# Firewall and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Demo
## Introduction
The goal of this project is to demonstrate cybersecurity defenses of enterprise networks by implementing and evaluating firewall configurations and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).
## Features
- **Firewall Configuration:** A firewall to control and monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules.
- **Intrusion Detection System (IDS):** An IDS to detect and respond to potential security threats and attacks within the network.
- **Rate Limiting:** Rate limiting to control the number of requests from clients and prevent abuse of server resources.
- **Client Tracking:** Tracks client activity and access patterns to identify suspicious behavior and potential security threats.
- **Error Handling:** Redirects clients to error pages or return appropriate status codes to handle blocked access or detected security threats.
## Usage
Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/blakley/Firewall-And-IDS.git
```
## Installation
### Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Run the application:
```bash
python3 server.py
```
### Access the application in your web browser:
```bash
http://localhost:9000/
```
### Configuration Notes
- **Firewall Rules:** Customize firewall rules in `firewall_config.json` to define allowed and denied traffic patterns.
- **Intrusion Detection System:** Configure IDS rules and thresholds in `ids_config.json` to detect and respond to security threats.
- **Rate Limiting:** Adjust rate limiting parameters in `server.py` to control the maximum number of requests from clients.
