TraceTree monitors what software actually does when it runs, not just what it claims to be. It sandboxes packages inside Docker, attaches strace to capture every syscall, and builds a directed graph of the full process cascade: every file touched, every network call made, every child process spawned. That graph gets fed into a RandomForest classifier trained on real malware samples, plus YARA rules and n-gram syscall pattern matching, to flag behavioral signatures that static scanners and install-time checks completely miss. The output is a SARIF report you can pipe directly into your security toolchain. TraceTree also includes a dedicated MCP server security module, because as AI agents proliferate, MCP servers have become a live attack surface that nobody was watching. The core insight is simple: malware can lie about what it is, but it can't hide what it does.

Features

  • syscall capture via strace inside Docker sandbox
  • Directed process tree / graph construction using NetworkX
  • RandomForest classifier for malicious behavior detection (trained on MalwareBazaar samples)
  • YARA rule matching against captured traces
  • N-gram syscall pattern analysis
  • Temporal execution analysis (timing and sequencing of syscalls)
  • Behavioral signature library for known attack patterns
