●●SolidShip ItNiche Gem
500 lines of Python does DDoS detection when Cloudflare charges enterprise rates.
Strengths
- •Zero-config, no account, runs locally with scapy packet capture
- •JSON output pipes cleanly to jq for custom tooling and alerting
- •500-line constraint forces simplicity and full auditability
Weaknesses
- •Requires root/sudo for packet capture, limiting deployment scenarios
- •Threshold-based detection is basic compared to ML anomaly tools
