AppSensor
AppSensor is a framework that provides real-time event detection and response. The initial goal is to provide application layer intrusion detection (self-defending applications), though many types of systems are possible using the framework.
AppSensor has a website with further documentation and is an OWASP project.
Previous releases are tracked here in the releases. The upcoming releases and milestones are tracked in the roadmap.
The AppSensor source code is released under an MIT license. See the accompanying LICENSE.txt file for license content.
