🛡️ GhostWall - AI-Based Cyber Threat Detection Framework

GhostWall is a full-stack, completely offline, AI-powered Cyber Threat Detection Framework. Designed with a premium, high-visibility security dashboard, GhostWall serves as a mock defensive operations console. It demonstrates how multi-agent security orchestrations (ADK) can scan network traffic, correlate audit logs, evaluate threat payloads, and trigger active firewall blocks—entirely locally and without external API dependencies.

📊 Visual Walkthrough & Screenshots

💻 System Security HUD

The main dashboard features glassmorphic control cards, a system health score index, real-time restricted IP counters, and throughput meters.

📹 Real-Time Agentic Response Simulation

Watch the local multi-agent system respond step-by-step to a volumetric DDoS attack and sanitize inputs in the payload scanner:

🎯 Key Features

• ADK Multi-Agent System: Orchestrates specialized security agents working in a collaborative pipeline.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): Implements an offline JSON-RPC MCP structure to register resources and tools that agents can query and trigger.
• Threat Simulator: Interactively trigger simulated attack vectors (DDoS, Brute Force, SQL Injection, XSS, Port Scans) and witness immediate real-time defensive reactions.
• Payload Sanitizer Sandbox: An interactive playground demonstrating strict static sanitization methods (SQLi, XSS, Traversal, Command Injection) with zero risk of code execution.
• CLI Utility Skills: Built-in script tools for directory log scanning and independent payload validation.
• Modern Obsidian Styling: Sleek cyberpunk theme featuring glowing neon status indicators, interactive SVG icons, and a custom command-line log viewer.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 18, Vite 5, Lucide Icons, Vanilla HSL CSS Variables (Obsidian glassmorphism design system)
• Backend: Node.js, Express, Body Parser, CORS
• Type Safety: TypeScript 5
• Deployment: Vercel (integrated with Serverless Functions for full-stack compatibility)
• Orchestration: ADK (Agent Development Kit) simulation engine

🤖 Agent Directory & Roles

1. Network Traffic Analyzer Agent: Scans connections for volumetric patterns (e.g. DDoS volume threshold anomalies).
2. Log Parser & Correlation Agent: Links authentication failures with scanning events to spot multi-stage campaigns.
3. Threat Classification & Scoring Agent: Inspects exploit payloads and assigns risk index scores (0-100).
4. Automated Response Mitigation Agent: Determines containment actions (BLOCK_IP, RATE_LIMIT, ISOLATE_SUBNET).

🚀 Quick Setup & Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• npm (v9+)

Local Development

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

   git clone https://github.com/anshikasingh28072006/GhostWall.git
   cd GhostWall
   npm install
   

2. Run the full application locally:

   npm run dev
   

   This concurrent script launches the React client on http://localhost:3000 and proxy-binds to the Express backend API on http://localhost:3001.

CLI Security Tools

You can execute standalone tools directly in your terminal:

# Run log parser skill
npx ts-node server/scripts/log-collector.ts

# Run payload validator skill
npx ts-node server/scripts/payload-validator.ts "SELECT * FROM users WHERE 1=1"

⚡ Vercel Deployment Instructions

GhostWall is deployed as a 100% client-side static React application. There is no backend server setup or API key configuration needed:

1. Push Changes to GitHub: Ensure all local changes are committed and pushed to your repo.
2. Import Project to Vercel:
   • Go to Vercel Dashboard and click Add New -> Project.
   • Import the GhostWall repository.
3. Configure Settings:
