With over 14,000 GitHub stars and a growing global network of security deployments, CrowdSec turns every attack on any participating server into protection for the entire community. The security engine operates as a combined IDS/IPS and WAF, analyzing log sources from Nginx, Apache, SSH, WordPress, and over 50 other services to detect brute force attacks, port scans, web vulnerability exploitation, and credential stuffing in real time. When one server detects a new threat, the attacker's IP is shared through the community blocklist, proactively protecting thousands of other installations before the attacker can reach them. The built-in WAF powered by Coraza v3 inspects HTTP requests at the application layer, validates against OpenAPI schemas, and applies custom rules with flexible AND/OR condition mixing for precise threat detection. Bot detection serves challenge pages with client fingerprinting to distinguish legitimate traffic from automated scrapers and scanners. Remediation components block malicious IPs at multiple infrastructure layers including iptables, nftables, Nginx, HAProxy, Cloudflare, and AWS Security Groups through the detect-here-remedy-there architecture. The scenario-based detection system ships with default rules for common attack patterns and supports custom scenarios written in YAML with an expressive filter language. A centralized console provides real-time visualization of alerts, threat intelligence analysis, and management of multiple distributed security engines. GDPR compliant by design, all log analysis happens locally and raw logs never leave your infrastructure.

Netra watches your network from the side, plugged into a switch mirror port, and turns everything it sees into a live picture of your traffic without ever sitting in the forwarding path. A single binary loads its eBPF collectors in the kernel, so aggregation happens before packets reach user space and multi-gigabit mirror feeds stay observable instead of dropping samples. The dashboard opens on totals, protocol share, and traffic trends, then lets you drill into flows by address, port, domain, or service, check which countries your traffic talks to on a world map, and read the internal topology as a live graph. Domains surface passively from TLS handshakes, public addresses are enriched with country and organization data, and heuristic detectors flag scanning, flooding, and single-host surges, pushing alerts to your team chat with an optional AI-written explanation. You can ask the built-in assistant questions about real recorded history, connect external MCP servers so it can call your own tools while it answers, and stream flows onward to Kafka for other consumers. History rolls into compressed columnar files on a schedule and stays queryable for a month by default.

Network traffic stops being a mystery once ntopng names the hosts, applications, and protocols behind every flow, live in your browser. To find the host saturating an uplink, open the dashboard, which ranks top talkers, countries, autonomous systems, and protocols beside historical charts. To see what a suspicious host is contacting, open its page for traffic, ports, DNS queries, TLS details, and visited sites, plus a map of its conversations. Deep packet inspection recognizes applications such as Facebook, YouTube, and BitTorrent, so charts name the app behind the bytes instead of relying on port numbers alone. The console reads packets from a SPAN port or TAP and NetFlow, sFlow, or IPFIX records from routers and switches through nProbe, so it can cover a single switch or many remote sites. Behavioural checks raise alerts for flows, hosts, and interfaces and send them to email, Discord, Telegram, or webhooks. Active monitoring probes remote hosts over ICMP and HTTP/S, and network discovery lists the devices on your local network. A REST API and Lua scripting pull statistics into your own tools and add custom checks.

Point your routers at Akvorado and every NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow record crossing your network becomes a chart you can interrogate. The web console opens on a live summary of flows per second, exporter count, and traffic split by autonomous system, port, protocol, country, and address family. From there, the visualize page turns stored flows into stacked, line, grid, and heatmap time series, plus Sankey diagrams that show how traffic moves between networks, interfaces, and countries. Filters use a simple SQL-like syntax, so a question like which customers pulled traffic over a transit link last night becomes a query, not a support ticket to your future self. Because the outlet polls each exporter with SNMP or gNMI, flows arrive wearing real interface names, descriptions, and speeds instead of raw ifIndex numbers nobody can read. GeoIP lookups attach country and city to addresses, classification rules tag providers, peers, and connectivity types, and optional BMP sessions add AS paths and BGP communities to every flow. Retention is tiered: raw flows keep full detail for recent days while one-minute, five-minute, and hourly rollups stretch summaries across a year of history. A Grafana plugin is available too, so the same flow data can sit on the dashboards your team already watches.

CrowdSec Web UI provides a centralized web console for monitoring intrusion detection telemetry, managing firewall remediation decisions, and auditing security events across multiple CrowdSec security engines. Administrators can connect several CrowdSec Local API endpoints simultaneously, aggregating threat intelligence and active bans into a unified visual interface. The dashboard displays geographic origins of attacking IP addresses, active remediation durations, and specific scenario triggers such as brute-force authentication attacks or web vulnerability probes. Operators can search through historical alert logs, inspect raw HTTP request details, and drill down into individual IP behaviors to differentiate authentic threats from false positives. Manual intervention tools let security teams enforce custom IP bans, adjust expiration timers, or immediately revoke erroneous bans across all connected bouncers with a single click. Integrated notification pipelines dispatch real-time security alerts to external destinations including ntfy, Gotify, and MQTT message brokers whenever critical thresholds are breached. Built-in Prometheus metrics dashboards visualize processing latencies, parser throughput, and decision counts over customizable time windows.

