Autonomous Polymorphic Agent (APA)

Overview

The Autonomous Polymorphic Agent (APA) is a self-healing, decentralized software agent platform designed for robust, secure, and autonomous operation across diverse computing environments. Built with Go, APA combines advanced networking, self-healing mechanisms, and modular controller architecture.

Key Features

Core Capabilities

• Multi-Protocol Networking: TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, and libp2p support with intelligent switching
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows across AMD64 and ARM64
• Self-Healing: Automatic fault detection, process restart, and recovery orchestration
• Decentralized Design: Peer-to-peer networking with DHT discovery and pubsub messaging
• Modular Architecture: Extensible through WASM modules and controller plugins
• Security Framework: End-to-end encryption, Ed25519 signature verification, OPA policy engine
• Self-Updating: Secure over-the-air updates with Ed25519-verified artifacts
• Health Monitoring: Continuous system health assessment with binary integrity checks
• Ephemeral Identity: Automatic identity rotation with HMAC-derived session keys
• Admin API: REST API for health, metrics, audit, and module management

Architecture Highlights

• Decentralized Design: Peer-to-peer networking with DHT discovery
• Microservices Pattern: Modular components with clear separation of concerns
• Event-Driven: Reactive architecture for optimal performance

Installation

From Source

git clone https://github.com/naviNBRuas/APA.git
cd APA
go build -o apa cmd/standalone-agent/main.go
./apa --help

Docker

docker build -t apa .
docker run -it apa --help

Usage

Command Line Options

Usage of ./apa:
  -config string
        Path to agent configuration YAML file (default "configs/agent.yaml")
  -version
        Show version information

Configuration

Create a configuration file:

log_level: info
peer_port: 9000
admin_port: 9001
bootstrap_peers:
  - /ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/9000/p2p/QmPeerID...

Then run:

./apa --config=config.yaml

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/naviNBRuas/APA.git
cd APA
go mod tidy
go test ./...
go build -o apa cmd/standalone-agent/main.go

Code Quality Standards

• All code must pass gofmt, govet, and golangci-lint
• Tests should cover new functionality
• Security scans must pass

Security

Reporting Vulnerabilities

Please report security vulnerabilities to founder@nbr.company.

Security Features
