# Rampart
6-layer DDoS protection for Minecraft servers.

## English
### Overview
Rampart filters traffic at kernel level (XDP/eBPF), network level (PoW challenge), and application level (Rust + Java) before it reaches game servers.
### 6-Layer Architecture
```
Layer 1: XDP/eBPF (C) TCP state machine, SYN throttle, blacklist, UDP drop
Layer 2: PoW Challenge (Rust) SHA256 hashcash, dynamic difficulty, anti-handshake-flood
Layer 3: Rust Core MC handshake parse, HMAC sign, rate limit, death code
Layer 4: Velocity (Java) Domain whitelist, HMAC verify, physics check, CAPTCHA
Layer 5: Paper Agent (Java) Redis heartbeat, auto-registration
Layer 6: Traffic Intel EWMA thresholds, 168h profiling, reputation
```
```
Атакующий → [XDP/eBPF] → [PoW] → [Rust Core] → [Velocity] → Game Server

```
### Components
| Component | Role | Stack |
|-----------|------|-------|
| **rampart-core** | Edge node - layers 2+3 | Rust (tokio, socket2, prometheus) |
| **rampart-manager** | Management API + Redis sync | Rust (axum, jsonwebtoken, redis) |
| **rampart-cli** | CLI tool for operators | Rust (clap) |
| **velocity-plugin** | Layer 4 - domain, HMAC, physics, router | Java 21 (Velocity API) |
| **paper-plugin** | Layer 5 - Redis heartbeat, auto-reg | Java 21 (Paper API) |
| **dashboard** | Web UI - servers, blacklist, nodes | React + Vite + TypeScript |
### Performance
Tested on Hetzner CX31 (4 vCPU, 8GB, KVM), Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 5.15
| Mode | New conn/s | Active conn | CPU |
|------|-----------|-------------|-----|
| 4 core, epoll | 80k | 200k | ~65% |
| 4 core, io_uring | 110k | 260k | ~48% |
| XDP drop (generic) | 3-5M pps | - | ~25% |
| XDP drop (native) | 15-20M pps | - | ~15% |
Note: Real L7 throughput (handshake + HMAC + rate limit): ~60-70k conn/s (epoll), ~85-95k (io_uring).
### Quick Start
```bash
# Build Rust components
cargo build --release
# Create config
mkdir -p /etc/rampart
rampart config init > /etc/rampart/config.toml
# Run edge node
./target/release/rampart-core --config /etc/rampart/config.toml
# Java plugins
cd plugins && ./gradlew build
```

### Обзор
Rampart — 6-слойная система DDoS-защиты для Minecraft. Фильтрует трафик на уровне ядра (XDP/eBPF), уровне сети (PoW), уровне приложений (Rust) и уровне прокси (Velocity).
### 6 слоёв защиты
```
Слой 1: XDP/eBPF (C) TCP state machine, SYN throttle, blacklist, UDP drop
Слой 2: PoW Challenge (Rust) SHA256 hashcash, dynamic difficulty
Слой 3: Rust Core MC handshake, HMAC sign, rate limit, death code
Слой 4: Velocity (Java) Domain whitelist, HMAC verify, physics, CAPTCHA
Слой 5: Paper Agent (Java) Redis heartbeat, auto-registration
Слой 6: Traffic Intel EWMA thresholds, 168h profiling, reputation
```
```
