AppSensor is a framework that provides real-time event detection and response. The initial goal is to provide application layer intrusion detection (self-defending applications), though many types of systems are possible using the framework.
AppSensor has a website with further documentation and is an OWASP project.
Previous releases are tracked here in the releases. The upcoming releases and milestones are tracked in the roadmap.
The AppSensor source code is released under an MIT license. See the accompanying LICENSE.txt file for license content.
If you are just wanting to get a demo going, see the sample-apps/DemoSetup.md guide.
AppSensor is a multi-module maven project. The project requires Java version 7 or higher. Building is generally handled by the following steps
-
clone the repo (or your fork)
git clone https://github.com/jtmelton/appsensor.git -
get into appsensor directory
cd appsensor -
install multi-module parent - one time requirement per version
mvn -N install -
run the tests - done every time you make changes
mvn test
