HookProbe Threat Landscape Report — June 2026

Executive Summary

This report covers threat intelligence collected by HookProbe's edge IDS deployment during June 2026. All data comes from a production Raspberry Pi 5 running the NAPSE AI-native intrusion detection engine, HYDRA threat intelligence pipeline, and AEGIS autonomous defense system.

HookProbe processed 19496713 security events this month, classified 455101 ML verdicts, tracked 392570 unique IP addresses, and analyzed 0 network flows totaling 0 GB of traffic.

ML Classification Results

The SENTINEL ML ensemble classified 455101 IP behaviors this month:

  • Benign: 327984 (72%) — normal traffic, no action taken
  • Suspicious: 56250 (12%) — elevated monitoring, behavioral tracking
  • Malicious: 70867 (15%) — escalated to cognitive throttling or blocking

IP Risk Distribution

HYDRA profiled 392570 unique IP addresses with composite risk scores:

  • Critical (0.8+): 2196 IPs (0%)
  • High (0.5-0.8): 136278 IPs (34%)
  • Medium (0.2-0.5): 213812 IPs (54%)
  • Low (<0.2): 40284 IPs (10%)

Indicators of Compromise

0 new IoCs were discovered this month (4150 active total). All indicators are IP-based, sourced from behavioral analysis by the SENTINEL ML pipeline and correlated with Spamhaus DROP and FireHOL blocklists.

Attack Pattern Intelligence

The SENTINEL pattern mining engine discovered 2655 attack patterns and identified 0 coordinated campaigns. The predictive engine generated 107243 proactive alerts for preemptive defense.

Network Flow Analysis

NAPSE processed 0 network flows totaling 0 GB of inspected traffic. Autonomous blocking issued 0 throttle/block actions against 0 unique IPs.

Security Posture

The QSecBit security score averaged 87/100 throughout June 2026, maintaining GREEN (Protected) status. The score remained stable, indicating consistent defense posture without degradation events.

Key Takeaways

  • Rate limiting remains the primary defense mechanism, handling 44% of all security events from just 163 aggressive source IPs
  • The ML pipeline correctly identified 72% of traffic as benign — low false positive rate
  • 2196 critical-risk IPs were identified and tracked — representing active threat actors
  • All detection and response ran autonomously on a Raspberry Pi 5 with zero manual intervention

About This Report

This threat intelligence is generated from a production HookProbe deployment running on a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB RAM). The system uses NAPSE (AI-native IDS), HYDRA (threat intelligence pipeline), SENTINEL (ML classification), and AEGIS (autonomous defense) — all open-source under AGPL v3.0.

Data is collected, processed, and published automatically. No data is fabricated or simulated. View the source code on GitHub.

I found the high percentage of benign traffic identified by the ML pipeline to be particularly interesting, with 72% of traffic being classified as normal. I'm wondering if the authors have considered exploring the false negative rate, as well, to get a more comprehensive understanding of the system's effectiveness. Additionally, I think it would be beneficial to include more information on the 2196 critical-risk IPs that were identified, such as their geographical distribution or common characteristics. This could provide valuable insights for further research and improvement of the HookProbe system.
