+# Intercept.js: Context-Aware YARA Runtime Detection for JavaScript Environments
+
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
+[![Platform](https://img.shields.io/badge/Platform-Browser%20%7C%20Node%20%7C%20Edge-green.svg)](https://github.com/sekantsec/sekant-intercept-js)
+<!-- [![Modern JS](https://img.shields.io/badge/ECMAScript-2024%2B-yellow.svg)](https://github.com/sekantsec/sekant-intercept-js) -->
+
+**Intercept.js** is a pure JavaScript, YARA-compatible detection engine that combines byte-level pattern matching with runtime context inside sandboxed JavaScript environments (browsers, serverless runtimes, Electron). It is designed for application-layer inspection where traditional OS-level security tools lack visibility.
+
+While compatible with standard YARA syntax and modules (PE, ELF, Math, Hash, String, Time), Intercept.js extends detection beyond traditional file scanning by allowing rules to **combine content inspection with contextual metadata**, such as domain novelty, sender reputation, MIME discrepancies, user gesture state, referrer, and runtime origin.
+
+This enables expressive logic such as:
+- Executable header and downloaded from a newly observed domain
+- Suspicious document with macro and received from unknown sender
+- Script payload and inserted via clipboard without user interaction
+- Binary content and MIME type mismatch
+
+The repository includes 900+ unit and integration tests and documentation detailing grammar support and differences from libyara.
+
+## Use-Cases (MITRE ATT&CK)
+
+* **Neutralize Malicious Paste (T1204.004):** Detect malicious blobs in clipboard buffers before they reach the OS shell.
+* **Secure Ingress (T1105):** Block unsafe binary blobs and downloads within browsers.
+* **Phishing Mitigation (T1566.001):** Perform EDR-like email attachment scanning with email metadata context.
+* **Data Loss Prevention (T1020 / T1115):** Monitor application buffers for PII, secret keys, or exfiltration patterns.
+

+
+## Technical Overview
+
+Intercept.js avoids native bindings and instead leverages V8’s optimized RegExp engine and JavaScript runtime characteristics:
+
+* **Aho-Corasick Engine:** High-efficiency multi-pattern string matching for thousands of rules in O(n) time.
+* **Hex-to-Regex JIT:** Translates YARA hex strings (with wildcards and jumps) into optimized V8 Regular Expressions for efficient execution.
+* **AST Evaluation:** Uses a custom Lexer and Parser to convert YARA conditions into an Abstract Syntax Tree with short-circuit logic.
+* **Resource Safety:** Strict match caps to defend against "ReDoS" (Regex Denial of Service) and memory exhaustion.
+* **Common Module Support:** Native JS implementation of pe, elf, math, hash, time, and string modules.
+* **Custom Modules:** Plugin architecture enables use-case specific contextual information to be used in evaluation (e.g. domain reputation for download source).

+const results = await scanner.scan(clipboardData);
+
+if (results.length > 0) {
+  console.warn("Security Alert: Malicious paste blocked!");
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Architecture & Deployment
+
+Intercept.js is optimized for modern, "OS-less" deployment.
+
+| Target | Environment | Use Case |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Browsers** | Chrome/Edge/Safari | Real-time clipboard & download protection. |
+| **Email Clients** | Outlook / Apple Mail | Configurable attachment scanning. |
+| **Serverless** | Cloudflare Workers | Edge-based payload sanitization. |
+| **Electron** | Main/Preload Script | In-app protection for Slack/VS Code forks. |
+| **Automation** | macOS JXA / GNOME | Low-overhead desktop security services. |
+
+---
+
+## Supported Modules & Extensibility
+
+Intercept.js includes native JavaScript implementations of standard YARA modules, ensuring compatibility without external dependencies.
+
+*   **PE Module**: Parse Windows PE headers, sections, imports, and exports.
+*   **ELF Module**: Analyze Linux/Unix ELF headers and sections.
+*   **Math Module**: Entropy calculation, min/max, and statistical functions.
+*   **Hash Module**: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and CRC32 calculation.
+*   **Time Module**: Date/time comparisons.
+*   **String Module**: String length and transformation utilities.
+
+### Custom Modules
+You can easily extend the engine by injecting custom JS objects as modules. This allows rules to query application-specific context (e.g., `http.url`, `user.role`, `browser.userAgent`) without modifying the core engine.
+
+See [Custom Module Overview](docs/developer/CUSTOM_MODULE_OVERVIEW.md) for implementation details.

