Windows security monitor

SENTINEL is my Windows security-monitoring project written in Go. It brings on-demand scans and recurring background checks into one interactive command-line interface.

The repository documents checks around processes, startup entries, file changes, network connections and application integrity. The project is an exploration of local observability and defensive heuristics, not a claim that a single score can certify a machine as safe.

What the project does

Interactive command-line access to scanning and monitoring functions.
Background checks for process, startup, file and network changes.
A grouped system audit that brings multiple local checks together.
Source code showing the implementation and its Windows-specific boundaries.

Environment and requirements

A compatible Windows environment. The repository uses native Windows APIs and system utilities; this is not a browser application or a cross-platform Minecraft mod.

Getting started

Start with the README and inspect the source and commands before running the tool. Use an isolated test environment for experimentation, understand the permissions involved, and review a finding before taking action on a file or process.

Scope, limitations and attribution

Detection is heuristic and may produce false positives or miss threats. This portfolio does not claim independent security certification, guaranteed detection or replacement of a maintained security product. No scans are performed by this website.
