Encode fail-closed admission, target registrations, and a credential
broker that never returns secret values. Calibrate audit-core shaped
probes in-process. Send no packets and request no live credentials.

whitehat-security

NetKingdom's offensive security facility. Automated white hat IT-security, pen-testing and isolation-probing — pointed at infrastructure we choose, including our own.

The estate's adversarial evidence facility: it attacks our own systems, on a schedule, to find out whether the security properties they claim are actually true.

It exists because a repo testing its own boundary grades its own homework. The probes most worth having are the ones an author would not think to write.

  • Independent in operation. It does not take a declared posture as true. NetKingdom owns both the security canon and this facility, so findings leave through risk-nexus under separate ownership rather than being resolved here.

  • It finds; it does not fix. Findings route to risk-nexus, which owns severity and disclosure. The repo that owns the defect owns the repair.

  • A pass means the attacks we tried did not work — not that the boundary holds. Reports say so.

Offline calibration

make check
make fixture-evidence

This proves that every current differential probe, including the audit-core shaped pack, passes an enforcing fixture and detects the corresponding missing-tenant-predicate fixture. It sends no network traffic and is not evidence about a target service. Live execution requires a current target-specific record, a registered applicable target, and plane admission. See docs/test-plane.md.
