+# Dentata
+
+This is a project to replace fail2ban with a modern, simpler alternative.  It's written in Go, and
+will have the following design philosophy:
+
+1. Easy to manage from the command line. No more, "Uhh what jail is that IP in?"
+2. Sane configuration that can be managed or generated by external tools.  No more weird .ini file
+   with strange dual configurations where you have no idea where anything is.  The philosophy will
+be similar to Caddy.
+3. Ruthless blocking.  None of this, "But what if it's a legit uuuussserrr?!" Legit users don't poke
+   around on random ports and send hack attempts.  Fuck them. Blocked.
+4. Uses simpler tactics to catch scanners and hack attempts instead of (or in addition to) log
+   parsing.  For example, opening trap TCP/IP ports and then blocking anyone that touches them.
+5. Potentially detecting basic intrusions like a process becoming root and notifying you, or, like,
+   telling you whenever there's a login on the server.
+6. Actually using a database you can access and analyze for reports and management.  At first just a
+   simple SQLite3 database where the data is stored, but then later whatever you want.
+7. A focus on individuals who run their own servers and just want a simple way to block most of the
+   bad actors.
+
+## Non-Features
+
+What Dentata will not be:
+
+1. A full blown intrusion detection system.  At most it'll notify you whenever there's a login, but
+   after that, if someone gets on your server you're fucked.  Nothing will save you but your backups
+and shutting it down right away.
+2. Some trillion dollar corporation's servant.  It will be aimed at the little operations and
+   individuals, and not try to appease giant corporations who probably will only exploit it.  You
+want Prometheus talking to an Elastic Search?  Go write it yourself or go fuck yourself.
+3. Open source.  Open source is dead people.  It'll be free to use by everyone except businesses
+   that make over $10 million.  Even in that case, the tone of the project will probably turn them
+off and, honestly, who gives a fuck.  They're leeches anyway.
+
+## Wanna Participate?
+
+I may change my mind on all this if there's some interested beginners and junior developers who'd
+like to help.  It could be a good project to learn about quite a few topics in devops and system
+security, and there's a need for projects aimed at beginners to learn how to work on software with
+other people.  I'll let you know if the above changes and I'm looking for folks to contribute.
