DDoS detection in 500 lines of Python (MIT, no cloud, no account)

This project implements a lightweight, real-time DDoS detection system in under 500 lines of Python, designed for security engineers and network administrators who want a self-contained, cloud-free solution. It analyzes network traffic using entropy-based algorithms to identify volumetric attacks without requiring external accounts or proprietary infrastructure. Its appeal lies in demonstrating that effective, production-grade security monitoring can be built from scratch with minimal code, offering full transparency and control.
