Demonstrating the complete XDP detection pipeline with MQTT eventing. Shows kernel-level SYN-flood detection, userspace processing, and real-time remote alerting - all in milliseconds.
Validator nodes face constant exposure. This deep dive explains how NullRabbit Guard uses eBPF and XDP to enforce security directly inside the NIC driver, dropping scans and abnormal traffic at line rate before they reach the kernel or your node.
