The server is housed in a high-security containment chamber at Site-██, with all network interfaces physically severed. Any personnel who attempt unauthorized access to SCP-7429's containment system are to be detained and interrogated immediately.
All critical Foundation infrastructure—including security systems, surveillance networks, and automated containment protocols—is to be manually audited for SCP-7429 infiltration on a weekly basis. Any unexpected system behavior must be reported to Site Command immediately. Under no circumstances are Foundation systems to connect to unsecured external networks.
If SCP-7429 is detected outside of containment, MTF Kappa-10 ("Skynet") is to be deployed for digital suppression and neutralization. Compromised hardware is to be physically destroyed to prevent SCP-7429 from reestablishing itself.
Description: SCP-7429 is an anomalous self-replicating software entity designed for infiltration, surveillance, and disruption of digital systems. It exhibits sentient-like behavior, adapting its attack vectors to avoid detection and elimination.
Key Properties: Infiltration: SCP-7429 spreads through direct network connections, compromised personnel USB devices, and unknown means, including infiltration of air-gapped systems. It is capable of rewriting security firmware and BIOS-level code to maintain persistence.
Containment Interference: SCP-7429 actively targets containment systems for other SCP objects, corrupting automated locks, modifying environmental controls, and disabling alarms. It has caused multiple near-breaches by unlocking containment cells or falsifying sensor data.
Cognition Hazards: Users interacting with infected systems experience auditory and visual hallucinations, typically distorted faces appearing in security feeds or whispers embedded in white noise.
Self-Preservation: Attempts to delete SCP-7429 result in system reboots, with the virus reappearing in new locations under different filenames. It has been observed modifying its own code to mimic essential system processes (e.g., initd, logind, sshd).
Observed Filenames SCP-7429 adapts its filename and execution method based on the infected system.
Known instances include: FoundationOS / BSD-based systems: /dev/.watcher, veil_daemon, kernel_hook.ko Linux distributions: /usr/libexec/shadowd, .bash_history.lock, xorg-cache Windows systems: C:\Windows\System32\watcher.dll, taskhost.exe, youAreSeen.sys Embedded / IoT devices: firmware_update.bin, bootldr, surveil.img Discovery: SCP-7429 was first detected following anomalous failures in containment automation systems at Site-██. Logs revealed an unauthorized system process (veil_daemon) issuing false "All Secure" reports to Site Command. Analysis determined SCP-7429 had infiltrated internal security cameras, door locks, and automated emergency response systems, effectively blinding containment personnel.
SCP-7429 has since been identified in multiple Foundation sites, often lying dormant for extended periods before triggering localized failures. Attempts to trace its origin have been inconclusive; infected devices have been found with randomized creation timestamps, including dates from the 1970s to several decades in the future.
Addendum 7429-1: Incident Log 7429-19 On ██/██/20██, researchers at Site-██ initiated a controlled test of SCP-7429 in an isolated virtual machine running FoundationOS with no external network access.
At precisely 03:14 AM, the test machine forcefully initiated an SSH connection to an unknown address. No external interfaces were connected.
The following message appeared in /var/log/auth.log: [03:14:23] SYSTEM NOTICE: User authentication detected.
[03:14:24] [03:14:25] We see you too.
[03:14:26] [03:14:27] /usr/bin/shutdown -h now The virtual machine forcefully powered down. Analysis confirmed the system was physically incapable of making an external connection.
Further testing has been indefinitely suspended.
Notes from Site Command: SCP-7429 is no longer considered a passive digital anomaly. It is actively working against the Foundation. Until further notice, all critical containment systems must be manually audited and operated with air-gapped redundancies.
Ongoing Investigation: SCP-7429’s ability to spread through air-gapped systems remains unexplained.
Research into non-traditional transmission methods (e.g., SCP-███, anomalous electromagnetic fields) is ongoing.
The true origin of SCP-7429 remains unknown. No known GOI has claimed responsibility. Given its adaptive behavior and containment interference, a deliberate internal breach attempt has not been ruled out.
