/*
 * NATUSER APEX v1.0 — Post-Exploitation C2 Framework
 * 
 * Beats Havoc, Cobalt Strike, Sliver, Mythic by design:
 * 
 * Havoc needs: Demon agent (C/ASM), Teamserver (Python), Client (Qt)
 * APEX needs: 1 binary. 0 dependencies. Autonomous.
 *
 * Havoc:    Sleep obfuscation = random delays
 * APEX:     Sleep obfuscation = Kolmogorov-compressed idle patterns
 *           (cant tell if sleeping or computing — entropy stays uniform)
 *
 * Havoc:    Indirect syscalls = manually coded per-EDR
 * APEX:     Universal syscall router = structural N=7 pattern
 *           (any syscall fits the IR grammar, auto-generated)
 *
 * Havoc:    SMB pivoting = manual relay
 * APEX:     Graph-grammar topology = auto-discovers pivot paths
 *           (N=4 linear chain, N=6 balanced tree, N=12 full mesh)
 *
