The parser substitutes `datetime.now().year` at parse time, so evaluating scenario data in a different calendar year than it was generated stamps all syslog events with the wrong year. This inflates the observed event span for the diurnal-pattern short-scenario guard and any other evaluator logic that computes spans across formats. Fix: switch the syslog emitter template to ISO 8601 (`%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`) and remove the BSD branch from the parser (keeping it only as a fallback for real-world log ingestion). Existing `_SYSLOG_MONTHS`, `_SYSLOG_TS_RE`, and `_syslog_sort_key` in the emitter can be removed once the template is ISO. Scenarios regenerated after this fix will parse cleanly at any future date. +- [x] **P1** Syslog year-bearing timestamp fix — generated Linux syslog now renders RFC 5424 with full ISO/RFC3339 timestamps and PRI/version/procid fields, removing the yearless BSD output path that caused future-date eval drift. `eforge eval` keeps parser-marked BSD/RFC3164 and legacy ISO input as compatibility fallbacks for older datasets, while strict validation requires RFC 5424 for unmarked/generated syslog. Verified with config validation, focused syslog/eval tests, Ruff, and full normal pytest. ### P0 Cross-Source Timing Audit diff --git a/commands/eforge/evaluate.md b/commands/eforge/evaluate.md index 097546f6..e9c5ed26 100644 --- a/commands/eforge/evaluate.md +++ b/commands/eforge/evaluate.md @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ Present a clear summary of the evaluation results.

Error: a visible initiating event for the same identifier appears later than its dependent event, such as a 4688 before a later same-host 4624 with the same LogonID.

Verification: `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_install_skills.py -q --no-cov` passed (`30 passed`); the same focused test file also passed under the default coverage run, but that command failed the whole-repo coverage threshold because it intentionally ran only one test module. - [x] **P1** Web application response/session realism follow-up — Added data-driven inbound `web_server` visitor profiles so human visitors consume `traffic_rates.web` as top-level actions, then fan out into required page assets/API calls through `site_maps.yaml`; crawler, health-check, API-client, and opportunistic-probe traffic now uses source-native configured request/status/User-Agent profiles. Static resource sizes are stable per host/path, human navigation and render fanout timing use `timing_profiles.yaml`, and docs/skill references now explain the budget and config ownership. Verification passed: focused web/timing/baseline tests (`107 passed, 1 skipped`), config-related tests (`64 passed`), `uv run eforge validate-config`, repo-wide Ruff checks/format checks, full normal `uv run pytest -q` (`3012 passed, 15 skipped`), and `git diff --check`. - [x] **P1** Well-synced network sensor timing follow-up — Replaced hardcoded multi-sensor Zeek +/-400ms skew plus broad path delay with a validated `network_sensor_observation` timing profile. The default `well_synced` profile keeps stable per-sensor clock skew within +/-1.5ms and per-flow capture/path delay within 50-2000us while preserving canonical packet/byte truth unless source-native observation variance is explicitly enabled. Verification passed with focused Zeek/timing tests, `uv run eforge validate-config`, repo-wide Ruff checks/format checks, full normal `uv run pytest -q` (`3012 passed, 15 skipped`), and `git diff --check`. +- [x] **P1** Source identity and endpoint baseline realism sprint — completed TLS/X.509 issuer-compatible chain signatures, Sysmon Event 7 native third-party module identity, config-driven Windows scheduled-process timing, and DHCP registry emission policy tied to lease activity.

Defer with the broader observation/profile sprint so host/persona-specific variance, long-lived process state, benign unmatched artifacts, and realistic endpoint observation gaps are modeled coherently rather than as eCAR-only omissions. - [ ] **Later architectural sprint: imperfect observation and source coverage** — defer the broad "too-complete telemetry" problem until after the sharper defects are gone. Model source-specific drop rates, ingestion delay, audit-policy gaps, endpoint coverage variance, and asymmetric Security/Sysmon/eCAR/Zeek visibility as a coherent observation/profile layer rather than one-off omissions. Bundle the related deferred items into this sprint: endpoint/eCAR baseline variance, source-specific process lifecycle completeness modeling, configurable cross-source evidence disagreement, per-host/source log coverage, and the host/activity profile items for per-entity artifact and volume variance. - [x] Full slow-suite regression cleanup after loop-65 merge — explicit-proxy storyline beacons now preserve authored hostname+destination IP pairs only when the storyline marks that pair as intentional, normal proxy-origin DNS resolution remains intact, and the parallel-generation LogonID assertion treats Type 7 unlock reuse as valid slice-of-time Windows behavior.

Human page views automatically fan out into required page assets (JS, CSS, images, fonts, same-origin API calls) without consuming additional `web` budget. If the scenario focuses on server-side analysis (web scanners, access log anomalies), you likely need `intensity: high` or explicit `traffic_rates: {web: [5000, 12000]}` overrides to ensure attackers are buried in realistic background noise.

Former employees, decommissioned service accounts, or un-revoked contractor access are common in real environments.

The engine automatically generates background noise from these: failed logons, Kerberos pre-auth failures on DCs, scheduled task failures, and service startup failures — creating realistic "why is this disabled account still here?" ambiguity for analysts. **Attacker realism / messiness** — How polished is the attacker? Real attacks are messy — even skilled operators make mistakes, hit dead ends, and waste time on paths that go nowhere. Ask the user how much "fumbling" they want in the storyline.
