[Feedback] White Falcon Self-Hosted Multi-Agent Internet Inventory & SOC/Endpoint O - itcorp - Aug 8, 2026

White Falcon
Self-hosted multi-agent platform for internet host inventory, distributed scanning, and SOC/endpoint operations.

Looking for honest opinions on architecture, detection design, and what to build next - not a sales pitch.



Summary

White Falcon lets you run your own agent fleet, scan authorized IP ranges or country CIDRs, enrich hosts (ports, banners, TLS, tech/device fingerprints, vulns, geo/WHOIS), store everything in your database, search it with Shodan-style filters, and operate from a realtime Windows desktop console. Agents can also collect endpoint inventory, baselines, alerts, and optional live screen stream.

Detection is catalog-driven: the API holds live signature packs; agents pull and cache them, match against banners/headers/body, score confidence, and send unknown/low-confidence patterns into a learning queue for human review.

Built for SOC teams, labs, MSSPs, and anyone who wants on-prem control of the scanner fleet and the inventory - not a cloud-only data feed.


What it is

Think: private internet asset intelligence you build yourself + multi-agent scanner orchestration + operator wallboard + light endpoint/EDR-style modules + a signature learning loop that improves detection over time.

It is not a public Shodan clone and not a "spray the internet" toy. It is an ops platform for authorized scanning and defensive/research use.


High-level architecture
  • Operator client (Windows WPF) - login, dashboard, tasks, agents, search, endpoint, admin

  • Central API - auth (JWT), orchestration, REST + SignalR, persistence, detection catalog

  • Agents (workers) - request work, scan batches, run detection pipeline, upload results, optional endpoint modules

  • SQL Server - tasks, hosts, signatures, plans, audit, learning queue



Flow in one line: Client/Agents <-> API (HTTP + SignalR + JWT) <-> SQL

How a scan works (end-to-end)

  1. Operator signs in on the desktop client

  2. Creates a scan task (IP range or country + ports + optional feature flags/capabilities)

  3. Online agents authenticate with an API key and connect via SignalR

  4. API assigns non-overlapping IP batches (default ~256 IPs)

  5. Agent runs the crawl + detection pipeline on the batch

  6. Results upload via durable chunked ingest (begin -> chunks -> complete)

  7. Dashboard updates live; hosts become searchable

  8. Unknown/low-confidence patterns can enter the learning queue for review

How detection works

Detection is not a single black-box "AI guess." It is a layered catalog + match + score system.

1) Detection catalog (lives on the API / SQL)
  • Port probes - probe payload + expected reply patterns for banners/service hints

  • Technology signatures - CMS/framework/server tech from headers, HTML, scripts, meta

  • Web software signatures - product/app fingerprints (+ common paths for discovery)

  • Device signatures - port-scoped packs for device type/vendor/model (banner + headers + body)

  • Vulnerability signatures - local CVE-style rules against content and detected components

  • External vuln feeds - NVD (optional OSV) correlation by protocol/software/tech + version



Agents authenticate, pull the catalog over the configuration API, cache it in memory, and refresh on SignalR catalog updates or on a periodic loop (~5 minutes). Admins grow the catalog over time (including via the learning loop below).

2) Match inputs and pattern engine

For each open port under analysis, the agent builds evidence from:
  • Service banner

  • HTTP headers (when applicable)

  • HTML/body content (when applicable)



Matching uses typed patterns (contains, regex, starts/ends with, banner, hex, fingerprint). Device signatures are port-scoped - a signature only competes if it applies to that port.

3) Capability/feature flags

Every scan task can enable or disable phases (examples): PingSweep, PortScan, BannerGrab, ServiceDetection, WebScan, DeviceDetection, SSLScan, DnsLookup, OsDetection, Whois, ProtocolAnalysis, VulnScan.
If a capability is off, that detection stage is skipped - so you can run light discovery or heavy enrichment depending on the job.

4) Confidence scoring (two paths)

Content/tech/web software: scored 0–100 from match count, pattern length, coverage, header/version bonuses. Weak hits below a minimum threshold are discarded.

Device: runs signature match, vendor resolve, and endpoint discovery in parallel, then model resolve when vendors are known. Overall confidence blends those signals (plus guards like CDN/edge to cut false camera-like hits). Device learning triggers when there is no solid hit or overall confidence is around below 0.5. Content learning triggers on no detection or low max confidence.

5) Policy vs detection

Behavior policies are a separate gate (allow/deny/alert) — they do not own fingerprints. Typical hooks: geo DENY before port scan; content DENY/alert after banner/HTML analysis.

6) Learning loop
  1. Agent posts unknown/low-confidence evidence to the learning collect endpoint

  2. Item lands in an admin review queue

  3. Human reviews and promotes useful patterns into Technology/WebSoftware/Device tables

  4. Fleet gets a catalog update (SignalR) and agents refresh cache

Agent detection flow (step by step)

This is the concrete per-IP/per-port path an agent follows during a batch:

Host level
  1. Blacklist skip - drop targets that must not be scanned

  2. Ping/alive check - dead hosts are recorded as inactive and skipped for deep analysis

  3. DNS - PTR/related records when DnsLookup is enabled

  4. Policy/geo gate - early geo can DENY the host before ports are touched

  5. TCP port scan - open/closed ports for the task port set

  6. Enrich - geo, WHOIS, MAC (as available), plus OS fingerprint on open ports



Per open port
  1. Banner/probes - HTTP/SSL grab or raw socket probes (needs BannerGrab and/or ServiceDetection)

  2. Parallel analysis - protocol detect + SSL (on SSL ports) + content/tech/web-software/local vuln signatures + device detection

  3. Device path detail - signature + vendor + endpoints in parallel -> model resolve -> overall confidence -> learning report if unknown/low

  4. Optional path discovery - sensitive/admin-style paths from web-software and device endpoint hints

  5. Extra SSL/TLS pass - when SSLScan is enabled on SSL-looking ports

  6. External vuln correlation - NVD/OSV by protocol + detected software/tech (when VulnScan is enabled)

  7. Content policy check - behavior rules on banner/HTML (allow / deny / alert)



After analysis
  1. Assemble host - merge ports, enrichments, device/tech/vuln into the host record

  2. Chunked ingest - upload to the API (begin -> chunks -> complete)

  3. Learn (if needed) - content and device paths can independently enqueue learning samples

One of the most insane projects I've seen by a single person - this is something that large scale development teams could never do. But it's a breeze to this god right here.

This hit me right in the feels....thank you bud!I don't think I'm anything special,I just really love what I do and I'm too stubborn to stop.But when someone like you says something like this,it reminds me why I do it.Truly grateful.
