StealthNode: Automated, AI-Driven SOC Analyst for Local Defense
Live Architecture Breakdown: Watch on YouTube
📌 Project Overview
When a local AI agent is compromised, privilege escalation and data exfiltration can happen in exactly 3 seconds—long before a human ever notices 00:00:00]. To solve this, I engineered StealthNode, an automated, AI-driven Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst designed to react to local threats in seconds. It drops the massive overhead of a traditional SOC directly onto a local machine, silently monitoring and neutralizing attacks on AI agents before the damage is done 00:00:47].
🏗️ Core Architecture & Technical Stack
StealthNode is built on a highly secure, custom event-driven architecture designed for low latency and absolute system safety 00:01:27].
Real-Time Telemetry: A lightweight powershell installer deploys a Fast MCP and a Wazuh agent locally, persisting through reboots 00:01:36]. The agent continuously streams logs to a dedicated Wazuh server, where custom-written rule sets filter noise and detect legitimate threats 00:01:52].
Serverless Orchestration: Upon threat validation, the event is pushed to a queue that instantly spins up an isolated, serverless Modal sandbox 00:01:59]. This ensures the defensive compute is entirely segregated from the potentially compromised host machine.
Secure Tunneling & Analysis: The system injects a Fast MCP URL directly into the sandbox via a completely secure, custom Cloudflare tunnel network 00:02:07]. A Claude-powered security agent is then deployed inside the sandbox to analyze the telemetry and execute countermeasures.
Strictly Controlled Execution: To ensure the AI doesn't nuke the host operating system, the MCP is restricted to three highly specific tools: executing osquery, disabling compromised users, and running a strictly whitelisted set of system commands 00:02:25].
🔒 Future-Proofing & Roadmap
StealthNode is currently live in beta for Windows, continuously proving its ability to intercept zero-day behavior 00:03:59]. The architecture is actively being expanded to include specialized Security Small Language Models (SLMs) specifically designed to detect and block prompt injection and infiltration attempts against local AI models 00:04:14].
