DETECT-U

Intrusion detection systems are crucial for identifying attacks on computer systems and networks. This project focuses on developing a Host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) called DETECT-U. The system comprises three components: the client-side, the server-side, and the analyzer. The client-side records and stores the running processes in a CSV format and transmits them to the server. The server, which is in a listening state, cleans the CSV file and analyzes it using the analyzer module. The analyzer applies a set of predefined rules to identify suspicious files. If any suspicious files are detected, the server sends an alert in the form of a pop-up notification to the client. The entire system is implemented in Python and operates through command-line programs.
