Building an Ephemeral Email Header & Attachment Analyzer (Open Source Project)

Email attacks are still the #1 vector for breaches. To help security teams, I built an Ephemeral Email Analyzer that:

Parses headers (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, routing anomalies)

Runs WHOIS, DNS, and reputation checks (VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB)

Scans attachments with YARA + entropy analysis

Streams real-time logs via WebSockets

Stores results ephemerally (auto-clears in 15 mins)

💡 Built with FastAPI, React, YARA, dnspython and external threat intel APIs.

Would love feedback & suggestions — especially from security engineers who deal with phishing daily!
