Intrusion Prevention and Counter Attack System (IPCAS) is an open source tool developed to be used during CaptureTheFlag (CTF) Attack/Defense cybersecurity competitions. It provides full service monitoring, looking for incoming malicious HTTP requests. In fact, during such competitions, while you try to steal other participants secret information to get points, they will try to hack your system stealing yours. IPCAS detects when your system has been compromised and, while it prevents the attack to be successful by providing a fake flag to the attacker, it will replay the same malicious request to all the other teams.
IPCAS exploits mitmproxy, monitoring and forwarding request to the specified service.
