Title: LogSentry — Automated Python Log Analyzer & Threat Detector
Project Description:
~Built a production-grade, dependency-free Python security utility designed to ingest server authentication logs, parse patterns using regular expressions (re), track failed access attempts via hash-mapped collections, and flag brute-force risks instantly through a clean command-line interface (argparse). This tool helps system administrators automate infrastructure audits without bloated software overhead.
