Welcome to Flowhawk, a powerful real-time eBPF-powered network security monitor designed to detect and analyze threats with precision and speed. Our tool harnesses the power of AI to identify port scans, DDoS attacks, botnet activity, and other anomalies at speeds exceeding 100Gbps, with sub-microsecond latency. Flowhawk processes around 150 million packets per second, making it a robust solution for modern cybersecurity challenges.
- Real-time Monitoring: Detect threats as they happen, ensuring immediate response to potential breaches.
- eBPF Technology: Utilize extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) for efficient packet processing and analysis.
- AI-Driven Threat Detection: Employ machine learning techniques to identify and classify anomalies in network traffic.
- High Throughput: Handle over 100Gbps of network traffic with low latency, ensuring no packets are lost.
- Comprehensive Threat Detection: Identify a range of threats including:
- Port Scans
- DDoS Attacks
- Botnet Activity
- Zero-Day Exploits
- User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive dashboard for monitoring and analysis.
- Customizable Alerts: Set alerts for specific types of traffic or anomalies.
To get started with Flowhawk, you need to download the latest release. You can find it here. Download the appropriate file for your system and follow the installation instructions below.

Once installed, you can start using Flowhawk to monitor your network. The following sections outline basic commands and configurations.
To start monitoring, simply run:
sudo ./flowhawk startFlowhawk allows for customizable settings. You can modify the configuration file located at config.yaml. Here are some key parameters:
- alert_threshold: Set the threshold for alerts.
- monitoring_interfaces: Specify which network interfaces to monitor.
- logging_level: Choose the verbosity of logs (info, debug, error).
After starting Flowhawk, you can access the dashboard via your web browser at http://localhost:8080. The dashboard provides real-time visualizations of network traffic, detected threats, and system performance.
Flowhawk is built on a robust architecture that leverages several key components:
- eBPF Programs: These programs run in the Linux kernel and filter packets efficiently.
- Data Collection: Flowhawk collects and processes network data in real-time.
- Machine Learning Models: AI algorithms analyze the data for threat detection.
- User Interface: A web-based dashboard displays insights and alerts.
- Packet Capture: eBPF captures packets at the kernel level.
- Data Processing: Flowhawk processes the data using machine learning models.
- Alert Generation: The system generates alerts based on detected anomalies.
- User Notification: Users receive notifications through the dashboard.
