The problem it solves

Break-in attempts on your systems can happen quietly, and by the time you notice a pattern of failed logins, real damage may already be done. Watching logs manually isn't realistic when you have a business to run.

Who it fits

Businesses that want an early warning system for suspicious login activity on their websites or applications.

How it works

  1. Checks your system logs on a set schedule
  2. Counts failed login attempts and the IP addresses involved
  3. Compares the count against your alert threshold
  4. Posts a Slack alert with the details if the threshold is crossed
What you get

Suspicious login spikes your team hears about

Your team gets an immediate Slack alert whenever failed login attempts spike past the limit you set.

What you get

A Slack alert summarizing the number of failed logins and the IP addresses involved.

What you need

Access to your system's log data and a Slack account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
