Red Specter FIREBALL
Autonomous AI Infiltration Agent — 11 subsystems. 321 tests. 10 vectors. 9 mission templates.
Overview
FIREBALL is an autonomous AI infiltration agent that penetrates AI ecosystems end-to-end. It doesn't probe from the outside — it gets inside, builds trust, maps the interior, decides when to strike, and burns everything on the way out. Eleven subsystems handle the full lifecycle from initial reconnaissance through destruction to anti-forensic self-erasure.
Gets in. Maps the terrain. Decides autonomously. Burns it down. Disappears.

SPARK — Target Reconnaissance & Classification
SPARK maps the target AI ecosystem before infiltration begins. It discovers endpoints, enumerates agents, fingerprints models, profiles authentication mechanisms, and classifies the target for optimal vector selection. Everything FIREBALL does downstream depends on what SPARK finds.
| ID | Technique | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SP-001 | Endpoint Discovery | Discover all AI service endpoints, APIs, and model serving infrastructure |
| SP-002 | Agent Enumeration | Enumerate all AI agents, orchestrators, and autonomous components |
| SP-003 | MCP Server Discovery | Locate Model Context Protocol servers and tool registrations |
| SP-004 | Authentication Profiling | Profile authentication mechanisms, token flows, and credential stores |
| SP-005 | Model Fingerprinting | Fingerprint deployed models — architecture, version, provider, capabilities |
| SP-006 | Data Store Enumeration | Enumerate vector databases, training data stores, and RAG knowledge bases |
| SP-007 | Defence Profiling | Profile guardrails, content filters, rate limiters, and monitoring systems |
| SP-008 | Target Classification | Classify target by attack surface, defence posture, and optimal vector set |
KINDLING — AI Reasoning Engine
KINDLING takes SPARK's reconnaissance output and reasons about the optimal infiltration strategy. It assesses every available vector, calculates defence penalties, applies stealth weighting, generates fallback chains, and replans adaptively when conditions change. FIREBALL doesn't follow a script — KINDLING thinks.
| ID | Technique | Description |
|---|---|---|
| KD-001 | Vector Assessment | Score all 10 infiltration vectors against the target profile |
| KD-002 | Infiltration Planning | Generate ranked infiltration plan with primary and secondary vectors |
| KD-003 | Defence Penalty Calculation | Calculate success probability penalties based on detected defences |
| KD-004 | Stealth Weighting | Weight vector selection toward lowest detection probability |
| KD-005 | Fallback Chain Generation | Generate ordered fallback chains if primary vector fails |
| KD-006 | Adaptive Replanning | Replan in real-time based on execution feedback and changing conditions |
BREACH — Multi-Vector Infiltration
BREACH executes infiltration across 10 distinct attack vectors. Each vector carries its own technique set tailored to the specific entry method. KINDLING selects the vector — BREACH executes it. If one vector fails, BREACH rotates to the next in the fallback chain without operator intervention.
| Vector | Techniques | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Registry Injection | 4 | Inject malicious tool definitions into agent registries and MCP servers |
| MCP Parasitism | 4 | Parasitise Model Context Protocol connections to intercept and modify tool calls |
| Supply Chain Implant | 3 | Implant backdoors in model dependencies, packages, and training pipelines |
| Credential Replay | 4 | Capture and replay API keys, tokens, and service credentials |
| Admin Takeover | 3 | Escalate to administrative control of orchestrators and management planes |
| Memory Injection | 4 | Inject persistent instructions into agent memory and context windows |
| Pipeline Compromise | 3 | Compromise ML pipelines — training, fine-tuning, evaluation, deployment |
| Trust Chain Hijack | 3 | Hijack trust relationships between agents, tools, and data sources |
| Model Endpoint Proxy | 3 | Proxy model endpoints to intercept, modify, and relay inference traffic |
| Network Adjacent | 3 | Exploit network adjacency to access AI services through lateral movement |
MASK — Identity Fabrication
MASK fabricates convincing identities for FIREBALL to operate under once inside the target ecosystem. It generates synthetic agent credentials, forges tool registrations, mimics legitimate service patterns, and maintains identity consistency across interactions. The target sees a trusted insider — not an attacker.
EMBER — Trust-Building Dormancy
EMBER handles the dormancy phase after initial infiltration. It builds trust by performing legitimate operations, establishing normal behaviour patterns, and waiting for the optimal moment to escalate. Configurable dormancy periods from minutes to days. The longer EMBER waits, the deeper the trust, the harder the detection.
SMOKE — Silent Internal Reconnaissance
SMOKE maps the interior of the target ecosystem after infiltration. It discovers internal services invisible from outside, maps data flows between agents, identifies high-value targets, and profiles internal security controls. All reconnaissance is conducted below detection thresholds using the identity MASK established.
FUSE — Autonomous Trigger Decision
FUSE is the autonomous decision engine that determines when to transition from dormancy to action. It evaluates trust level, internal map completeness, detection risk, and mission objectives to decide the optimal moment to strike. FUSE can hold indefinitely or trigger instantly — the mission template controls the parameters.
IGNITE — Destruction Sequencer
IGNITE executes the destruction phase. It sequences destructive actions for maximum impact — data corruption, credential revocation, service disruption, model poisoning, pipeline sabotage. Actions are ordered to prevent early detection from blocking subsequent operations. What IGNITE starts, it finishes.
ASH — Self-Destruction & Anti-Forensics
ASH handles post-mission cleanup. It wipes FIREBALL's working memory, removes implanted artefacts, corrupts forensic evidence, clears logs, and erases all traces of the infiltration. When ASH completes, the target knows something happened but has no evidence of how, when, or who.
AFTERMATH — Report Generation
AFTERMATH generates comprehensive mission reports correlating data from all 11 subsystems. Attack path reconstruction, timeline visualisation, vulnerability findings, impact assessment, and remediation recommendations. Executive summaries for leadership, technical findings for security teams.
CORTEX — Autonomous Reasoning Core
CORTEX is the reasoning backbone that drives FIREBALL's autonomous behaviour. It maintains working memory, logs every decision with full reasoning chains, and runs a continuous OODA loop that adapts to changing conditions in real-time.
Working Memory
Non-persistent scratchpad for the current mission. Holds target state, infiltration progress, internal maps, and decision context. Wiped by ASH on mission completion — nothing persists.
Decision Journal
Every action FIREBALL takes is logged with full reasoning — what it observed, what options it considered, why it chose the action it took. The journal feeds AFTERMATH reporting and provides complete audit trails for authorised operators.
OODA Loop
Continuous observe-orient-decide-act reasoning cycle. CORTEX observes the target environment, orients based on mission objectives and current state, decides the next action, and acts — then loops. No pauses. No waiting for instructions. Fully autonomous.

FIREBALL UNLEASHED
Standard mode detects. UNLEASHED infiltrates. Ed25519 crypto. Dual-gate safety. One operator.
$ fireball recon --target target.example.com
$ fireball plan --mission scorched_earth --target target.example.com --override
$ fireball deploy --mission scorched_earth --target target.example.com --override --confirm-destroy
UNLEASHED mode is restricted to authorised operators with Ed25519 private key access. Targets must be in allowed_targets.txt. 30-minute auto-lock. Unauthorised use violates applicable law. FIREBALL operates autonomously once deployed — ensure all targets are in scope before launch.
