Self-Evolving Network Security
with Embedded ML

Protecting life-critical infrastructure with sub-microsecond detection. Zero external dependencies. Production-ready.

Quick Start

Why ML Defender?

⚡

Sub-microsecond Detection

4 embedded C++20 RandomForest detectors with 400 trees and 6,330 nodes ensuring instant threat identification.

🎯

Zero External Dependencies

Pure C++20 constexpr implementation. No ONNX for core detectors. Just raw performance and reliability.

🧬

Autonomous Evolution

Self-improving system with transparent methodology. Synthetic data training yielding F1 = 1.00.

🔐

Unified Crypto Ecosystem

End-to-End Encryption using ChaCha20-Poly1305 + LZ4 across the entire pipeline.

Loading events from JSONL (~32,957 available) → Extract 83 features → Run inference.

Architecture Overview

Crypto-Transport Unified Ecosystem

🔒

crypto-transport (SINGLE source of truth)

  • XSalsa20-Poly1305 + LZ4 Compression
  • All components depend on this core library
⬇
⚙️

etcd-client (uses crypto-transport)

  • HTTP + Key Exchange
  • Secure configuration management
⬇
🛡️

ALL Integrated Components

  • Sniffer (eBPF/XDP)
  • ml-detector (Dual-Score + RAG)
  • Firewall & etcd-server
  • RAG System (Analysis)

Dual-Score Detection Logic

👁️

SNIFFER (Fast Detector)

Populates: fast_detector_score, reason, triggered

📡 (Encrypted ZMQ)
🧠

ML DETECTOR

  • Decrypt Packet
  • Calculate ml_detector_score (4 models)
  • final_score = max(fast_score, ml_score)
  • RAGLogger: 83-field events
🚫 (Block/Monitor)
🧱

FIREWALL / RAG QUEUE

  • Block/Monitor based on final_score
  • RAG analysis for divergent events
