The punisher: A collaborative framework for global web security

The internet faces relentless threats—DDoS attacks, XSS, and SQL injections—yet current defenses remain reactive, localized, and easily bypassed by attackers using VPNs or proxies. The Punisher introduces a proactive, multi-level framework to detect, expose, and neutralize malicious actors globally. Deployable as a WordPress plugin, an API for web frameworks, or a hosting-level filter, it leverages advanced IP detection and a decentralized threat-sharing system to blacklist attackers across DNS providers, ISPs, and tech ecosystems. This paper presents its architecture, evaluates its feasibility, and calls for collaboration to revolutionize web security.
