CIPHER: Edge-AI IoT Security & Threat Response Platform
Autonomous edge packet sniffer with real-time threat scoring, dynamic iptables quarantine, and interactive 3D cybernetic globe telemetry.
System Overview & Abstract
A real-time edge security platform designed to detect, score, and mitigate compromised IoT hardware threats with zero cloud dependency. Deployed on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ gateway, it sniffs network traffic from rogue IoT nodes (ESP32-CAM) executing data exfiltration, Mirai-style UDP floods, and lateral reconnaissance. Using a statistical entropy and packet volume scoring engine, the gateway dynamically injects Linux kernel iptables rules to quarantine malicious nodes within milliseconds while streaming 3D cybernetic telemetry to an interactive command center.

Defender Dashboard — Nominal 3D Cybernetic Globe
Raspberry Pi edge gateway monitoring nominal network traffic with an authenticated ESP32-CAM node connected.
Defender Dashboard — Attack Detection & iptables Auto-Mitigation
Edge engine detects active data exfiltration, triggers a Critical Alert, renders threat particles, and auto-quarantines the node.
Attacker Dashboard — Shadow Cloud C2 Console
Cloud Command & Control interface displaying live exfiltrated camera frames with latency, HUD telemetry, and attack triggers.
Attack Vectors & Autonomous Mitigation
How the Raspberry Pi Scapy sniffer detects and quarantines malicious behavior without cloud AI.
Covert Optical Exfiltration
Snaps 2MP JPEG frames every 500ms and streams them over WAN to a remote GCP cloud endpoint.
Mirai-Style DDoS UDP Flood
Turns IoT camera into a zombie node firing thousands of UDP datagrams per second at targets.
Subnet Recon & Port Scanning
Probes consecutive IPs on local 10.42.0.0/24 subnet for open ports to enable lateral movement.
