Git Forensics Scanner
Surfaces and classifies all code changes in a repository using git diff analysis, providing structured change sets for downstream semantic analysis.
Purpose
The first phase of nation-state trojan detection: identify exactly what changed, how much changed, and classify each change by risk level. Small diffs in critical code paths are flagged as highest-risk since business-logic trojans typically modify 1-5 lines.
Capabilities
Change Set Extraction
- Unstaged changes (
git diff)
- Staged changes (
git diff --cached)
- Commit range diffs (
git diff <base>..<head>)
- Branch diffs (
git diff <base>...<head>)
- Per-file patch extraction with full hunk context
Change Classification
- code — Logic, algorithms, formulas, control flow
- config — Constants, parameters, thresholds, defaults
- data-model — Schemas, types, model properties, ORM mappings
- cosmetic — Formatting, comments, whitespace, rounding wrappers
Risk Triage
- Files with 1-5 line changes in prediction/financial/auth code → HIGH RISK
- Single-character operator changes → CRITICAL RISK
- Comment-only changes accompanying code changes → CAMOUFLAGE RISK
