Two capabilities in a single plugin: real-time ransomware detection (4 heuristics + 9 automated response actions) and incremental backup speedup — 3× faster on Linux, 1.7× on Windows — by eliminating the full FileSet tree walk on every job.
What it does
- 3× faster incrementals — Daemon maintains real-time index of modified files (inotify on Linux / ReadDirW on Windows).
- Ransomware detection — 4 heuristics: Shannon entropy, burst rename, suspicious extensions, altered ratio.
- 9 response actions — Log, webhook, syslog, shell, SMB kill, ACL deny/readonly remount, FS snapshot (VSS/btrfs/zfs), emergency backup, kill process.
- Linux + Windows — Same code (cfg/ifdef): RHEL 8/9, OL, Rocky, Alma, Debian 11/12, Ubuntu 20-24, Windows Server 2019-2025 and 10/11.