Fail2Ban quietly bans thousands of bots on a typical VPS and just as quietly keeps the whole story buried in a log file nobody reads, and Fail2Ban Report digs that story out into a dashboard you will actually open. Shell scripts convert each day of fail2ban.log into JSON, and the web interface lays every ban and unban on a searchable, filterable timeline you can slice by jail, server, or time window. Aggregated statistics for today, yesterday, seven days, and thirty days show which jails absorb the most attacks, while markers flag repeat offenders and escalating ban counts so persistent scanners stand out from one-time noise. Blocklists live per jail and per server as plain JSON, and ban or unban actions execute through UFW, giving you permanent bans that survive independently of jail restarts. Bulk actions handle whole ranges at once, with a pending state until the next sync applies them. Multiple servers feed one console through a pull-based HTTPS endpoint, so a fleet of small machines reports to a single pane without exposing SSH. Optional AbuseIPDB and IP-Info lookups add reputation and region context to any address.

Neko Master watches every connection flowing through your Clash, Mihomo, or Surge gateway and turns the stream into a live map of devices, domains, countries, and proxy nodes, so questions that once needed packet captures get answered at a glance. The dashboard refreshes over WebSocket as traffic moves, charting upload and download trends across thirty minutes, one hour, or a full day. Domain views rank every host your network contacts by traffic and connection count, and IP views add ASN and geographic detail, so an unfamiliar endpoint explains itself instead of raising an alarm. Proxy statistics break traffic down per node and per rule, which makes a saturated exit, a misrouted application, or an underused subscription obvious in seconds. One panel watches several gateways at once: add OpenClash backends directly, or install the one-command agent on OpenWrt, Linux, or macOS machines beside remote gateways and let each agent report home. Because agents open the connection outward, gateways behind NAT still report in, and the panel never reaches into your network uninvited. History persists in SQLite by default, and busy networks can dual-write traffic statistics to ClickHouse for larger histories while configuration stays in SQLite. Token-based access control protects the dashboard, dark mode and an installable PWA keep it comfortable on a phone, and the interface switches between English and Chinese.

TapMap draws a computer's live network connections on an interactive world map, so you can watch which applications are talking to which services, where those services sit, and what normal looks like for that machine. A local pipeline scans active sockets, extracts the remote addresses, and enriches them with geolocation from databases stored on the machine itself. Every connection carries the owning application or process, its network operator, and the operating system's verification status for that app, and places that share a location are highlighted when connections overlap. The same view lists local open ports, both TCP listeners and bound UDP sockets, established services on your LAN, and public services whose location could not be mapped. A rolling 30-day history turns raw connections into awareness: an Insights panel surfaces new applications, providers, countries, and ports, plus the most frequent activity, while a Significant Connections log records first sightings and failed verifications. A Daily Activity Report goes further, sorting applications into seen-once, occasional, recurring, and stable patterns, analyzing provider concentration, and charting country activity with detailed timelines. New significant connections can raise a desktop notification or publish to an MQTT broker you configure. Nothing is sent anywhere by default: processing happens locally, with no telemetry.

Bots that knock on your server's login ports are always turned away by Knock-Knock, a multi-protocol honeypot that shows every attempt on a live dashboard. Honeypots answer on the standard ports for SSH, Telnet, FTP, RDP, SMB, SIP, HTTP, and SMTP, with MQTT, Node-RED, Modbus, S7, and SNMP as optional extras. Authentication is always rejected, so no bot ever gets a shell. Who is knocking? The live feed shows each attempt's country, username, password, ISP, IP, and protocol. From where? A 3D globe marks the origin in one of six styles, including an extruded country heat map. Trying what? Leaderboards rank countries, usernames, passwords, ISPs, and IP addresses, and a trivia panel explains why bots favor certain credentials. A protocol filter re-slices the feed, globe, and leaderboards together; SIP shows dialed numbers and toll-call destinations, and RDP shows hostnames and accounts. Too fast? Press the space bar to pause, right-click any knock for details, or switch on a virtual Geiger counter that clicks as attacks arrive. Want to fight back? Download hourly 30-day and 365-day blocklists with recipes for CSF, CrowdSec, ipset, nftables, and pfSense, or query the optional API for any IP, CIDR range, or ASN. Several honeypot servers can stream into one aggregated dashboard. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

NetMap answers the four questions every homelab owner asks in four different tools: what is on my network, what address did it get, is it still up, and why is the firewall shouting about it. Devices you add appear automatically on a visual canvas where you can drag them into place, draw the links between them, and group them into VLANs or separate sites, and the layout is still there when you come back. Behind the map, every device is watched continuously: ping times graphed over history, service checks on the ports you care about, a heartbeat strip that betrays intermittent dropouts, and an uptime percentage that settles arguments. Address management stops being a spreadsheet: define subnets, import the leases your router already handed out, see used and free addresses as a grid, and get warned before a duplicate assignment causes a mysterious outage. Firewall logs stream in live and each entry links to the device it concerns, ready to search by address, port, or protocol. When something new appears, a network scan discovers hosts with their names, hardware addresses, and open ports for review before they join the inventory.

