Trapster

What it does

Trapster makes deception security simple and actionable. It deploys realistic decoys, servers, credentials, files and services, across your network to detect attackers at first contact. Because legitimate users have no reason to interact with decoys, alerts are high-confidence with minimal false positives. Trapster also captures attacker activity and integrates with existing SOC tools through Syslog, REST API, Slack, Teams and more.

Detect network intrusions in real time with Trapster. Honeypots ready in 5 minutes, instant alerts, zero false positives. Book a 30-minute demo with our team.

Trapster deploys decoys (fake servers, credentials and files) on your network. As soon as an attacker touches one, you receive an instant and reliable alert. No configuration, no false positives, no SOC fatigue. EDR, SIEM and XDR generate oceans of signals. Analysts spend their days proving what is not a threat. Real intrusions get lost in the noise. with a pre-configured template or a wide selection of services (HTTP, FTP, SSH, SMB, DNS, LDAP, etc.) with a pre-configured template or a wide selection of services (HTTP, FTP, SSH, SMB, DNS, LDAP, etc.) Fake servers, databases, credentials and files, indistinguishable from your real systems.

  TheProtector – Linux Bash script for the paranoid admin on a budget2025 · github.com · ▲167

  Hi HN, I spent the past year building this in my spare time because I got tired of enterprise security tools that cost $50K/year and don't understand Linux. TheProtector is a comprehensive security monitoring tool that actually runs on the systems we use (Linux) instead of being a Windows-first afterthought. Built it entirely on a $500 laptop because I believe good security shouldn't require unlimited budgets. Features: - Real-time process, network, and file monitoring - YARA malware detection with custom rules - eBPF kernel monitoring (when available) - Behavioral baseline…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
