| 6 | + |
| 7 | +**Intrudex** is a *comprehensive*, **lightweight** intrusion detection and prevention system (**IDPS**) specifically designed for **Windows environments**. Leveraging the power of [*Sigma rules*](https://sigmahq.io/)—a community-driven standard for describing log events—Intrudex continuously monitors **Windows Event Logs** to identify *suspicious activity*, *potential threats*, and *indicators of compromise*. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## **_Key Features_** |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- **Real-Time Threat Detection:** Monitors Windows Event Logs and applies [*Sigma rules*](https://sigmahq.io/) to detect suspicious activity as it happens. |
| 12 | +- **Modular Architecture:** Flexible design suitable for both individuals and organizations, allowing easy customization and extension. |
| 13 | +- **Web Dashboard:** Centralized monitoring and management via a user-friendly [*Flask-based dashboard*](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/). |
| 14 | +- **Self-Healing Mechanisms:** Ensures persistent protection, even against attempts to disable or tamper with the system. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +--- |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## **_How It Works_** |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +1. **Log Collection:** Continuously gathers *Windows Event Logs* from the endpoint. |
| 21 | +2. **Sigma Rule Application:** Transforms raw log data into *meaningful alerts* using community-driven [Sigma rules](https://sigmahq.io/). |
| 22 | +3. **Threat Analysis:** Evaluates alerts to determine the severity and nature of detected threats. |
| 23 | +4. **Centralized Monitoring:** Presents all alerts and findings in a web dashboard for easy review and management. |
| 24 | + |
