Static Intrusion Detection System
A Python script analyzes IDS log data to detect suspicious activities like high packet rates, SSH brute force attempts, port scanning, and MAC spoofing within 5-minute windows. It prints alerts for these events while avoiding duplicates and uses customizable port-based thresholds from a CSV file.
Password Strength Checker
A Python script that evaluates the strength of a password by analyzing its length, complexity, repetition patterns, and presence in a common password list, then scores it and gives feedback.
IP Scope Manager
A Python script that is designed to help cybersecurity professionals manage IP address scopes efficiently. It allows users to add or remove IP ranges from a working set, validates input using Python’s ipaddress module, and provides clear feedback on invalid entries and operation results.
