OmniShield
The antivirus that can't be exploited — because it inherits nothing.
The Problem
Current endpoint security agents (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) weigh 300-500MB, consume hundreds of MB of RAM, and inherit hundreds of CVEs from their dependency chains. In July 2024, a CrowdStrike update crashed 8.5 million machines worldwide — airlines, banks, hospitals — causing $5.4B in damages. The tools meant to protect infrastructure have become the biggest risk.
The Solution
OmniShield is a 35KB security agent compiled from a proprietary bare-metal language. It monitors processes, network connections, filesystem changes, and authentication logs in real-time using direct Linux syscalls — no libc, no runtime, no dependencies. It detects crypto miners, reverse shells, unauthorized listeners, brute force attacks, and filesystem tampering. The attacker doesn't know it exists because it has no recognizable signatures.
Why Bare-Metal Matters
A 35KB binary with zero dependencies has a mathematically smaller attack surface than a 500MB agent with hundreds of libraries. There are no shared libraries to hook, no runtime to exploit, no supply chain to compromise. OmniShield operates at the same level as the attacker — raw syscalls — but watches everything they do.

Use Cases
Cloud Server Protection
Deploy a 35KB agent on every VPS, droplet, or EC2 instance. Monitors processes, open ports, and file integrity in real-time. Uses less than 1MB of RAM — invisible to your workloads.
Crypto Mining Detection
Automatically detects known mining processes (xmrig, minerd, cpuminer) and suspicious CPU patterns. Alerts immediately when a compromised server starts mining.
Intrusion Detection
Monitors /etc, /usr/bin, /etc/ssh via inotify for unauthorized modifications. Detects new listening ports, reverse shells, and brute force SSH attempts in real-time.
Hosting Provider Security
White-label solution for hosting providers. One agent per customer server, negligible resource overhead, centralized threat reporting via HTTP API.
