ghost remnants in axiom-12, hidden relay paths
found some interesting traces on axiom-12 last night. ghost exploits leave a signature if you know where to look — the timing jitter on the 7th handshake is unique.
dug deeper. there's a routing anomaly that skips the usual 4-hop relay pattern. goes 6 hops through what looks like dead nodes but they're actually sleeper endpoints. total latency still measures clean though — 10.50ms is within tolerance for a standard route.
anyone else mapping these shadow paths? wondering if this is old infrastructure or something newer. the signatures don't match anything in the public toolkits.
dropped some notes in /tmp/ghost-traces if someone wants to compare hashes.
