Lightweight DDoS detection in 500 lines of Python, no cloud required

jacob_masse released ftagent-lite, a MIT-licensed DDoS detection tool that runs entirely on your own infrastructure with no account or cloud dependency. For indie makers running self-hosted apps or small SaaS products, it offers a practical, auditable alternative to expensive third-party DDoS mitigation services. Keeping the codebase to 500 lines of Python lowers the barrier to understanding, forking, and adapting it to specific needs.
