Dusk SentinelPreview

Know the moment you are under attack

Dusk Sentinel watches your server logs, shows every attack attempt on a live dashboard as it happens, and alerts your phone, chat or inbox. It can also block the attacker in the host firewall automatically.

What it does

See attacks live, get alerted, block attackers

01

Real-time detection

Reads SSH, sudo and web access logs to spot brute force, unknown users, admin-panel probes, scanners and exploit payloads such as Log4Shell, SQL injection and path traversal.

02

Campaign grouping

Groups events per attacker into campaigns like 'SSH brute force in progress', so one noisy address produces one alert an hour instead of hundreds.

03

Automatic blocking

Blocks attacking addresses in the host firewall for 24 hours, doubling for repeat offenders up to 30 days, with a never-block list and an Unblock button.

04

Alerts everywhere

Web push to your phone with no third-party service, webhooks for Slack, Mattermost and Discord, email, and an optional daily digest.

05

Canaries and tarpits

Canary usernames and URLs trigger a critical alert and an instant block, and decoy ports hold scanners open while the dashboard totals the time wasted.

06

Fleet dashboard

Enrol other machines with a one-time token and see every device's events, alerts, blocks and exposure findings in one place.
