The LibSecNotify project is a security and notification tool developed for Linux-based systems (including Fedora and FreeBSD), providing a user-friendly desktop application for monitoring security-related events. It runs in the system tray and uses GTK3 or higher for the GUI (Graphical User Interface). The tool is designed to log security-critical events and display real-time notifications, responding to events such as user logins, password changes, and authentication attempts. LibSecNotify works closely with the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) system to monitor authentication events and uses system-wide notification mechanisms to ensure that the user is informed in real-time about security-related activities. Features and Characteristics:
System Architecture:
Complexity and Clean Code: The project follows the principles of Clean Code, with modular, well-commented, and readable code. Functions and classes are clearly named, and the code is divided into well-structured, maintainable modules. By using libraries like GTK3 and standard tools (e.g., pkg-config for dependency management), the project ensures compatibility with common Linux and FreeBSD platforms with minimal adjustments. The tool is designed to provide a secure, efficient, and user-friendly solution for monitoring security-critical events while ensuring high flexibility and customizability. |
