Zone Model And Scoring

Every tracked process is continuously assigned to one of three execution zones based on its smoothed Behavioral Risk Score (S<sub>t</sub> / EMA score). A zone transition — not an individual syscall — is the fundamental unit of analysis.
The composite score is a weighted sum across six behavioral dimensions:
| Index | Dimension | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | KB_DIM_PROCESS | 20% | fork/exec/exit lineage |
| 1 | KB_DIM_SYSCALL | 25% | windowed syscall-distribution entropy |
| 2 | KB_DIM_PRIVILEGE | 20% | UID/GID/capability transitions |
| 3 | KB_DIM_FILE | 10% | sensitive file access |
| 4 | KB_DIM_NETWORK | 10% | connect/bind activity |
| 5 | KB_DIM_MEMORY | 15% | RWX / anon+exec mappings, W^X violations |
Every non-terminal containment action is designed to be reversible if the process's score normalizes.
