What mallcop looks for

Mallcop patrols your building on a schedule. It knows who belongs, what's normal, and what deserves a closer look. Here's what it checks for - and how it picks up new tricks on the job.

Mallcop's patrol checklist

No AI involved at this stage. Just rules compared against what's normal.

Suspicious behavior

Is someone doing something they shouldn't?

Someone new shows up
A user, bot, or API key that's never been seen before. Most are expected onboarding. Triage resolves those automatically. The ones that aren't get escalated.
new-actor
Somebody got promoted
New admin role, new repo owner, new org-level permissions. High signal. Almost always worth looking at, even when it's legit.
priv-escalation
Someone's hammering the door
A burst of failed logins in a short window. Mallcop checks the pattern and tells you if it's fat fingers or something worse.
auth-failure-burst
Activity at a weird hour
A 9-to-5 account doing things at 3am. The baseline knows whether this person works late sometimes or never has before.
unusual-timing
Way more traffic than normal
Event volume spiked 10x for a source. If there was a deploy, that's probably why. If there wasn't, that's a problem.
volume-anomaly
Someone's poking around new places
A known account touching resources it's never touched before. A developer who's never been near the secrets store suddenly querying it.
unusual-resource-access

Your own mistakes

Did your team leave a door open?

Someone left their keys out
API keys, tokens, or credentials committed to a repo. Scans git history, not just the latest commit. Happens to everyone eventually. Mallcop reduces the window between exposure and discovery.
git-oops
Something got shared with the outside
An external account was granted access to an internal resource for the first time. Cross-account grants, new service accounts, unexpected access expansions.
new-external-access
Logs changed shape
A service updated and its log format shifted. The parser needs to know either way, but tampering looks different from an upgrade.
log-format-drift

Watching the perimeter

Is something messing with mallcop itself, or showing up outside your walls?

Something's trying to mess with the AI
Prompt injection patterns in usernames, commit messages, or resource names. Caught at ingest, flagged, never reaches the LLM.
injection-probe
An AI agent is doing something sketchy
Mallcop monitors OpenClaw AI agent installations for known malicious skill patterns, IOC signatures, and insecure gateway configurations. If a skill doesn't match its manifest or the gateway is misconfigured, that's a finding.

Mallcop learns on the job

When mallcop keeps seeing something suspicious that no check covers, it writes a new one. Every change goes through Mallcop Academy - the validation framework that proves the new check actually works. You decide how much autonomy to give it.

Human in the loop
The default. Mallcop drafts changes and tests them, but nothing goes live until you approve. You can delegate for a single cycle or permanently.
Free run
Opt in to let mallcop deploy validated changes on its own. Every change still graduates from the academy. You're choosing to trust the process and take responsibility for what ships.
Fixes its own blind spots
Heal-mode actions can propose log-parser fixes when an integration's log format drifts. Review them with mallcop heal or enable auto-apply for trusted parsers.
Extend with your own detectors
Detectors and connectors ship via our internal build pipeline; new ones are added regularly. To extend mallcop with custom detectors for your environment, use mallcop scaffold and mallcop verify.
Remembers who's who
Entity reputation tracking scores every actor, IP, and service account over time. Findings from a trusted entity look different from findings from an unknown one. Reputation decays toward neutral over 30 days.
Watches its own work
Either way, mallcop monitors its own extensions. A plugin that exceeds its permissions or drifts from expected behavior gets written up like anything else.
