Azazel System for Emergency Shelters is a rapid-deploy, portable SOC/NOC built on a single Raspberry Pi, designed to turn fragile, untrusted evacuation-shelter Wi-Fi into a controlled gateway. It places a “Cyber Scapegoat Gateway” in the middle to lure attacks into decoys, delay/shape hostile traffic, and prioritize critical communications for evacuees and responders.
The Azazel-Pi architecture combines Suricata IDS/IPS, OpenCanary decoys, and traffic control via tc/nftables with mode switching (Portal/Shield/Lockdown), plus operations and visibility through azctl, a log pipeline, and Mattermost alerts, with threat scoring evolving from rules/heuristics (Mock LLM) toward local LLM integration (Ollama). In the demo, the system reaches readiness in ~90 seconds at ~13W, and demonstrates a full flow where Suricata detects a brute-force SSH scan, Azazel delays the traffic, diverts it to OpenCanary via iptables, alerts via Mattermost, and restores normal routing once calm; the roadmap further includes Safe Portal (QR-based access), role triage, QoS policy evolution, staged deployments, and defense-only legal/ethical guardrails.
