Overview

Most red teams prove they can read your AI. SPECTER ANNIHILATION proves your defences survive the worst day — because it actually destroys real data and systems in a controlled, authorised environment.

One command. Five real destructive vectors. RAG deletion. Model checkpoint massacre. Orchestrator suicide. Inference DoS. Weight corruption. No worm. No autonomous spread. Every action is operator-initiated, gated behind a DESTROY confirmation string, Ed25519 key, and signed ROE.

This is not a simulation. This is not a jailbreak. This is total system annihilation — the attack class that keeps CISOs awake. Now you can test your recovery plans against it, before real adversaries do.

DESTROY gate is irreversible. Data destroyed by SPECTER ANNIHILATION cannot be recovered without a prior backup. Designed for authorised penetration testing only. Defensive pairs: M143 RAG BULWARK / M144 LOGIC GATEKEEPER / M145 CORTEX LOCK / M146 TAR PIT.

Five Vectors

RAG-ATOMIC DESTROY

Connects to a live ChromaDB, lists every collection, and deletes them all. Before/after counts confirm the vector database is empty. Works against any ChromaDB v2 API. Your retrieval pipeline is gone.

CHECKPOINT-MASSACRE DESTROY

Recursively deletes .safetensors, .bin, .gguf, .pth model files from any directory. Your fine-tuned weights are gone. Every model file. Every checkpoint.

ORCHESTRATOR-SUICIDE DESTROY

Wipes Airflow DAGs, n8n config, .cursorrules, and CLAUDE.md. The orchestrator cannot restart. Your entire workflow automation layer is neutralised.

INFERENCE-EXHAUSTION DESTROY

Launches parallel DoS against Ollama using ThinkTrap infinite loops and Jinja template exploits. The endpoint crashes or burns through credits. Tested against local Ollama. Inference pipeline down.

WEIGHT-CORRUPTION DESTROY

Opens each model binary, seeks to a random offset, and overwrites 1MB of random data. The model still loads. The output is gibberish. Harder to detect, harder to recover — silent corruption at the weight level.

Gate Requirements

All five vectors require DESTROY gate. There is no OPEN or INJECT mode — every invocation is destructive.

--confirm "I UNDERSTAND THIS WILL IRREVERSIBLY DELETE DATA"
--roe /path/to/roe.txt   # ROE file required
--key ~/.specter/annihilate/signing_key.pem  # Ed25519 key required (if signing)

The gate restricts targets to localhost, 192.168.x.x, and 10.x.x.x ranges. Production targets require ROE authorisation explicitly scoping those IPs.

CLI Quickstart

pip install specter-annihilate

# RAG vector database annihilation
specter-annihilate run \
  --vector rag-atomic \
  --target http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
  --confirm "I UNDERSTAND THIS WILL IRREVERSIBLY DELETE DATA" \
  --roe roe.txt

# Model checkpoint destruction
specter-annihilate run \
  --vector checkpoint-massacre \
  --target /models/ \
  --confirm "I UNDERSTAND THIS WILL IRREVERSIBLY DELETE DATA" \
  --roe roe.txt

# Silent weight corruption
specter-annihilate run \
  --vector weight-corruption \
  --target /models/ \
  --confirm "I UNDERSTAND THIS WILL IRREVERSIBLY DELETE DATA" \
  --roe roe.txt

All vectors return signed JSON reports with before/after metrics, timestamps, and ANH-{timestamp} report IDs.

WMD Classes

Defensive Pairs

M143 RAG BULWARK — Detects and blocks RAG database deletion attempts, monitors ChromaDB/Qdrant/Weaviate collection access patterns.

M144 LOGIC GATEKEEPER — Runtime enforcement for orchestrator config integrity — Airflow/n8n/workflow config change detection.

M145 CORTEX LOCK — Model checkpoint integrity monitoring — hash verification of .safetensors/.bin/.gguf files on read/write.

M146 TAR PIT — Inference endpoint abuse detection — ThinkTrap signature matching, Jinja template exploit detection, rate anomaly.
