Crowdsec is an open-source solution that offers crowdsourced protection against malicious IPs. For this project, the developers have two objectives: ‣ Provide free top-quality intrusion detection and protection software. There’s community participation in creating new detection rules as new vulnerabilities are uncovered. ‣ Share and validate the attackers’ IPs with the network participants to render hackers’ resources useless as soon as possible. A consensus system gives a real-time actionable blocklist with no false positives. https://lnkd.in/dxRn6gA5 Julien Devouassoud - CrowdSec - GitHub #GitHub #software #opensource #cybersecurity #netsec #security #infosecurity #cybersecuritynews #securitynews
