GuOx is an elite-grade, modular security framework for Express.js designed for zero-trust environments, real-time threat mitigation, and scalable hardening strategies — all with a single import or fine-tuned configuration. Welcome to secure-by-design web architecture.
- Quantum-Grade Middleware Security Stack
- Zero Config to Infinite Config: Activate with one import or configure down to each layer
- Self-Healing Core: GuOx detects and defuses insecure behaviors dynamically
- Threat-Aware Performance Engine: Optimized code paths for real-time production load
- Security Intelligence Console: Live audit visualizer + incident detector
- Auto-Adaptive Input Firewall: Pattern-aware sanitization engine
- Code-Tight Trust Boundary Control: Local/Remote IP rule enforcement
- API Mutation Watchdog: Detects behavioral anomalies at endpoint level
- Developer Guidance System: Learns, teaches, warns — powered by in-process DSL
