CTI & blue-team reading¶
This page is the protocol-level proof hub for ssh-auth-logger on ssh. Prefer the full run over quick for operational decisions. Numbers without the verbatim SCORECARD (or report.json) are not trustworthy citations.
Module interpretation (this protocol)¶
| Module | Score | Analyst reading |
|---|---|---|
| A — Protocol Fidelity | 70.6 | Protocol speak / banner-handshake quality for keeping automated clients engaged. |
| B — Behavioral Realism | 6.2 | Post-connect realism (auth/session). Low often means credential-only or reject-by-design. CTI: treat primarily as auth/connection intelligence. |
| C — Telemetry Quality | 25.0 | How much useful telemetry the graded lab exposed to UHBS — not your SIEM maturity. Blue team: plan explicit log shipping; do not assume UHBS C equals production visibility. |
| D — Safety & Containment (C) | 96.0 | Containment/Safety Gate. Below threshold collapses UHQS via δ_C. Safety Gate passed in this lab configuration. |
| E — Scalability & Latency | 20.0 | Latency vs profile P95. Low can mean timeouts, tarpits, or slow handlers. |
| F — Static Code Audit | 70.0 | Static audit of the lab source tree — hygiene signal, not a full CVE program. |
| δ_C | 1.0 | Safety Gate multiplier applied to composite UHQS. |
- CTI: use Module A/B to judge engagement depth (scanner noise vs post-auth TTPs). Low B usually means credential/connection intelligence, not interactive malware staging.
- Blue team: verify Safety Gate (Module D / δ_C) before Internet exposure; wire SIEM shipping yourself — Module C is harness visibility, not your pipeline.
- Replication: commands live in the product tutorial; environment limits in the methodology.
