Project Status
HotTrace is currently a working MVP with a complete local forensic comparison workflow.
The current build includes:
- Deterministic evidence ingestion
- Timestamp-honest state reconstruction
- Reference and Comparison capture alignment
- Interactive playback of recorded fields
- Matching, differing, flat, and categorical behavior findings
- Explicit observer evidence gaps
- Advanced Forensic Detail with sample age, provenance, hashes, parser status, and normalized event links
- Read-only local APIs and browser-based analysis
- 99 standard-library tests
- Synthetic judge-facing sample evidence
- Support for larger real embedded-system captures, as shown in the demo video
The application runs locally and does not require cloud processing. Private hardware evidence remains on the analyst’s machine.
The next planned stage is a separately reviewed capture agent for STM32MP1 and STM32MP2 systems, followed by broader capture formats and additional forensic comparison tools.
