🛡 CrowdSec: Open‑Source, Crowd‑Powered Defense

Tired of fighting cyber threats alone? CrowdSec turns security into a team sport. It’s a free, open‑source IDS/IPS and WAF that detects suspicious activity, blocks bad actors, and shares threat intel with a global community.

Why it’s different:

  • Crowdsourced protection – one detects, all defend.
  • Flexible remediation – block, challenge, or throttle threats at the right layer.
  • Cross‑platform – Linux, Windows, Docker, Kubernetes, and more.

How it works:

  1. Detect attacks from logs and traffic.
  2. Apply countermeasures.
  3. Share intel with the network.

Get started:

curl -s https://install.crowdsec.net | bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
