Pigasus

Crossroads FPGA Project

Pigasus is an intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS) that achieves performance of up to 100 Gbps using a single FPGA-equipped server. Pigasus' innovative FPGA design ensures that most packets are processed entirely on the FPGA, while some packets that require more detailed evaluation are sent to the CPU. This enables high performance and scalability, keeping network security at optimal levels without compromising processing speed.

Pigasus solves the problem of intrusion detection and prevention in high-traffic environments by providing a solution that combines high performance with security precision. Its ability to process large volumes of data at high speeds without compromising security makes it ideal for organizations that handle large amounts of network traffic.

**Network Inspection and Analysis:** Deep inspection of network packets and traffic for security analysis. **Protocol Analysis:** Understanding and decoding various network protocols for enhanced monitoring. **Real-Time Data Processing:** Hardware integration for handling high volumes of network data in real time. **Modular Software Architecture:** Allows for customization and scalability in network monitoring tasks. **Threat Detection:** Advanced mechanisms for identifying potential security threats and anomalies. **Plugin Architecture:** Supports extensions and customizations to adapt to specific network environments.

Implements a modular software design, organized into functional modules to enhance clarity and maintenance. Utilizes CMake for efficient build process management. Emphasizes network security through comprehensive analysis tools and utilities. Suggests cross-platform compatibility to integrate various hardware configurations for real-time data processing. Includes tools for latency measurement, profiling, and memory management, optimizing performance.
