H0 Hackathon · Flash-Sale Defense

Bots check out in milliseconds.
Real buyers don't.

HypeShield scores every purchase attempt in real time — request velocity, browser headers, identifier pressure — and blocks scalper bots before they touch your inventory, without throttling shoppers on shared office or campus IPs.

SIMULATED PREVIEW

Run a real attack on the dashboard to see this engine score actual requests.

How a request gets judged

Velocity

Five requests per second per identifier. Past that, the window closes.

Headers

Headless browsers and missing accept-language get flagged before they reach inventory.

Identifier pressure

A shared IP isn't penalized on its own — only when it's paired with bot-speed timing.
