🔥 Features

🛡️ Defensive Mode (EDR & Runtime Security)

• eBPF Kernel Probes (C): Hooks directly into the Linux Kernel (e.g., sys_enter_execve) with near-zero overhead.
• Memory-Safe Daemon (Rust): Asynchronous telemetry processing without the risk of buffer overflows or segfaults.
• Hardware-Level Anti-Tampering (Assembly): Custom x86_64 SIMD instructions to encrypt telemetry and detect virtualized/debugged environments.

⚔️ Offensive Mode (Vulnerability Scanner)

• Ultra-Fast Network Intelligence: Asynchronous tokio-driven port scanning capable of saturating multi-gigabit links.
• Stealth Capabilities: Fragmented packet generation and timing delays to bypass standard Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).

🛠️ Installation

Aetheris Vanguard is designed to be easily cloneable and compiled from source.

Prerequisites

• rustup & cargo (Rust Toolchain)
• gcc or clang (For compiling C/Assembly components)
• make

Quick Start

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/aetheris-vanguard.git
cd aetheris-vanguard

# 2. Build the optimized release binary
make release

# 3. The binary is now available at target/release/aetheris_vanguard

🚀 Usage

Aetheris operates in two primary modes: Defensive and Offensive.

1. Defensive Mode (EDR)

Note: Requires root privileges to load eBPF kernel probes.

sudo ./target/release/aetheris_vanguard defensive

Run in the background as a daemon:

sudo ./target/release/aetheris_vanguard defensive --daemonize

2. Offensive Mode (Scanner)

./target/release/aetheris_vanguard offensive --target 192.168.1.0/24

Enable Stealth Mode:

./target/release/aetheris_vanguard offensive --target 192.168.1.0/24 --stealth

🏗️ Architecture

Aetheris Vanguard utilizes a virtual Cargo workspace separating distinct logic into micro-crates:

• aetheris_vanguard: The main CLI entrypoint and orchestrator.
• defensive: Contains the Rust userspace agent and the C eBPF kernel probes (probe.bpf.c).
• offensive: Contains the high-speed network socket manipulation logic.
• core-crypto: A low-level cryptography library combining Rust FFI with custom hand-written Assembly (cipher_x86_64.S).
