*THIS REPOSITORY IS UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE.*

---

**Linky** is an open-source Laravel package that started as a free alternative to Linktree, but quickly evolved into a powerful web enthusiast's Swiss Army knife. With Linky, you can intercept traffic to a Laravel application, analyze it, act as a honeypot, and create custom workflows and action pipelines based on incoming HTTP requests.

Linky's traffic interception and analysis capabilities make it an invaluable tool for developers, security researchers, and web enthusiasts who want to gain insights into their application's behavior and protect it from malicious actors. Its honeypot functionality allows you to attract and trap attackers, while its workflow and pipeline features enable you to automate complex tasks and responses based on incoming requests. Additionally, Linky can also be used in offensive cyber security activities to simulate attacks and test the security of web applications.

Whether you're a seasoned Laravel developer, a security researcher, or a cyber security professional looking to enhance your offensive capabilities, Linky is the perfect solution for you. Best of all, it's free and open-source, so you can contribute to its development and customize it to suit your needs.
