AppSensor is a framework that provides real-time event detection and response. The initial goal is to provide application layer intrusion detection, though many types of systems are possible using the framework.
AppSensor has a website with further documentation and is an OWASP project.
This code is under active development and is currently going through a release candidate process with a planned 2.0 release in January 2015.
The AppSensor source code is released under an MIT license. See the accompanying LICENSE.txt file.
AppSensor is a multi-module maven project. The project requires Java version 7 or higher. Building is generally handled by the following steps
-

cd appsensor -
