Hey guys! excited to announce the release of [usual\_suspect](https://github.com/DeadKennedyx/UsualSuspect), This gem introduces a suite of tools aimed at monitoring and responding to suspicious user activities, offering a higher level of security vigilance.

**Key Features of UsualSuspect:**

1. **Suspicious Password Change Detection** : Identifies and logs rapid password changes post-login, helping to flag potential unauthorized account access.

2. **Geo-Velocity Tracking** : Analyzes the feasibility of physical movement between consecutive logins based on geographical locations and timestamps, flagging implausible travel scenarios as potential security breaches.

3. **VPN and Proxy Detection** : Utilizes [vpnapi.io](https://vpnapi.io/) services to detect logins from VPNs, tor, relays and proxies, enhancing the ability to identify masked IPs and potential location spoofing.

4. **Session-Specific Event Logging** : Each login session is tracked individually, ensuring a granular and context-aware approach to security event logging.
