v1.1.0

[1.1.0] - 2026-06-19

Introducing native container environments support and a Zero-Trust Privilege Separation architecture for the web server.

Added

• Native Container Support (nsenter fallback): Added robust container detection in nse/core/utils.py (checking container env, /.dockerenv, /proc/1/environ, and cgroup format). Dynamic fallback from ip netns exec to nsenter --net namespace switching prevents remount errors in container runtimes.
• Zero-Trust Privilege Separation:
  • nse-rootd UNIX domain socket server running as root and managing network namespaces, Scapy injection, and trace harvesting. Secure /var/run/nse-core.sock socket is automatically chowned to SUDO_UID/SUDO_GID when run via sudo.
  • RootdClient client proxy allowing unprivileged web server instances (nse-web / gui/server.py) to delegate low-level sandbox execution without running as root.
• Dedicated RPC Unit Tests: Added asynchronous mocking test test_rootd_rpc_communication to verify JSON-RPC protocol between client and daemon.

Changed

• Makefile and dev-setup: Restructured commands (make run-rootd, make run-web, make backend, and make dev) and updated startup instructions to reflect the decoupled daemon architecture.
