The goal of this project is to demonstrate cybersecurity defenses of enterprise networks by implementing and evaluating firewall configurations and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).

• Firewall Configuration: A firewall to control and monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules.

• Intrusion Detection System (IDS): An IDS to detect and respond to potential security threats and attacks within the network.

• Rate Limiting: Rate limiting to control the number of requests from clients and prevent abuse of server resources.

• Client Tracking: Tracks client activity and access patterns to identify suspicious behavior and potential security threats.

• Error Handling: Redirects clients to error pages or return appropriate status codes to handle blocked access or detected security threats.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/blakley/Firewall-And-IDS.git

pip install -r requirements.txt

python3 server.py

http://localhost:9000/

• Firewall Rules: Customize firewall rules in firewall_config.json to define allowed and denied traffic patterns.

• Intrusion Detection System: Configure IDS rules and thresholds in ids_config.json to detect and respond to security threats.

• Rate Limiting: Adjust rate limiting parameters in server.py to control the maximum number of requests from clients.