Protecting over 10,000 organizations worldwide with 16,000+ GitHub stars, Wazuh delivers enterprise-grade security operations through a fully open-source platform with zero feature gating. The unified XDR and SIEM solution deploys lightweight agents across Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX endpoints that stream security telemetry to a centralized cluster built on OpenSearch for indexing and the Wazuh Dashboard for visualization and management. Core capabilities include real-time file integrity monitoring with inotify-based detection and who-data attribution, automated vulnerability assessment that correlates software inventories against continuously updated CVE databases, Security Configuration Assessment against CIS benchmarks, rootkit detection, and log data analysis with a rules engine supporting over 3,000 built-in detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques. Wazuh monitors cloud infrastructure at the API level with native modules for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, detects container anomalies through Docker engine integration, and ingests third-party telemetry via syslog and REST APIs from sources like VirusTotal, TheHive, YARA, Suricata, and PagerDuty. Pre-built compliance dashboards and reports cover PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, GDPR, and TSC frameworks. Active response capabilities automatically trigger countermeasures including firewall rule updates, account lockouts, and endpoint isolation when threats are detected. The platform scales horizontally with multi-node clustering for high availability.

Behind one admin panel, DefGuard runs a WireGuard VPN, an identity provider, and multi-factor authentication, so every person and device proves who they are before reaching your private network. Administrators define VPN locations, assign which users and groups may enter each one, and enforce firewall rules that allow or deny traffic per location, with changes applied to gateways in real time. People enroll remotely through a guided self-service flow, register their own laptops and phones, and connect with desktop and mobile clients that show live connection statistics. Sign-in goes well beyond passwords, because the built-in OpenID Connect provider gives internal tools single sign-on, while TOTP codes, WebAuthn and FIDO2 keys, email tokens, and mobile biometrics gate each connection. Directory teams sync accounts from LDAP and Active Directory, or federate sign-in through Google, Microsoft, and custom OpenID providers, instead of maintaining a separate user list. Every authentication, enrollment, and policy change lands in a searchable activity log, and webhooks plus a REST API let surrounding systems react to access events automatically. Gateways keep enforcing access from a local cache when the control plane is unreachable, and several gateways can front the same location for failover.

A man-in-the-middle proxy you run on purpose, mitmproxy lets developers and testers inspect, edit, and replay HTTP and HTTPS traffic from any client. Point a browser, phone, or script at it and every HTTP/1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, WebSocket, and TLS-protected connection appears as a flow you can open, search, and filter. Content views turn payloads from HTML to Protobuf into readable text. Intercept a request or response before it moves on, change its headers, body, or status by hand, then release it, or save the flow and replay it to the client or the server later. Map local and map remote rules answer requests with files or other URLs, while blocklists, anticache, sticky cookies, and proxy authentication cover routine test chores. Choose the interface that fits the job: a keyboard-driven terminal console, mitmweb in the browser with a Capture tab that sets up WireGuard devices with a QR code, or mitmdump for unattended logging in scripts. Proxy modes include regular, local capture, WireGuard, transparent, reverse, upstream, SOCKS5, and DNS. Addons written in Python add custom rewriting, recording, and automation. Teams use it for debugging, testing, privacy measurements, and penetration testing.

Mapping every physical server, virtual machine, container, and network link across a sprawling homelab into a live interactive canvas, Circuit Breaker gives infrastructure operators real-time topology visualization, IP address management, and rack elevation modeling on a single screen. Operators can switch between hierarchical, concentric, cortex ring, radial, and force-directed graph layouts where animated edges reflect link speeds and color-coded status rings display live hardware health. Automated discovery scans local subnets using nmap, SNMP, and ARP while querying Proxmox VE clusters, TrueNAS storage pools, and UniFi controllers, staging newly detected nodes in a review queue before adding them to the map. For multi-site labs or isolated VLANs, lightweight remote agents connect outbound over Noise-encrypted links after fingerprint approval to report host telemetry and run scoped network scans without opening inbound firewall ports. Rack diagrams let administrators drag servers into U slots with cabling overlays using a built-in catalog covering Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Synology, and APC gear alongside live iDRAC, iLO, and UPS metrics. Role-based access control, OIDC single sign-on, TOTP multi-factor authentication, encrypted full-state snapshots, and a SHA-256 hash-chained audit log keep multi-user operations accountable.
