πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ MyZubster – Call for Feedback: What Security Components Should I Add Beyond Kali Linux?

A request to the DEV community for guidance on expanding the security stack and inviting contributions to the open‑source project.
πŸ“Œ Introduction

I've been working on MyZubster – a decentralized marketplace that combines Monero payments, Tari NFTs, AI dispute resolution, and a self‑defending security stack powered by Kali Linux and DeepSeek.

The system is now stable and functional. But before moving forward, I want to make sure I'm not missing any critical security components or tools that could strengthen the platform.
πŸ›‘οΈ What's Already Implemented
Component Purpose Status
Kali Linux Security scanning (nmap, nikto, sqlmap) βœ… Active
DeepSeek AI (Ollama) Log analysis, threat detection, dispute resolution βœ… Active
PaymentMonitor Monero transaction verification βœ… Active
SSL/HTTPS Let's Encrypt βœ… Active
UFW Firewall Port management βœ… Active
Nginx Reverse proxy βœ… Active
Tor Onion Service Censorship‑resistant access πŸ”„ Migrating
Security Bot (Cron) Hourly scans with Kali tools βœ… Active
πŸ€” What's Missing?

I'd like to hear from the community about additional components I should consider.
Specific Questions

Penetration Testing: Beyond nmap, nikto, and sqlmap, what other Kali tools would you recommend for a marketplace handling real‑world assets and Monero payments?

Monitoring & Logging: Should I add tools like Fail2ban, OSSEC, or Wazuh for intrusion detection?

Network Security: Is there value in adding a VPN, Zero‑Tier, or Tailscale layer for internal communication?

Vulnerability Management: Should I integrate tools like OpenVAS, Lynis, or ClamAV?

Real‑time Threat Intelligence: Would tools like Suricata or Snort add value?

Container Security: Since I'm not using Docker, should I consider containerization for isolation?
