Summary
This pull request introduces the official DECTRAX integration app for Shuffle SOAR (dectrax/1.0.0/).
DECTRAX is an autonomous cyber deception and active interdiction platform designed to detect internal lateral movement, credential theft, and ransomware operations with 0.00% false positive accuracy and automatically enforce line-rate firewall drops in <1.5 seconds.
Problem Solved
Traditional SIEM/EDR detection rules suffer from high alert volume, false alarms from administrative activity, and extended analyst triage latency (30–60+ minute dwell time).
By integrating DECTRAX into Shuffle SOAR, security teams and regional MSSPs can build zero-touch, line-rate interdiction playbooks:
- When an adversary touches a synthetic decoy (RDP, SSH, Active Directory LDAP, SMB, or SCADA endpoint), DECTRAX immediately flags the source IP.
- Shuffle workflows trigger the
block_ip action to automatically publish the attacker's IP to DECTRAX's live External Dynamic List (EDL) feed.
- Perimeter and internal firewalls (Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Check Point, pfSense, and Linux
nftables) drop the adversary's network traffic in under 1.5 seconds—before ransomware can encrypt subnets.

Actions Included
| Action Name |
Method & Endpoint |
Description |
block_ip |
POST /api/v1/edl/block |
Injects malicious IP into live firewall EDL feed for <1.5s perimeter drop. |
get_blocked_ips |
GET /api/v1/edl/firewall.txt |
