The idea is very good, but I think very hard to realise. Hackers always find a way in. But lets be positive and see how the project evolves.
Yea. Hackers can be very determined when they want to. But a team who decide to take the up a battle against hackers aught to know what they are signing up against and prepare an impenetrable plan
It's a competitive world and no one will give up easily. It's a continuous war between hackers and security devices. Both need to find new way of attack and defence.
Yes. No one can use same device or software for years. You have to keep updating it, need to release new patches definition and all.
Most of the vulnerabilities are reported online or leaked - so you can check out vulnerabilities from years ago. Always important to keep up-to-date firmware or software, BitFence will work in a similar fashion and hopefully have the latest on most recent attacks due to the honeypot and miner setup
I just have one doubt. I have seen the device picture only and after seeing the same I think it's very small device. So will be able to handle all updates, firmware update in future? I am talking from storage and processor point of view. Few years back 500mb ram was fine for my smartphone, but now I need minimum 3gb ram.
Do you know what a Rasperry Pi is or how it works? it's ran off an SD card.. So you could simply take it out, and put it into a new model.. It doesn't need gaming PC specs to run, it's a simple small piece of software that sits on your network, it probably won't even have a GUI like windows, so will be very lightweight.

Ah ha. thanks for explanation Darkoth89. Sometimes is hard to imagine such small device protecting our network. i have seen IPS, IDS, firewalls and all
The don't all have to be massive blades
Think of the size of a firewall in a cashpoint (Yes they have them!) it's probably smaller than a raspberry pi device is
I never knew it was that small, this will really be an advantage in terms of accessibility, so one can easily carry the bitfence security, much appreciation for the explanation, is amazing what such little device can do in the overall protection of our intended devices, i just can't wait to have a piece of such security and limit the incessant attacks by hackers
