🛡️ Advanced Security Features 🛡️

.gitignore Rules

  • Blocks common secret patterns (API keys, passwords, tokens)
  • Excludes OpenClaw configuration files
  • Prevents large binary files
  • Excludes temporary and cache files

🛡️ USING THE SECURITY SCANNER 🛡️

This is the most important feature! Run these scans regularly to protect your AI workspace:

# 🚨 COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY SCAN (8-phase threat detection)
./scripts/security-scan.sh [directory] [report-file] [verbose]

# ⚡ QUICK CRITICAL THREAT SCAN (Fast detection of exposed secrets & prompt injection)
./scripts/quick-security-scan.sh [directory]

🔒 SECURITY FIRST: Always run the security scanner before committing code or deploying AI applications!

🛡️ THREAT DETECTION CATEGORIES 🛡️

Our scanner detects these critical threats:

🛡️ 1. Prompt Injection & Jailbreak Detection

  • Direct injection attempts ("ignore previous instructions")
  • Indirect injection techniques
  • Known jailbreak patterns (DAN, AIM, STAN)
  • Role switching attempts
  • System prompt overrides

🛡️ 2. Dark Pattern Detection

  • Psychological manipulation patterns
  • False urgency and scarcity tactics
  • Hidden costs and forced continuity
  • Deceptive UI/UX patterns
  • Bait-and-switch techniques

🛡️ 3. Secret & Credential Detection

  • OpenAI API keys (sk-*)
  • Google API keys (AIza*)
  • GitHub tokens
  • Private keys (RSA, DSA, EC)
  • Passwords in configuration

🛡️ 4. AI-Specific Threats

  • Model parameter manipulation
  • Training data poisoning indicators
  • Adversarial example patterns
  • Model stealing techniques

🛡️ 5. Code Injection & Malware

  • Shell injection vectors (system(), exec(), eval())
  • Unsafe deserialization
  • Web security issues (innerHTML, document.write)
  • Suspicious file types in non-standard locations

6. Data Exfiltration

  • External API calls without validation
  • Data upload patterns
  • Beacon and tracking code
  • Unauthorized data transmission

Scan Output:

  • Critical Threats (🚨 RED): Immediate action required
  • Warnings (⚠ YELLOW): Review recommended
  • Info (ℹ GREEN): Informational findings
  • Detailed Report: Saved to timestamped file

Exit Codes:

  • 0: Clean - no threats detected
  • 1: Warning - review recommended
  • 2: Critical - immediate action required

📊 Backup Strategy

Automated Backups

# Set up cron job for daily backups at 6 PM
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 18 * * * $HOME/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/daily-backup.sh >> $HOME/.openclaw/workspace/backup.log 2>&1") | crontab -

Manual Backups

# Run backup manually
./scripts/daily-backup.sh

# Or use quick backup
./scripts/quick-backup.sh

🌐 GitHub Setup

Automatic Setup

The organizer can automatically:

  1. Create a private GitHub repository
  2. Configure git remote
  3. Push initial commit
  4. Provide repository URLs

Manual Setup

If automatic setup fails:

# Create repository on GitHub.com
# Then run:
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repo.git
git push -u origin main

Environment Variables

# Configure before running
export GITHUB_USER=yourusername
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_yourtokenhere
export REPO_NAME=openclaw-workspace
export REPO_VISIBILITY=private  # or "public"

🆘 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. GitHub API rate limit

    # Use GitHub CLI if available
gh auth login
export GITHUB_CLI_AVAILABLE=true

  2. Permission denied

    # Make scripts executable
chmod +x scripts/*.sh

  3. Workspace not found

    # Specify workspace path
./scripts/organize-workspace.sh /path/to/workspace

  4. Git push fails

    # Check network and credentials
git remote -v
git push --verbose

Debug Mode

# Run with debug output
bash -x ./scripts/organize-workspace.sh

🔄 Reorganization

Update Existing Workspace

# Run organizer on existing workspace
./scripts/organize-workspace.sh

# It will:
# 1. Backup existing files
# 2. Update directory structure
# 3. Add missing core files
# 4. Update .gitignore
# 5. Create maintenance scripts

Reset Workspace

# Backup first
cp -r ~/.openclaw/workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)

# Reorganize
./scripts/organize-workspace.sh

📚 Integration with OpenClaw

AGENTS.md Integration

The organizer creates an AGENTS.md that includes:

  • Memory system instructions
  • Safety guidelines
  • Tool usage conventions
  • Session startup routine

Daily Routine
