    • Input: Events array, source identifier
    • Output: Matched YARA rules with severity
    • Use: dynamic_analysis_sandbox.py YARA integration

  2. GET /api/admin/stats

    • Output: System metrics (CPU, Memory, DB size)
    • Use: psutil library for real metrics
    • Update interval: On demand

  3. POST /api/threat-feeds/sync

    • Input: Enabled feed IDs
    • Output: Count of synced feeds and new indicators
    • Use: External API calls (OTX, Abuse.ch, etc.)

  4. GET /api/threat-indicators

    • Query: severity filter, limit
    • Output: Threat indicator list with confidence
    • Store: SQLite persistence

Priority 2: Detection Rules Persistence

  1. POST /api/detection-rules - Create rule
  2. GET /api/detection-rules - List all rules
  3. PATCH /api/detection-rules/{id} - Enable/disable
  4. DELETE /api/detection-rules/{id} - Remove rule

Priority 3: Advanced Features

Next Session - Backend Development

With all frontend components ready, the next phase should focus on:

  1. Database Migration: Add new SQLite tables (detection_rules, threat_indicators, threat_feeds)
  2. Flask Endpoints: Implement the 8 endpoints using provided guide
  3. Real Feed Integration: Connect to actual threat intelligence APIs
  4. Rule Execution: Build rule matching engine to actually trigger alerts
  5. Testing: Unit tests for endpoints, integration tests for full flow

All code provided includes fallback mechanisms, so the frontend will continue working even if some backend endpoints are not yet implemented.
