+# NETIntel
+
+A SIEM-inspired security monitoring platform designed to monitor system and network activity across devices within a local network.
+
+NETIntel provides centralized visibility into connected devices, network connections, running processes, and collected telemetry data through an interactive web dashboard.
+
+## Features
+
+- System and network monitoring
+- Process and connection tracking
+- Environment-based agent enrollment
+- Google OAuth authentication
+- Multi-tenant support
+- Network discovery and device monitoring
+- Interactive dashboard for data visualization
+
+## Architecture
+
+NETIntel consists of three main components:
+
+### Backend
+
+The backend handles authentication, telemetry ingestion, data processing, and API communication.
+
+**Technologies**
+- Python
+- Flask
+- SQLite
+- JWT Authentication
+
+### Frontend
+
+The frontend provides an intuitive dashboard for monitoring devices and visualizing collected data.
+
+**Technologies**
+- React
+- Vite
+- JavaScript
+
+### Agent
+
+The agent runs on monitored devices and periodically collects telemetry information such as system details, running processes, and network activity.
+
+Collected data is securely transmitted to the backend using environment tokens.
+
+**Technologies**
+- Python
+- Psutil
+- Requests
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- Python
+- Flask
+- React
+- SQLite
+- JWT
+- Google OAuth
+- Git
+- HTML
+- CSS
+- JavaScript
+
+## 🚀 Installation
+
+### Backend
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python server.py
+```
+
+### Frontend
+
+```bash
+cd lan-frontend
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+### Agent
+
+```bash
+python sctry.py
+```
+
+The agent requires:
+- Server IP
+- Environment Token
+
+## Configuration
+
+Create a `.env` file:
+
+```env
+DB_FILE=lan_logs_sysmon.db
+LOG_DIR=received_data_sysmon
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
+JWT_SECRET=your-secret
+COOKIE_SECURE=0
+```
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+- Real-time alerting
+- Agent auto-update
+- Advanced threat detection
+- Token management dashboard
+- Automated deployment
