Score DNS threats with VirusTotal, Abuse.ch, HashiCorp Vault and Gemini

Stop fighting alerts and start orchestrating intelligence.

This workflow is a complete ecosystem designed to combat network threats in real-time. It transforms raw DNS logs into structured knowledge, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to make decisions that previously required hours of manual work by a SOC analyst. Real-World Problems it Solves:

Manual Threat Analysis: Automates the process of verifying suspicious domains and IP addresses across multiple CTI sources simultaneously.

Security Credential Management: Eliminates the risk of API key leaks through native integration with HashiCorp Vault.

Alert Fatigue: Thanks to built-in filtering logic, the system only notifies you when the AI Threat Score exceeds 5 (Malicious/Critical).

Data Fragmentation: Consolidates data from multiple CTI providers into a single, cohesive technical report.

Core System Components:

The workflow manages and communicates with the following elements of your infrastructure:

Traffic Capture: Monitors passive DNS traffic to identify new Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).

Secret Engine: HashiCorp Vault provides database credentials and API tokens dynamically during workflow execution.

Intelligence Layer: Features three independent scanning branches: VirusTotal, Abuse_URLhaus, and Abuse_ThreatFox.

AI Brain: Google Gemini AI acts as a "Senior Security Analyst," correlating data and generating verdicts in both English and Polish.

Automated Response: An email notification system triggered exclusively for confirmed high-risk threats.

Release v1.0.0 Highlights

This release (available on https://github.com/lukaszFD/cyber-sentinel/releases) marks the first fully stable production-ready version of the system.

Key features of this release:

Full Ansible Orchestration: The entire stack—including Nginx, Vault, databases, and n8n—is deployed automatically using Ansible playbooks.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Secure deployment based on Ansible Vault, requiring only the population of credentials and the presence of a .vault_pass file.

Production-Ready: The system has been rigorously tested for stability in both Debian (Proxmox) and Raspberry Pi 5 environments.
