Consolidate 22 sibling repos into layered organism structure
Place useful parts of the surrounding repos into sica-fondt by layer, per the
body model (Ada = membrane; brain/endocrine/capabilities/knowledge non-Ada):

- brain/        LLM reasoning + providers (dapr, hermes, MoMoA)
- capabilities/ REPRAG sidecars: hermes tools/skills, dapr tools, parallel
                dispatch, A51 channels, and the OSINT cluster
- knowledge/    LORAG corpus: 754 cyber-skills, agency personas, secure-coding,
                MITRE ATT&CK data
- reference/    defensive threat-reference (C3, shhbruh doc) + AdaYaml parser

License handling: AGPL sources (worldosint, advanced_evolution, mercury,
Reticulum) and GPL DeTTECT are SPEC-only clean-room/port descriptions — no
copyleft code copied. MIT/Apache/data parts copied as working trees.

Safety: shhbruh escape/persistence material and C3 covert-C2 kept as reference
only, not wired into the running organism. See CONSOLIDATION.md.

Standards and References - Hunting for LOLBins

MITRE ATT&CK Mappings

Primary Techniques

  • T1218 - Signed Binary Proxy Execution: Use of trusted binaries to proxy execution of malicious payloads
    • T1218.001 - Compiled HTML File
    • T1218.002 - Control Panel
    • T1218.003 - CMSTP
    • T1218.004 - InstallUtil
    • T1218.005 - Mshta
    • T1218.007 - Msiexec
    • T1218.009 - Regsvcs/Regasm
    • T1218.010 - Regsvr32
    • T1218.011 - Rundll32
    • T1218.012 - Verclsid
    • T1218.013 - Mavinject
    • T1218.014 - MMC

Supporting Techniques

  • T1197 - BITS Jobs: Abuse of Background Intelligent Transfer Service
  • T1140 - Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information: certutil decode operations
  • T1059.001 - PowerShell: Script execution through PowerShell LOLBin
  • T1047 - Windows Management Instrumentation: WMIC-based execution
  • T1216 - Signed Script Proxy Execution: Trusted script execution (cscript, wscript)
  • T1127 - Trusted Developer Utilities Proxy Execution: MSBuild, dnx, rcsi

Tactics Covered

  • TA0002 - Execution: LOLBins used to execute malicious code
  • TA0005 - Defense Evasion: Bypassing security controls through trusted binaries
  • TA0003 - Persistence: Some LOLBins used for persistent execution
