Day 14 — I Built ProcWatch : A Linux Process Security Scanner for Forensics & Incident Response
📰 Dev.to · Hafiz Shamnad
Build a Linux process security scanner for forensics and incident response using Python
Action Steps
- Build a Python script to monitor Linux processes using the psutil library
- Run the script to collect process data and identify potential anomalies
- Configure the script to send alerts for suspicious activity
- Test the script in a controlled environment to refine its detection capabilities
- Apply the script in a real-world scenario to detect and respond to security incidents
Who Needs to Know This
Security engineers and incident response teams can benefit from this tool to detect anomalies in Linux processes, while developers can learn from the experience of building a small Python script into a live anomaly detector
