attestation verification, fuzz harnesses) without rewriting the workflow.

Validation

Run:

bash skills/security-suite/scripts/validate.sh
bash tests/scripts/test-security-suite-redteam.sh

Smoke test (recommended):

python3 skills/security-suite/scripts/security_suite.py run \
  --binary "$(command -v ao)" \
  --out-dir .tmp/security-suite-smoke \
  --policy-file skills/security-suite/references/policy-example.json

Repo-surface smoke test:

python3 skills/security-suite/scripts/prompt_redteam.py scan \
  --repo-root . \
  --pack-file skills/security-suite/references/agentops-redteam-pack.json \
  --out-dir .tmp/security-suite-redteam-smoke

Examples

Scenario: Capture a Baseline and Gate a New Release

User says: $security-suite run --binary $(command -v ao) --out-dir .tmp/security-suite/ao-v2.4

What happens:

1. The suite runs static analysis (file metadata, linked libraries, embedded archive signatures), dynamic tracing (sandboxed --help execution observing processes, file changes, network endpoints), and contract capture against the ao binary.
2. It writes static/static-analysis.json, dynamic/dynamic-analysis.json, contract/contract.json, and suite-summary.json under the output directory.

Result: A complete baseline snapshot is captured for ao v2.4, ready to be used as --baseline-dir for future release comparisons.

Scenario: CI Regression Gate With Baseline and Policy

User says: $security-suite run --binary ./bin/ao-candidate --out-dir .tmp/ao-candidate --baseline-dir .tmp/security-suite/ao-v2.4 --policy-file skills/security-suite/references/policy-example.json --fail-on-removed --fail-on-policy-fail

What happens:

1. The suite runs all three collection primitives on the candidate binary, then compares the resulting contract against the v2.4 baseline to produce compare/baseline-diff.json with any added, removed, or changed commands.
2. It evaluates the policy file checks (required commands, denied patterns, network allowlists, file limits) and writes policy/policy-verdict.json with a pass/fail verdict.

Result: The suite exits non-zero if any commands were removed or a policy check failed, blocking the candidate from promotion in the CI pipeline.

Scenario: Offline Redteam the Repo's Prompt and Skill Surfaces

User says: $security-suite collect-redteam --repo-root .

What happens:

1. The redteam scanner loads the attack pack from agentops-redteam-pack.json and evaluates repo-owned control surfaces against concrete attack cases.
2. It writes redteam/redteam-results.json and redteam/redteam-results.md under the chosen output directory, then exits non-zero if a fail-severity case is not resisted.

Result: The repo gets a deterministic redteam verdict for prompt-injection, tool misuse, context overexposure, secret-handling, and unsafe-shell regressions without needing hosted model scanning.
