⚛️ Q‑Trace Pro: Quantum-Inspired Threat Detection for Python Code

Q‑Trace Pro is a Python-based analyzer that detects entangled logic bombs, quantum-style steganography, and probabilistic malware patterns. It doesn’t simulate classical logic with signatures — it maps real code behavior into quantum circuits and simulates them with Cirq.

This is a quantum-native analysis tool — not a classical clone, not a static linter, and definitely not regex-based.

🧠 Why It Exists
Conventional security tools:

Use static matching, known rules, or pattern-based anomalies

Miss subtle, chained, conditional, or evasive logic paths

Q‑Trace Pro shifts the analysis model:

It treats Python logic as if it were entangled, non-deterministic code

Every conditional path is turned into a quantum circuit, simulated in Cirq

It scores logic not by rulebooks, but by quantum risk behavior

🔍 What Q‑Trace Pro Detects

🧨 Probabilistic Bombs
Triggers that activate only under rare, chained input states — often missed by traditional tools.

🔗 Entangled Logic
Cross-function logic paths that require multiple coordinated conditions to activate (similar to quantum entanglement).

🕵️ Quantum Steganography
Logic hidden behind environment-specific triggers, debug-awareness, or time-based execution.

🛡️ Anti-Debug Tracing
Detects logic branches that behave differently under debugging tools or timing analysis.

🧠 Quantum ML Anomaly Detection (Optional)
Uses AI to flag logic patterns that don’t match known behaviors — signature-free and dynamic.

🎯 Adversarial Code Sample Generation
Automatically creates red-team–grade adversarial Python logic for training and simulation.

⚙️ How It Works
Written in Python 3.8+

Core simulation with Google Cirq

Graphing with matplotlib + networkx

UI via Streamlit (optional)

No Tree-sitter, no classical pattern engines

🚀 Using Q‑Trace Pro
Local:

bash
Copy
Edit
git clone https://github.com/Dinesh431786/Q-Trace
cd Q-Trace
pip install -r requirements.txt
streamlit run app.py
Or paste Python code directly into the UI.

📊 Output You’ll See
Suspicious logic block extraction

Chained triggers across functions

Quantum simulation output: amplitudes, states, entanglement behavior

Quantum risk scores (0–1 scale)

Graphical output of entangled paths and risk zones
