HPFeeds
A lightweight authenticated publish-subscribe protocol for binary data feeds, commonly used in security monitoring.
What is HPFeeds?
hpfeeds is an authenticated publish-subscribe protocol designed for lightweight, secure data distribution. It allows systems to publish and subscribe to channels carrying arbitrary binary payloads, commonly used to stream JSON-formatted security events and monitoring data. The project provides both a broker and client libraries, focusing on simplicity and cross-language compatibility.
Security researchers, threat intelligence teams, and developers building distributed monitoring systems or honeypots that require real-time, authenticated data feeds.
Developers choose hpfeeds for its minimal protocol overhead, ease of implementation in any language, and built-in authentication, making it a reliable choice for secure data exchange in collaborative security environments without proprietary dependencies.
