EventHorizon

EventHorizon is an open-source framework for deploying and analyzing multiprotocol IoT tarpits.
It provides a modular, containerized environment where each protocol emulator runs inside its own Docker container, and all telemetry data is collected and visualized through a Prometheus + Grafana stack.

🌌 Why the name EventHorizon?

In astrophysics, the event horizon is the boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing can escape.
Similarly, the EventHorizon framework acts as a boundary for malicious network activity:
once an automated scanner crosses into it, the connection cannot progress or escape—it becomes trapped indefinitely.
This captures the essence of what the framework does: slowing, containing, and observing automated attacks without letting them spread.
