🛡️ Threatburnr

ML-Based Adaptive Web Application Firewall with Threat Intelligence

📖 What is Threatburnr?

Traditional website security is often too rigid, relying on "wanted posters" to catch known bad actors while letting new threats slip right through.

Threatburnr is a smart, all-in-one digital bodyguard for your web applications. It sits at your front door, inspecting every visitor, checking global threat lists, learning normal behavior using Machine Learning, and automatically trapping attackers — all while giving you a clear, easy-to-read dashboard.

✨ Key Features

🧠 Machine Learning Brain

Learns what "normal" traffic looks like for your specific website to catch brand-new, never-before-seen attacks simply because they act unnatural.

🌍 Global Threat Intelligence

Checks incoming visitors against global databases of known bad actors (like AbuseIPDB). If they are a known threat worldwide, the door stays shut.

🪤 Invisible Digital Traps (Honeypots)

Sets up fake, hidden doors (like /secret-admin). The moment an automated robot tries to open one, they are instantly and permanently banned.

📜 The Rule Enforcer

A massive library of known attack patterns to instantly block common threats.

🚨 Active Slack Alerts

Doesn't just log attacks silently. Threatburnr automatically stops the threat and sends a plain-English alert directly to your team's chat.

📊 Beautiful Dashboard

A live visual control panel showing exactly who is visiting, what attacks were blocked, and where they came from.

🏗️ How It Works

Instead of blocking immediately on a single minor mistake, Threatburnr uses a sophisticated Dynamic Scoring System:

1. The Front Door
   Traffic arrives and is checked to ensure it isn't a massive, overwhelming wave.

2. The Inspection
   The traffic is simultaneously checked by:

   • Rule Enforcer
   • Machine Learning Brain
   • Digital Traps
   • Threat Intelligence lists

3. The Score
   Signals from all these systems are combined to create a Threat Score.

4. The Decision

   • If the score is safe → the user gets right in.
   • If the score is too high → the system automatically bans them and sends an alert.