+## Testing
+
+We utilize **Vitest** for component testing and integration validation. The repository includes 900+ tests covering several layers:
+
+### Run All Tests
+To execute the full test suite:
+```bash
+npm run vitest
+```
+
+### Test Categories
+
+**1. Core Engine (Unit Tests)**
+Validate individual components like string matching, condition parsing, and the Aho-Corasick automaton.
+```bash
+npm run vitest vitest/testComprehensiveStringMatcher.test.mjs
+npm run vitest vitest/testConditionsMatch.test.mjs
+npm run vitest vitest/testAhoCorasickComprehensive.test.mjs
+```
+
+**2. Module Verification**
+Ensure that built-in modules (PE, ELF, Math, Hash) correctly parse file formats and calculate values.
+```bash
+npm run vitest vitest/testPEModule.test.mjs
+npm run vitest vitest/testELFModule.test.mjs
+npm run vitest vitest/testMathModule.test.mjs
+```
+
+**3. Advanced Logic**
+Test complex YARA features like loops, bitwise operations, and boolean logic.
+```bash
+npm run vitest vitest/testForLoopsComprehensive.test.mjs
+npm run vitest vitest/testBitwiseOperators.test.mjs
+```
+
+**4. End-to-End Integration**
+Validators for the full `YaraScanner` pipeline against realistic rules and payloads.
+```bash
+npm run vitest vitest/testYaraScanner.test.mjs
+npm run vitest vitest/testComprehensive.test.mjs
+```
+
+### Run Benchmarks
+
+Check the performance of the scanner across various scenarios:
+
+```bash
+npm run benchmark
+```
+
+This runs a basic benchmark suite testing simple string matching, complex conditions, quantifier heavy rules, and module usage.
+
+### Compare Implementations
+
+Verify correctness against the reference YARA implementation (requires Python and `yara-python`):
+
+```bash
+npm run compare
+```
+
+This script runs a direct comparison between Intercept.js and the native YARA engine on a variety of rule files and test data.
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Performance & Limitations
+
+Intercept.js is designed for **safety and portability**, not raw throughput supremacy over C-based YARA.
+
+- **Partial YARA Compatibility** - Not all YARA condition constructs are fully implemented. Gaps and edge-cases are documented [Engine Differences](docs/general/ENGINE_DIFFERENCES.md).
+- **In-Memory Scanning** - The engine operates on fully loaded byte buffers making extremely large files impractical to scan. Stream support is planned.
+- **Module Evaluation Scope** - Custom Modules currently receive raw content and context, but not the intermediate scan facts during pattern matching. Support is planned.
+- **Execution Speed**: Although V8's JIT compiler optimizes RegEx heavy rules significantly, it is not meant to match C-based YARA performance.
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Why not compile libyara to WebAssembly (WASM)?
+
+Intercept.js intentionally avoids native bindings and WebAssembly. While compiling libyara to WASM is technically possible, the primary constraints in sandboxed JavaScript environments are portability, memory bounds, and integration with runtime metadata — not raw CPU throughput.
+
+A pure JavaScript implementation:
+
+- Simplifies auditing and embedding in browsers, serverless runtimes, and extensions  
+- Avoids cross-environment WASM compatibility issues  
+- Integrates naturally with host-provided runtime context  
+- Reduces debugging and operational complexity  
+
+### How complete is YARA compatibility?
+
+Intercept.js supports the majority of commonly used YARA condition constructs, including literal, regex, and hex strings, along with common modules (PE, ELF, Math, Hash, String, Time). Some advanced or less commonly used constructs are not yet implemented. Documented differences are available in the [Engine Differences](docs/general/ENGINE_DIFFERENCES.md) guide.
+
+### How does performance compare to C-based YARA?
+
+Intercept.js is not intended to outperform native C-based libyara in raw throughput. It is optimized for practical performance within JavaScript runtimes using Aho-Corasick multi-pattern matching and V8’s optimized RegExp engine. The goal is predictable, efficient evaluation inside application-layer environments where native engines may not be practical to deploy.
+
+### Is rule evaluation deterministic?
+
+Yes. Rule evaluation is deterministic and side-effect free. Custom modules expose structured metadata to the rule engine but do not execute arbitrary code defined inside rules.
+
+---
+
+## Real-World Usage
+
+### Intercept.js is used by **Sekant Security** to secure browsers:
+- **Download Protection** - Intercept.js inspects file downloads in-flight to identify malicious artifacts before they are written to disk.
+- **Clipboard Sanitization** - Intercept.js scans clipboard content copied within browsers in real-time, detecting obfuscated / malicious payloads before execution.
