Building Centurion: Making Windows cybersecurity simple & modern
I’ve been building Centurion solo, a Windows security tool designed to make modern threats like phishing and infostealers easy to understand and block, without relying on heavy antivirus engines.
It’s still early access, and I’d love to use this thread to:
Share the vision behind Centurion
Gather early feedback from developers, sysadmins, and security enthusiasts
Discuss modern approaches to endpoint security
Key features:
Real-time monitoring of network calls and processes
Centralized control panel for logs, alerts, and system health
Proactive phishing & malicious site protection
Process & event tracking for full visibility
Defense against command-and-control and infostealer threats
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
Which features are most valuable for a modern security tool?
How could the interface be easier for non-expert users?
What are we missing compared to other solutions?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

The centralized panel sounds super handy. Any plans for a web-based dashboard for managing multiple devices?
Thanks @abod_rehman ! I’d love to do that, but it’s not in my short-term plans. Right now, my focus is on building the most powerful tool to detect and protect end users, always local first. It should be simple enough for non-tech-savvy people, yet powerful and convenient for nerds (like me).

Sounds super promising. Clarity for non-tech users is such a game-changer these days. Keeping things straightforward is underrated in security tools.
@sanskarix , thanks! This is why I started this project. There are plenty of good security products for big corps, but solutions for home users are outdated and slow.
Really like your focus on simplicity here. The real monitoring sounds especially useful for sysadmins. Maybe adding a lightweight onboarding guide could help non-technical users understand threats faster without diving into logs.
Thanks @indiana_joshi ! As you say, an onboarding is inevitable, but I've learnt from gamedev that if a feature needs a tutorial, it's bad designed. Centurion is far from being perfect, so I'm iterating to make things as straightforward as possible before a steps onboarding.
