## 🚨 Incident Response Plan
### Phase 1: Detection & Initial Response (0-15 minutes)
#### Automated Detection Triggers
- Unusual transaction patterns
- Failed authentication attempts > threshold
- Unexpected system shutdowns
- Resource consumption anomalies
- Private key access outside normal hours
#### Immediate Actions
1. **Alert Team**: Notify security response team
2. **Stop Operations**: Halt all bot activities immediately
```bash
# Emergency stop command
pkill -f mev-bot
systemctl stop mev-bot
```
3. **Preserve Evidence**: Capture system state
```bash
# Capture logs
journalctl -u mev-bot --since="1 hour ago" > incident-logs.txt
# Capture system state
ps aux > incident-processes.txt
netstat -tulpn > incident-network.txt
```
### Phase 2: Assessment & Containment (15-60 minutes)
#### Impact Assessment
- **Financial**: Check account balances and recent transactions
- **Operational**: Assess system compromise extent
- **Data**: Verify integrity of critical data
- **Access**: Review authentication logs for breaches
#### Containment Actions
1. **Isolate Systems**: Disconnect compromised systems
2. **Secure Keys**: Move funds to safe addresses if necessary
3. **Change Credentials**: Rotate all authentication credentials
4. **Network Isolation**: Block suspicious network traffic
### Phase 3: Eradication & Recovery (1-24 hours)
#### Root Cause Analysis
- Review audit logs thoroughly
- Analyze attack vectors used
- Identify security gaps exploited
- Document lessons learned
#### System Recovery
1. **Clean Installation**: Rebuild compromised systems
2. **Security Hardening**: Apply additional security measures
3. **Testing**: Verify system integrity before restart
4. **Gradual Restart**: Resume operations incrementally
### Phase 4: Post-Incident (24+ hours)
#### Documentation
- Complete incident report
- Update security procedures
- Share findings with team
- Report to stakeholders
#### Improvement
- Implement preventive measures
- Update monitoring systems
- Enhance detection capabilities
- Schedule security review

## 🔐 Key Management Security
### Private Key Security
- **Storage**: Hardware Security Modules (HSM) or secure enclaves
- **Access**: Multi-factor authentication required
- **Rotation**: Quarterly key rotation schedule
- **Backup**: Secure, encrypted, geographically distributed backups
### Encryption Key Management
```bash
# Generate strong encryption key
openssl rand -base64 32
# Environment variable setup
export MEV_BOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY="your_32_character_minimum_key_here"
# Verify key strength
echo $MEV_BOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY | wc -c # Should be 32+ characters
```
### Key Rotation Procedure
1. **Generate New Key**: Create new encryption key
2. **Update Configuration**: Deploy new key to all systems
3. **Migrate Data**: Re-encrypt existing data with new key
4. **Verify**: Confirm all systems use new key
5. **Secure Disposal**: Securely delete old key

## 🛡️ Threat Model
### External Threats
- **Malicious Actors**: Attempting to steal funds or disrupt operations
- **Competitor Attacks**: MEV frontrunning or sandwich attacks
- **Network Attacks**: RPC endpoint compromise or manipulation
- **Supply Chain**: Compromised dependencies or infrastructure
### Internal Threats
- **Insider Threats**: Malicious or negligent employees
- **Configuration Errors**: Misconfigured security settings
- **Software Bugs**: Vulnerabilities in custom code
- **Operational Mistakes**: Human errors in procedures
### Mitigation Strategies
- **Defense in Depth**: Multiple security layers
- **Principle of Least Privilege**: Minimal necessary access
- **Continuous Monitoring**: Real-time threat detection
- **Regular Testing**: Ongoing security assessments
---
## 📊 Security Monitoring
### Key Metrics to Monitor
- **Transaction Success Rate**: Sudden drops may indicate attacks
- **Gas Price Anomalies**: Unusual gas prices may signal manipulation
- **Network Latency**: Increased latency may indicate MitM attacks
- **Authentication Failures**: Failed login attempts
- **Resource Usage**: CPU/Memory spikes may indicate DoS attempts
### Alerting Thresholds
```yaml
alerts:
failed_transactions: >5 in 5 minutes
authentication_failures: >3 in 1 minute
gas_price_spike: >200% of normal
network_latency: >5 seconds
memory_usage: >90% for 1 minute
```
### Log Analysis
```bash
# Check for suspicious activity
grep "FAILED" logs/mev-bot.log | tail -20
grep "ERROR" logs/mev-bot.log | grep -i "security"
grep "WARN" logs/mev-bot.log | grep -i "auth"
# Monitor transaction patterns
grep "TRANSACTION" logs/mev-bot.log | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c
```
