MIRE/C³: Multi-layer Intrusion Response Engine
Your sites are being probed and prodded. MIRE/C³ is the treacle they don’t see until they’re stuck in it.
MIRE: A Black Hole for Cyberspace
Hackers are everywhere, all the time and all at once.
Bring up a website and it will be scanned within minutes — not by a person, by automation hunting for the files you never meant to leave lying around.
Hackers don’t just knock on your front door; they rattle every window, lift every floorboard, and feel around in the dark for anything you forgot to lock. MIRE turns that chaos into a trap-filled funhouse where every “promising” lead is actually a dead end dripping with treacle.
“All your files are belong to us”
— what the attacker thinks they’re reporting back
C³: Causing Cost and Confusion
- Sticky. MIRE is the treacle that ties hackers up.
- Costly. MIRE serves molasses to the attackers and costs them time and money.
- Confusing. MIRE shares worthless files and secrets they won’t know are worthless until they’ve burned hours on them.
The C³ idea—causing cost and confusion—means every step the attacker takes should feel like progress but actually burns their time and attention.
They find “credentials,” “backups,” “secret configs,” and “admin” paths that look authentic, only to slowly realize none of them lead to anything of value.
The Treacle Effect
A scan that finds nothing moves on in seconds. A scan that finds MIRE never quite does — every probe gets an answer, so there is always one more thread to pull, and the attacker’s own automation keeps them wading in it.
Nothing they touch is real, and nothing real is ever touched.
Turning Noise into Signal
All the junk traffic that used to be background noise becomes a source of intelligence.
Every fake file opened, every bogus endpoint hit, every decoy “secret” accessed tells you something about the attacker’s tools, methods, and persistence.
Tipping the Balance of Power
MIRE flips the usual power balance: the attacker is no longer the hunter gliding silently through your network, but the mark wandering through a staged illusion.
They “feel successful” enough to keep going and end up investing far more than your defences did.
