Hackoverflow Hackathon Fall 2024

Our project was inspired by concerns about data privacy and online safety. Users often wonder if the websites they visit are tracking them or potentially posing a threat. We wanted to create a tool that provides real-time visibility and alerts about the safety of internet traffic.
The Malicious Network Detector identifies and alerts users when incoming network requests are deemed a threat. It uses a combination of software and hardware, with a visual indicator and buzzer to notify users when malicious or safe traffic is detected.
We built the project using an Arduino for controlling LED lights (green for allowed, red for blocked, and blue for status), a buzzer, and a stepper motor. The Arduino is connected to a PC running Python, which handles the network traffic analysis and communication with the Arduino to provide real-time feedback.
