ULTRA Documentation

Conceptual Overview

WebShield ULTRA is the enterprise edition with encrypted kernel-based threat detection. It integrates with php-next ULTRA encoders for complete application hardening.

How ULTRA fits in your stack

ULTRA operates at the PHP runtime level, before your application code executes:

Request
→
ULTRA VM
→
Your App

The UltraVM analyzes requests using encrypted rules from kernel.rtb. No plain-text patterns are exposed.

License & Kernel Files

ULTRA requires:

  • License ID – Validated against license server
  • kernel.rtb – Encrypted runtime binary with threat detection rules
  • encrypted_rules.bin – Additional encrypted rule set
  • opcode_map.dat – Opcode mapping for UltraVM

⚠️ Kernel files are generated by php-next ULTRA encoder toolchain and are installation-specific.

Integration with php-next ULTRA

ULTRA runtime defense is designed to work alongside php-next PRO / ULTRA encoders. Together, they provide:

  • Encrypted application code (php-next encoder)
  • Encrypted runtime rules (WebShield ULTRA)
  • License-based access control
  • Forensic logging with license tracking
