🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or higher
pip (Python package manager)
Basic understanding of networking and security concepts
Administrative privileges (for some detection scripts)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/s4ntrx/cybersecurity-threats-guide.git
cd cybersecurity-threats-guide

./tools/setup_tools.sh

💻 Usage

Running Detection Scripts

Navigate to the specific threat category and run the detection script:

cd 01-network-security/ddos-attacks/detection/
python ddos_detection.py --interface eth0 --threshold 1000

Implementing Prevention

Check the prevention folder in each category for implementation examples:

# Example: SQL Injection Prevention
from prevention.parameterized_queries import safe_query
result = safe_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = %s", (user_email,))
