About this project

ClawSec Monitor acts as a transparent HTTP/HTTPS proxy, providing insight into your AI agents' requests and responses. By monitoring traffic in real-time, it identifies potential threats and prevents data leaks without requiring any code changes. Keep control of your AI agents while ensuring secure operations.

ClawSec Monitor is a powerful transparent HTTP/HTTPS proxy designed to provide insights into the behavior of AI agents operating in real-time. By sitting between the AI agents and the internet, ClawSec Monitor captures every request and response, enabling users to identify potential threats, catch secrets being leaked, and detect malicious actions without requiring any changes to the agents' code.

Key Features

Monitor AI Traffic: Gain visibility into all HTTP and HTTPS requests made by AI agents, with every interaction logged and decrypted for analysis.
Automated Threat Detection: Automatically identify numerous threats such as secret key leaks, sensitive file access, and injection attempts as they occur.
Proactive Defense: Block harmful behavior before it causes damage, utilizing pattern-matching detection to safeguard your systems.
Comprehensive Transparency: Maintain a structured and queryable threat log that can be integrated with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions.

Categories of Detection

ClawSec Monitor effectively catches a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:

Category	Examples
AI API Key Leakage	Keys starting with `sk-ant-`, `sk-live-`, `sk-gpt-*`, OpenAI keys
SSH Key Exfiltration	PEM private keys, `ssh-rsa` public keys, `.ssh/id_rsa` paths
Sensitive File Access	Files like `/etc/passwd`, `/etc/shadow`, `/etc/sudoers`
Dot-file Leakage	Environment variables and credentials in `.env`, `.aws/credentials`, etc.
Command Injection	Patterns such as `curl …
bash`,` wget …
sh`, or` eval`
Netcat Backdoors	Common reverse shell commands like `nc -e`
SSH Lateral Movement	Outbound SSH connections to unknown hosts

ClawSec captures and logs threats occurring in both directions, ensuring thorough monitoring of all HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Alignment with Existing Tools

ClawSec Monitor is designed to integrate seamlessly into workflows using native installations or Docker deployments, making it adaptable to various environments and setups. Furthermore, it supports HTTPS interception via a locally generated Certificate Authority (CA) for even deeper monitoring of encrypted traffic. Whether utilizing the native install or Docker, ClawSec ensures your AI agents operate while remaining in full view.

Configurable Settings

Configuration is straightforward and allows users to tailor aspects such as proxy host, logging directories, and more to fit specific needs. For instance:

{
  "proxy_host": "127.0.0.1",
  "proxy_port": 8888,
  "log_dir": "/tmp/clawsec",
  "max_scan_bytes": 65536,
  "enable_mitm": true
}

Security Considerations

ClawSec Monitor treats sensitive data with care, ensuring that logs do not compromise security. The CA private key is specifically handled with high security measures, prompting users not to trust the CA system-wide on production machines unless in monitored processes.

Conclusion

ClawSec Monitor stands as an essential solution for those looking to enhance the transparency and security of AI agent operations while simultaneously adhering to best practices in threat detection and risk management.
