Show HN: Preempt Web Attacks
I have been working on pivoting this technology for a potential Beta for a while now.
Project site: http://malleablebyte.org
The FAQ has a short intro to what I am trying to accomplish with this project.
I am working on solving the problem of spam traffic and applying it to web security. I am interested in figuring out the question of predicting malicious intent using spam traffic for website and IoT.
I do this using simple statistics on web traffic data to do anomaly detection. On top of that, I use touchdowns and the trajectory of data to answer the question of ‘malicious intent’ rather than relying on the obvious outlier analysis alone. I now call this approach digital storm chasing much like weather storm chasing. :D
I would love to have people in HN to try it out and give some feedback.
- brudgers 10y agoTo me, there are so many technical details absent from the web page that at the important level of abstraction I have no idea what malleablebyte does. By which I mean the site does not provide a basis for making a technical decision. It seems targeted at 'my manager' and when 'my manager' comes to me after watching the video and directs me to investigate, there's no relevant information. I can't even tell if it's software I install, a service I subscribe to, what data I need to provide, or how I need to provide it. There's no information upon which to base a business decision. Good luck.
- malleablebyte 10y agoThank you for your feedback. I will work on providing that.
- malleablebyte 10y agoOk added some more technical details in the FAQ. Let me know if it is still not enough. Really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
