Risk Analyzer

Risk Analyzer is a python based server module that takes an IP address & returns a risk score in range of 0 to 100. It is an integral part of Intrusion Detection System project & will be used to make authorization decisions based on it's risk analysis of the client IP address.

Getting Started

To clone the project in your local systems:

$ git clone https://github.com/piyush-palta/risk-analyzer.git

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed all of the following prerequisites on your development machine:

• Git - Download & Install Git. OSX and Linux machines typically have this already installed.
• Python - Download & Install Python. For linux machines, you can also use this Python Docs to install Python.
• pip - Download & Install pip. Make sure you've installed python first.

Installing

The below command will start the riskAnalyzer server :

$ python main.py

To configure host and port by yourself :

$ python main.py host_name port_number

Running the tests

Before running tests make sure you execute the following command. This will ensure all files are compiled :

$ python main.py

To run all tests, run the following command in project directory :

$ python -m unittest

This will test all components. But before running this command it's essential that you start the server using following command :

$ python main.py

To run each test separately :

$ python -m unittest test_name.py

Future development Strategy

• The project isn't optimized for scaling purposes yet. Server is opening only one socket, and Synchronous processing is done. To optimize this, threading will be introduced.
