System Overview

Back to: README

Azazel defines a defense doctrine centered on active control of attacker tempo.

Core loop:

Detect
Decide
Delay
Redirect
Observe
Buy time

This loop is implemented differently by each product variant while preserving shared principles and naming.

Deployment products

Azazel-Boot Responder (AZ-03) starts from removable USB SSD media for civil emergency use on a commissioned compatible laptop.
Azazel-Nexus Gateway (AZ-07) is a persistent, self-contained deployment for a rugged x86_64 Linux PC.

Both consume shared Azazel-Fabric contracts and keep deterministic decision and enforcement authority in Azazel-Edge. Resource tier, interface topology, optional external services, and cognition availability may change capability, but never the authority boundary.
