Hi Devs 👋 I’m Adam, a developer working in cybersecurity with a focus on ethical, intelligent defense systems. I recently completed a project called Jave Ethical Defender—a Layer 7 firewall that doesn’t just block traffic, it understands it.
🧠 What Makes Jave Different?
Most firewalls rely on static rules, IP blocklists, or rate limits. Jave takes a different approach:
Behavioral Analysis: It evaluates entropy, intent, and interaction patterns—not just headers.
Non-Retaliatory Defense: No bans, no brute force. Just intelligent containment and misdirection.
Modular & Lightweight: Designed to run on modest hardware with minimal CPU impact.
Ethical by Design: Built to empower users, not extract data or lock features behind paywalls.
In live testing, Jave successfully neutralized a 5,000+ node botnet while using under 10% CPU on a Ryzen 7950X3D. Fail2Ban was running too—but it didn’t catch a single one. Jave did.
🌍 Why I Built It
As someone living with autism, I’ve often found traditional tools and workflows don’t align with how I think or communicate. So I built something that does. Jave is more than a firewall—it’s a reflection of how I believe security should work: adaptive, ethical, and accessible.

Ethical honeypots and deception-based defense
How AI can empower neurodivergent developers
Whether you’re a sysadmin, red teamer, or just curious about smarter firewalls, I’m here to chat.
The future of defense isn’t about building bigger walls—it’s about building smarter ones. Thanks for reading.
