//! # Ghost - Cross-Platform Process Injection Detection Framework
//!
//! Ghost is a comprehensive security framework for detecting process injection,
//! memory manipulation, and advanced evasion techniques in running processes.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **Multi-layer detection**: Combines memory analysis, behavioral patterns,
//! and machine learning for accurate threat detection.
//! - **MITRE ATT&CK integration**: Maps detected behaviors to the MITRE ATT&CK
//! framework for standardized threat classification.
//! - **Cross-platform support**: Works on Windows, Linux (with eBPF), and macOS.
//! - **Threat intelligence**: Integrates with threat feeds for IOC correlation.
//! - **Performance optimized**: Designed for low-overhead continuous monitoring.
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use ghost_core::{DetectionEngine, process, memory, thread};
//!
//! // Create detection engine
//! let mut engine = DetectionEngine::new().expect("Failed to create engine");
//!
//! // Enumerate and analyze processes
//! let processes = process::enumerate_processes().expect("Failed to enumerate");
//!
//! for proc in &processes {
//! if let Ok(regions) = memory::enumerate_memory_regions(proc.pid) {
//! let threads = thread::enumerate_threads(proc.pid).ok();
//! let result = engine.analyze_process(proc, &regions, threads.as_deref());
//!
//! if result.threat_level != ghost_core::ThreatLevel::Clean {
//! println!("Suspicious: {} (PID: {})", proc.name, proc.pid);
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Module Overview
//!
//! - [`detection`]: Core detection engine orchestrating all analysis.
//! - [`process`]: Process enumeration and information gathering.
//! - [`memory`]: Memory region analysis and protection detection.
//! - [`thread`]: Thread enumeration and behavioral analysis.
//! - [`shellcode`]: Shellcode pattern detection and signature matching.
//! - [`hollowing`]: Process hollowing detection algorithms.
//! - [`evasion`]: Anti-analysis and evasion technique detection.
//! - [`anomaly`]: Statistical anomaly detection using ML.
//! - [`mitre_attack`]: MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping.
//! - [`threat_intel`]: Threat intelligence correlation.
