Automatic web server monitoring and defensive DoS/DDoS detection with blocking

Project description

webnetwork

webnetwork is a Python package that automatically monitors your web server traffic, detects DoS/DDoS attacks, and blocks malicious IPs in real-time. It supports Linux, Windows, and macOS servers.

Features

  • Automatic host IP detection
  • Web server log monitoring (Nginx, Apache)
  • Live packet sniffing for TCP/SYN floods
  • Automatic IP blocking (iptables on Linux/macOS, Windows firewall)
  • Cross-platform support
  • Minimal configuration required

Installation

pip install webnetwork

Usage

Fully Automatic

Automatically detects logs and interfaces:

import webnetwork

webnetwork.start()

Specify Logfile or Network Interface

import webnetwork

# Only monitor log file
webnetwork.start(logfile="/var/log/nginx/access.log")

# Only monitor network interface
webnetwork.start(iface="eth0")

# Monitor both
webnetwork.start(logfile="/var/log/nginx/access.log", iface="eth0")

Notes

  • Local blocking requires admin/root privileges.
  • Automatically tries to detect common log files (/var/log/nginx/access.log, /var/log/apache2/access.log, /var/log/httpd/access_log).
  • Live packet sniffing requires scapy and may need root/admin privileges.
  • Monitors traffic continuously and logs alerts to alerts.csv.

Configuration

Thresholds for detection can be tuned by modifying detector.py:

LOG_CHECK_INTERVAL = 1.0
WINDOW_SECONDS = 10
REQS_PER_IP_THRESHOLD = 50
TOTAL_RPS_THRESHOLD = 200
UNIQUE_IP_ENTROPY_THRESHOLD = 0.5
SYN_RATE_THRESHOLD = 100
SYN_TO_ACK_RATIO = 5.0
