SynAccel Mirage v2

Adaptive Deception Framework — Behavioral Honeypot Core

Mirage v2 is the adaptive brain of the SynAccel Cyber ecosystem.
It simulates psychological deception environments — generating believable fake banners, service responses, and persona-driven worlds that adapt based on attacker behavior.

Current Capabilities (v2 Core)

Core Systems:

• Detection Layer: Identifies incoming probes, extracts IP and User-Agent data, and flags suspicious scanners.
• Response Engine: Generates believable fake banners (SSH, HTTP, FTP, SMTP) for each request.
• Telemetry System: Records every interaction to structured logs (logs/perception_log.jsonl) for behavioral analysis.
• Persona Engine: Loads configurable “personas” from JSON templates (default, opportunist, scanner) and serves matching illusions.
• Automatic Persona Assignment: Detects reconnaissance tools (e.g., nmap, sqlmap) and responds with tailored persona environments.

Project Vision

Goal:
Transform Mirage from a static honeypot into an adaptive organism — a system that:

• Evolves deception dynamically per attacker.
• Generates unique “worlds” per IP or behavior profile.
• Can eventually integrate with SynAccel Bridge for real multi-port, network-level illusions.

Early Prototype Ideas

• Detect basic nmap scans via timing and headers.
• Serve unique fake service banners per attacker.
• Generate decoy HTML login pages dynamically.
• Log all requests to a perception_log.jsonl.

Vision

Security is no longer just defense. It’s deception with purpose.

SynAccel Mirage v2 is part of a broader SynAccel Cyber initiative exploring adaptive security loops, AI-assisted defense, and cognitive misdirection.

This repository is a research playground — not a product — for experimenting with perception as a defensive surface.
