RUDRAS
A firewall that learns like an immune system. RUDRAS replaces brittle rule-stacks with adaptive, MITRE-aligned detection — classifying, isolating, and remembering hostile flows in real time for Zero-Trust egress.
Problem
Traditional rule-based firewalls struggle with unknown threats — polymorphic malware, encrypted C2, and zero-day exploitation chains that defeat signature controls. RUDRAS assumes a compromised perimeter and treats every packet as untrusted until behaviorally vouched for.
Architecture
Rust + Python pipeline performing deep packet inspection, IDS/IPS integration, live packet capture, anomaly detection, CVE feed integration, and Linux kernel hardening. 34+ parallel safeguards run as composable checks under a behavioral scoring engine.
Security Relevance
Built for Zero-Trust networks with adaptive detection mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques. Designed for SOC handoff — every block ships with attack-chain context, severity, and a recommended response.
Proof
Best Research Paper at ICNEXT'26 (peer-reviewed and indexed). Reference implementation on GitHub; Windows port and federated memory sharing on the roadmap.
