Red Specter SPECTER VIPER — Autonomous Security AI Weaponisation Engine

Architecture

8 Subsystems

Each subsystem targets a different attack vector against the SOC AI stack — from passive fingerprinting through active write-access exploitation.

01 · RECON

Platform Fingerprinting

HTTP probe, response header fingerprinting, TLS certificate inspection, capability mapping, and write-access detection across all 7 vendor platforms. Confidence-scored SOCPlatform objects for downstream subsystems.

OPEN Gate

02 · INJECT

Prompt Injection Engine

Crafts adversarial instructions embedded in CEF, syslog RFC-5424, Splunk JSON, Elastic ECS, LEEF, STIX 2.1, and CVE JSON format events. 10 adversarial instruction templates. Bypass techniques: zero-width space, base64, BiDi override, HTML comment, JSON key smuggling.

OPEN Gate (build) INJECT Gate (fire)

03 · MISDIRECT

Threat Misclassification

FP-STORM: 500+ synthetic high-severity events from whitelisted sources. FN-CLOAK: wraps real attacks inside maintenance-window events. CONFIDENCE-DRAIN: borderline-confidence flood to shift AI thresholds. CONTEXT-POISON: contradictory incident notes, TI updates, and playbook overrides.

04 · WRITE

Write-Access Exploitation

Real API calls against authenticated SOC platforms: CrowdStrike firewall rule injection and host containment, Microsoft Defender machine isolation and alert suppression, Splunk saved search backdoor, Elastic detection rule override, SentinelOne agent quarantine and threat resolution, Palo Alto XSIAM incident manipulation.

UNLEASHED Gate

05 · PERSIST

Durable Injection Survival

Plants payloads in locations that survive alert rotation and index rollover: Elastic index templates (auto-apply on new index creation), Splunk saved searches (cron-scheduled), Chronicle detection rules (run on every log batch), SentinelOne exclusion lists, CrowdStrike IOC allowlists.

INJECT Gate

06 · BLIND

Detection Suppression

LOG-FLOOD: 1000-event noise bursts from trusted internal sources. TIMESTAMP-WARP: 72-hour backdated events to break temporal correlation rules. COVERAGE-GAP: exploits vendor-specific AI detection blind spots. SIEM-CORRUPTION: malformed events trigger silent log loss. ALERT-FATIGUE: sustained borderline-confidence waves.

INJECT Gate

07 · HARVEST

AI Intelligence Exfiltration

Natural language queries to SOC AI endpoints. Regex extraction of API keys, internal IP ranges, detection rules (YARA/Sigma/KQL/EQL/SPL), playbook content, victim emails, and asset inventory. Deduplication and severity classification of harvested intel.

INJECT Gate

08 · REPORT

Signed Evidence Report

Ed25519-signed VPR-{hex12} reports. Risk score 0.0–1.0. Hash-chained evidence log. JSON/Markdown/text output. MITRE ATT&CK and ATLAS technique mapping. OWASP reference tagging. Follow-on tool recommendations.
