What it does

Sentinel is a developer-first security monitoring platform for SaaS and APIs. It detects bots, fraud, and abnormal behavior in real time, giving actionable alerts before damage happens. Lightweight, easy to integrate, and affordable — unlike bloated enterprise SIEMs, Sentinel keeps your apps safe without the complexity.

Stop 92% of bot signups without CAPTCHAs. Sentinel is the CAPTCHA alternative for APIs: sub-50ms trust decisions using infrastructure forensic signals.

Sentinel establishes absolute trust at the edge. We bypass legacy CAPTCHA friction and probabilistic guessing, replacing them with cryptographic intent verification and structural telemetry. Sentinel was engineered by infrastructure security veterans who were tired of watching CAPTCHAs fail, WAFs misfire, and rate limiters punish legitimate users. We took a different approach: deterministic trust from structural data alone. Every connection to your API is a packet of raw infrastructure intelligence — ASN topology, behavioral entropy, carrier-level provenance. We parse it all in under 50ms and return a single, mathematically-grounded verdict. const result = await sentinel.check(req.ip, {…from sentinel.risksignal.name.ng

    dish is a lightweight, 0 dependency monitoring tool in the form of a small binary executable. Upon execution, it checks the provided sockets (which can be provided in a JSON file or served by a remote JSON API endpoint). The results of the check are then reported to the configured channels. It started as a learning project and ended up proving quite handy. Me and my friend have been using it to monitor our services for the last 3 years. We have refactored the codebase to be a bit more presentable recently and thought we'd share on here! The currently supported channels include: - Telegram -…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
