CyberThreatGotchi Edge IPS with a Tamagotchi soul

Your network's Tamagotchi guardian. Real threats in | mood out | evidence saved. Open source | MIT | v1.1.0

CypherTek Rache enclosure - CyberThreatGotchi edge IPS hardware on BPI-R3 Mini

Not a toy firewall.
A field sensor with soul.

  • Live packet capture or simulation mode for dev
  • Signatures, YARA, ClamAV, SHA256 deny-list scoring
  • IPS auto-block on Linux (iptables)
  • SQLite threat log + tamper-evident audit chain
  • Flask web UI with Feed / Pet controls
  • Webhooks to SOC, Bjorn bridge, or custom receivers
  • Pro threat-feed API (Stripe-ready subscriptions)

Meet Cipherhorn

Cipherhorn is your unicorn CISO - business suit, mask, and a mood that tracks threat pressure in real time. Idle when calm. Alert on scans. Attack mode when IPS fires.

Three cat sentinels back the personas: business risk, mass-market alerts, and SOC analyst mode. Sprites animate on the web; e-ink gets the retro Tamagotchi treatment.

Under the hood

Sniffer

Scapy live capture on BPI-R3 Mini | auto-simulation on Windows dev.

Detector

Port scan heuristics + signature engine + AV pipeline.

Gotchi FSM

Hunger, happiness, security XP, level-ups on handled threats.

Displays

Terminal | Flask web | Waveshare e-ink | SPI LCD arcade shell.

Print it. Flash it. Desk it.
