What is CrowdSecure?
CrowdSecurebeta is a cloud based intrusion reporting system that allows system administrators to report attempted attacks via a REST based reporting system. It was originally designed to be a distributed system to block SIP attacks on Asterisk servers, but has since been expanded to support the reporting of attacks against any network protocol.
Once attacks are reported, the system aggregates and scores the data, producing a "blacklist" of hosts with an associated score that can be used for various network security applications. For users running blogs or other web based services, the blacklist can be accessed in real time to determine if data (such as a blog comment) should be accepted.
The power of CrowdSecure comes from the ability to aggregate and score data from a large number of hosts, resulting in proactive network security decisions that are often better than could have been made by a single user.
