A cross-platform security tool that gives home users and small offices real visibility into the behavior of every device on their network. Built to reveal activity that consumer routers hide, the appliance provides behavioral monitoring, device discovery, and early anomaly detection through a clean, accessible interface.

Problem
Home networks provide almost no insight into device behavior. Routers show identifiers but lack visibility into connections, traffic patterns, scanning attempts, or unexpected activity. Users cannot determine which devices are present, how they behave, or when behavior deviates from normal, creating blind spots that make network security largely reactive and guess-based.
Approach
The appliance introduces a passive monitoring layer that observes network activity without interfering with traffic. It captures packets, normalizes them into structured signals, and builds a clear behavioral map of every device on the network. The approach prioritizes clarity and stability: behavior is surfaced without alarms or noise, and the UI presents information in a format understandable by non-experts while retaining technical depth for advanced users.

Current implementation delivers operational traffic capture, device detection, and an event-stream engine that converts packet flows into early behavioral insights. The interface now reveals active endpoints and their evolving presence, offering the first clear view of network behavior.
Effective home-network monitoring depends on passive operation, low noise, and interpretable signals. Architecture must remain modular to support upcoming behavioral models without restructuring. Device fingerprinting and baseline tracking emerge as essential components for accurate insights.
Expand device fingerprinting and classification Introduce behavioural baselining and deviation detection Strengthen real-time UI updates Add cross-platform capture (Linux, macOS, optional Raspberry Pi) Integrate optional cloud dashboard for long-term historical data Prepare ground for anomaly-detection and higher-order mapping
