This commit introduces a significant enhancement to our Ruby program by implementing a thread-safe alert system using a ring buffer data structure. New Classes: 1. Alert: This class is responsible for creating and displaying alerts in the Curses Text User Interface (TUI). It takes a message and severity level as arguments and uses these to display color-coded alerts to the user. 2. AlertQueueManager: This class manages the queues for alerts using a ring buffer data structure. It continuously checks the queue and displays alerts as they arrive. It uses a mutex lock to ensure thread safety when accessing the ring buffer. 3. RingBuffer: This class is a custom implementation of a ring buffer, also known as a circular buffer. It's a fixed-size buffer that effectively overwrites old data when it is full. The buffer size has been optimized to 2MB to balance memory usage and performance. Modifications to Existing Methods: The DatabaseManager class has been updated to integrate the new alert system. The methods in this class now create Alert instances and enqueue them in the AlertQueueManager instead of directly displaying alerts to the user. This change ensures that alerts are displayed in a thread-safe manner and allows for better control over the timing and order of alert displays. Thread Safety Measures: Mutex locks and condition variables have been used to synchronize access to the ring buffer and prevent race conditions. This ensures that only one thread can access the buffer at a time, preventing data corruption and ensuring the correct operation of the alert system. Testing: Rigorous testing has been conducted to validate the correct functioning of the new system and to handle edge cases. This includes tests for the correct display of alerts, the correct operation of the ring buffer, and the correct synchronization of threads. Documentation: Detailed comments have been added to the code to explain the purpose and operation of the new classes and methods. This documentation will serve as a valuable reference for future development and maintenance of the codebase. This commit represents a significant improvement in the functionality and robustness of our Ruby program's alert system. |

Introduction
Welcome to NETRAVE, a cybersecurity solution designed to provide a high level of security, vigilance, and response to threats, ensuring that network environments remain secure and resilient. This README provides a comprehensive overview of the software, its purpose, functions, objectives, and unique methods of handling issues/challenges.
About NETRAVE
NETRAVE is an acronym for Network Environment for Threat Response and Advanced Vulnerability Extermination. It is a modular cybersecurity software that aims to provide a high level of security, vigilance, and response to threats, ensuring that network environments remain secure and resilient.
About the Developer
Connor Crawford, also known as Vetheon, is currently the only developer behind NETRAVE. With over 8 years of experience in the private sector, Connor has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in software development, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. Recognizing the need for more transparency and open-source solutions in cybersecurity, he began producing open-source software, with NETRAVE being one of his first flagship projects and his first ever large project written in Ruby.
Technical Overview
NETRAVE is designed with a modular architecture, which allows for easy customization, upgrades, and maintenance. Each module in NETRAVE is designed to perform a specific function, and they can work independently or in harmony, depending on the needs of the user.
The software is built using Ruby, a high-level, interpreted programming language that emphasizes simplicity and productivity. Ruby's dynamic typing and object-oriented design make it an ideal choice for a modular system like NETRAVE.
Modular Design
The modular design of NETRAVE is one of its key features. Each module is designed to perform a specific function, and they can work independently or in harmony, depending on the needs of the user. This design allows for easy customization, upgrades, and maintenance.
The modular design also allows for easy expansion. New modules can be added to the system as needed, providing additional functionality without disrupting the existing system. This flexibility makes NETRAVE a scalable solution that can adapt to the changing needs of a network environment.
Contributing
NETRAVE is an open-source project, and contributions are welcome. If you're interested in contributing, please fork the repository and make your changes. Once you're done, submit a pull request. All contributions, no matter how small, are greatly appreciated.
