 Krawl provides a comprehensive dashboard, accessible at a **random secret path** generated at startup or at a **custom path** configured via `KRAWL_DASHBOARD_SECRET_PATH`. This keeps the dashboard hidden from attackers scanning your honeypot.
 
-The dashboard is organized in three main tabs:

+Additionally, after authenticating with the dashboard password, two protected tabs become available:
+
+- **Tracked IPs**: maintain a watchlist of IP addresses you want to monitor over time.
+- **IP Banlist**: manage IP bans, view detected attackers, and export the banlist in raw or IPTables format.

-The dashboard shows:
+The Krawl dashboard is a single-page application with **5 tabs**: Overview, Attacks, IP Insight, Tracked IPs, and IP Banlist. The last two tabs are only visible after authenticating with the dashboard password.
-- Total and unique accesses
-- Suspicious activity and attack detection
-- Top IPs, paths, user-agents and GeoIP localization
-- Real-time monitoring
 
-The attackers' access to the honeypot endpoint and related suspicious activities (such as failed login attempts) are logged.
+---
 
-Krawl also implements a scoring system designed to distinguish between malicious and legitimate behavior on the website.
+## Overview
 
-![dashboard-1](../img/dashboard-1.png)
+The default landing page provides a high-level summary of all traffic and suspicious activity detected by Krawl.
 
-The top IP Addresses is shown along with top paths and User Agents
+### Stats Cards
 
-![dashboard-2](../img/dashboard-2.png)
+Seven metric cards are displayed at the top:
 
-![dashboard-3](../img/dashboard-3.png)
+- **Total Accesses** — total number of requests received
+- **Unique IPs** — distinct IP addresses observed
+- **Unique Paths** — distinct request paths
+- **Suspicious Accesses** — requests flagged as suspicious
+- **Honeypot Caught** — requests that hit honeypot endpoints
+- **Credentials Captured** — login attempts captured by the honeypot
+- **Unique Attackers** — distinct IPs classified as attackers
+
+### Search
+
+A real-time search bar lets you search across attacks, IPs, patterns, and locations. Results are loaded dynamically as you type.
+
+### IP Origins Map
+
+An interactive world map (powered by Leaflet) displays the geolocation of top IP addresses. You can filter by category:
+
+- Attackers
+- Bad Crawlers
+- Good Crawlers
+- Regular Users
+- Unknown
+
+The number of displayed IPs is configurable (top 10, 100, 1,000, or all).
+
+![Overview — Stats and Map](../img/geoip_dashboard.png)
+
+### Recent Suspicious Activity
+
+A table showing the last 10 suspicious requests with IP address, path, user-agent, and timestamp. Each entry provides actions to view the raw HTTP request or inspect the IP in detail.
+
+### Top IP Addresses
+
+A paginated, sortable table ranking IPs by access count. Each IP shows its category badge and can be clicked to expand inline details or open the IP Insight tab.
+
+### Top Paths
+
+A paginated table of the most accessed HTTP paths and their request counts.
+
+### Top User-Agents
+
+A paginated table of the most common user-agent strings with their frequency.
+
+![Overview — Tables](../img/overview_tables_dashboard.png)
+
+---
+
+## Attacks
+
+The Attacks tab focuses on detected malicious activity, attack patterns, and captured credentials.
+
+### Attackers by Total Requests
+
+A paginated table listing all detected attackers ranked by total requests. Columns include IP, total requests, first seen, last seen, and location. Sortable by multiple fields.
+
+![Attacks — Attackers and Credentials](../img/top_attackers_dashboard.png)
+
+### Captured Credentials
+
+A table of usernames and passwords captured from honeypot login forms, with timestamps. Useful for analyzing common credential stuffing patterns.
+
+### Honeypot Triggers by IP
+
+Shows which IPs accessed honeypot endpoints and how many times, sorted by trigger count.
+
+### Detected Attack Types
+
+A detailed table of individual attack detections showing IP, path, attack type classifications, user-agent, and timestamp. Each entry can be expanded to view the raw HTTP request.
+
+### Most Recurring Attack Types
+
+A Chart.js visualization showing the frequency distribution of detected attack categories (e.g., SQL injection, path traversal, XSS).
+
+### Most Recurring Attack Patterns
+
+A paginated table of specific attack patterns and their occurrence counts across all traffic.
+
+![Attacks — Attack Types and Patterns](../img/attack_types_dashboard.png)
+
+---
+
+## IP Insight
+
+The IP Insight tab provides a deep-dive view for a single IP address. It is activated by clicking "Inspect IP" from any table in the dashboard.
+
+### IP Information Card
+
+Displays comprehensive details about the selected IP:
+
+- **Activity** — total requests, first seen, last seen, last analysis timestamp
+- **Geo & Network** — location, region, timezone, ISP, ASN, reverse DNS
+- **Category** — classification badge (Attacker, Good Crawler, Bad Crawler, Regular User, Unknown)
+
+### Ban & Track Actions
+
+When authenticated, admin actions are available:
+
+- **Ban/Unban** — immediately add or remove the IP from the banlist
+- **Track/Untrack** — add the IP to your watchlist for ongoing monitoring
+
+### Blocklist Memberships
+
+Shows which threat intelligence blocklists the IP appears on, providing external reputation context.
+
+### Access Logs
+
+A filtered view of all requests made by this specific IP, with full request details.
+
+![IP Insight — Detail View](../img/ip_insight_dashboard.png)
+
+---
+
+## Tracked IPs
+
+> Requires authentication with the dashboard password.
+
+The Tracked IPs tab lets you maintain a watchlist of IP addresses you want to monitor over time.
+
+### Track New IP
+
+A form to add any IP address to your tracking list for ongoing observation.
+
+### Currently Tracked IPs
+
+A paginated table of all manually tracked IPs, with the option to untrack each one.
+
+![Tracked IPs](../img/tracked_ips_dashboard.png)
+
+---
+
+## IP Banlist
+
+> Requires authentication with the dashboard password.
+
+The IP Banlist tab provides tools for managing IP bans. Bans are exported every 5 minutes.
+
+### Force Ban IP
+
+A form to immediately ban any IP address by entering it manually.
+
+### Detected Attackers
+
+A paginated list of all IPs detected as attackers, with quick-ban actions for each entry.
+
+![IP Banlist — Detected](../img/banlist_attackers_dashboard.png)
+
+### Active Ban Overrides
+
+A table of currently active manual ban overrides, with options to unban or reset the override status for each IP.
+
+![IP Banlist — Overrides](../img/banlist_overrides_dashboard.png)
+
+### Export Banlist
+
+A dropdown menu to download the current banlist in two formats:
+
+- **Raw IPs List** — plain text, one IP per line
+- **IPTables Rules** — ready-to-use firewall rules
+
+---
+
+## Authentication
+
+The dashboard uses session-based authentication with secure HTTP-only cookies. Protected features (Tracked IPs, IP Banlist, ban/track actions) require entering the dashboard password. The login includes brute-force protection with IP-based rate limiting and exponential backoff.
+
+Click the lock icon in the top-right corner of the navigation bar to authenticate or log out.
