Academic Projects:
Graduate Class Project: IPv6 conformance and performance testing
Study various migration techniques of IPv6 protocol and simulate and
test network for delay, throughput, variable length packet and fixed
length packet. OPNET was used to
. Developed a virtual network of Cisco 7200 series routers, Ethernet
links, and work stations using OPNET
. Configured component attributes like supported protocols (IGP, RIP,
IPv6/IPv4), IP address allocation, IPv6 transition mechanism
(configured tunneling, dual stack, automatic tunneling)
. Test simulated network connectivity with ICMPv6/v4 pings
. Generate packets (variable/fixed size, TCP/VoIP) and test network
for performance
. Test latency of network for various transition mechanisms
Graduate Class Project: Network Security and Analysis
A situation was simulated virtually using SecondLife where a team of 5
hackers have attacked a network for identity theft purpose. I was part
of a two member team of forensic analysts tasked with investigating
who hackers are and at same time tackle future attacks being planned
by hackers for subsequent identity thefts and to prevent our
investigation. I was responsible for following:
. Generate security certificates for authorized person using OpenSSL
on Ubuntu OS
. Transfer certificates through SSH
. Investigate encrypted video, audio, and chat messages, and
stereographic images
. Decrypt captured messages using OpenSSL RSA algorithm
. TCP, HTTP, SIP, UDP, and RIP Packet capture from network being
hacked using Wireshark
. Monitor network for DoS (Denial-of-Service) attack
. Identify and revoke unauthorized use of security certificates
Graduate Class Research Project: Email as a service cloud
Design of secure email as a cloud service for various applications
. Study of the system vulnerabilities and requirements.
. Determine the system protocols and security measures to undertake.
. Securing Network infrastructure by setting the firewall and IDS
rule sets.
. Secure mail server and contents by securing access, malware
scanning, content filtering.
. Incorporate various application like mobile, social networks and
location aware in to cloud
Class Research project: Link design of VSAT systems
Link designed for VSAT systems for different scenarios - financial
network, Rural communication, and internet via VSAT.
. Determine user requirements like site or location of the
application carrier and return link data rates,
. Designed link considering satellite location, access (DA-TDMA/SCPC
DAMA), frequency bands (Ku-band/C-band), link availability
calculation and trade-off between signal quality and availability
Class Research Project: Deployment and testing of a health data
collection system
. Researched and developed requirements for web-based software
instrumentation for collecting health questionnaire, physical
examination, and lab data for a large health study using at home
air-cards.
. Created test plan for asynchronous collaboration and path and
branch coverage
. Designed usability test for testing capacity of system
Class system development Project: Design of memory leakage software
test tool
. Defined requirements and designed a system to detect memory
leakage and free memory
. Developed and coded algorithm using C++ to find unnecessary memory
allocation and locate associated code segment
Undergraduate Senior Project - Embedded System Based Ethernet
Controller
Designed an Ethernet controller to establish communication between
machines thereby connecting them in network such that all machines can
be controlled and maintained remotely by single person.
. Study requirements, select components, design of artwork,
soldering components and testing PCB.
. Design and code chip (8051 simulation language and Visual basic)
and do unit testing of code
. Implementation of module on Network using Visual Basic 6.0 as a
front end tool and 89c52 processor
