Arber Ormëni — RIPOSTE
@arberormeni2026

I'm Arber — 17 years running infrastructure that can't afford to be down (ISP backbones, national broadcasters, government systems), based in Tirana, Albania.

I'm building RIPOSTE: a self-hosted pipeline that turns every attack your firewall blocks (fail2ban, QNAP QuFirewall) into an automated, evidence-backed abuse report delivered to the network actually responsible for the attacking machine. Attribution resolves via Abusix abuse-contact DNS with RDAP fallback, cached per CIDR; each network gets one aggregated X-ARF report per day with full timestamped log evidence; and every report's lifecycle is tracked (sent, bounced, acked, human reply, action confirmed), feeding a public per-provider accountability dashboard. No hack-back — it never sends a packet toward an attacker.

Month one on my own infrastructure: 2,847 blocked attacks collapsed into 214 responsible networks, 31 reports dispatched, 11 acknowledgements, 6 human replies, 4 confirmed takedowns.

Your support funds the road to the open-source release (planned once the report formats and adapter interface stabilize) and the public accountability dashboard.
