πŸš€ What I Do

Building in Public

I create small, focused infrastructure tools and homelab prototypes that solve real problems. My approach: build minimal, break intentionally, document thoroughly, and ship working (not perfect).

My specialty:

  • πŸ” Security tooling with transparency (no black boxes)
  • 🏠 Homelab infrastructure on budget hardware
  • πŸ“ Over-documentation (intentionally verbose READMEs)
  • πŸ” Postmortems that show failures, not just wins

Philosophy: If I can't audit it at 3 AM, I don't run it as root.

⭐ Sentinel-SSH β€” SSH Intrusion Detection That Actually Makes Sense

πŸ“Š Project Stats

Python Version License Status

🎯 Why I Built This:

I wanted SSH security I could actually audit at 3 AM β€” no black boxes, no "trust me bro" configs. Sentinel-SSH watches your journald logs, detects brute-force patterns, and auto-blocks attackers.

✨ Key Features:

  • ⚑ Real-time journald log parsing
  • 🧠 Smart brute-force detection (sliding windows)
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Temporary UFW blocks (won't lock you out)
  • πŸ“Š Prometheus metrics built-in
  • πŸ“ Over-documented (150+ line README)

πŸ”§ Stack: Python β€’ systemd β€’ journald β€’ UFW β€’ Prometheus
