Ghaymah Systems — Private Networking, Internal DNS & Multi-Microservice Testing Suite

Comprehensive Automated QA, Internal DNS, Raw TCP, Inter-Service Mesh, and Penetration Testing Suite for Ghaymah Systems (deploy.ghaymah.systems).

📋 Assessment Reports

1. 👉 Multi-Microservice Architecture & Security Report (Project: ghaymah-soc-microservices)
   • Complete SOC multi-service topology: Edge Gateway, Private REST Backend, Private Redis Database, and Diagnostic Pod.
   • Inter-service mesh routing, Raw TCP Redis transactions, and cross-project penetration testing findings.
2. 👉 Internal DNS & Private Networking Report (Project: dns-tcp-test)
   • Baseline discovery, CoreDNS resolution formula verification, and tenant isolation benchmarks.

🎯 Scope & Objectives

1. Multi-Microservice Architecture: Deploy a real 4-tier microservice application directly on Ghaymah:
   • soc-gateway: Public edge ingress, reverse proxy, and UI dashboard.
   • soc-backend: Private analysis engine listening on port 4000.
   • soc-redis: Private threat intelligence database & cache on port 6379.
   • soc-tester: Live DevSecOps testing pod.
2. Internal DNS Verification: Verify container-to-container service discovery via CoreDNS (10.43.0.10:53) using deterministic unique names ([name]-[hash]).
3. Raw TCP Socket Connectivity: Validate non-HTTP socket communication over port 6379 (Redis handshake, write, read, atomic counters).
4. Security & Penetration Testing:
   • Assess intra-tenant cross-project lateral movement.
   • Verify cluster infrastructure isolation (Kubernetes API, Cloud Metadata SSRF).
   • Local subnet discovery & port scanning.
   • Outbound egress NAT and DNS leak behavior.
