ACADEMIC PROJECTS

1. Multi-Threaded Server Implementation

[C++, Socket Programming, Platform: Solaris]

SEPT '09

o Implemented a server to handle multiple clients using threads, for

providing time and echo services. Platform: Solaris.

2. File Transfer Protocol over UPD with Reliability

[C, Understanding of TCP and UDP, Platform: Linux] OCT '09

o Implemented a protocol to exchange large files between client and

server using UDP datagram.

o Introduced TCP-like reliability over UDP: Implemented Three way

handshake, ARQ sliding window, flow control and congestion control

which includes slow start, fast recovery, fast retransmit

mechanisms for secure data transmission.

3. Network Tour with ARP

[C, Platform: Linux] NOV '09

o Implemented a tour (walk around) of the nodes in the network,

similar to SSRR (Strict Source and Record Route) option.

o Implemented the PING functionality using ICMP echo messages and

ARP to find out the MAC address of the node to be pinged.

4. Linux Stackable File System:

NOV '08

o Built a stackable file system using stacking technologies that

implements a transparent file integrity checking.

o It verifies and updates checksums (MD5, SHA1, SHA 256) on

reads/writes. Extensive usage of Linux kernel 2.6.26.6 APIs.

5. Security Audit:

[C++,Java, MySQL]

APR'09

o Audited open source software against OWASP top ten 2007 threats

and vulnerabilities. Detected security flaws like buffer overflow,

format string bugs, SQL injection errors and wrote patches to get

a clean and secure code.

o Demonstrated exploited on Cross Site Scripting and Buffer

Overflows

6. Clean Wrap File system:

[C]

[C]

OCT '08

o Added a module to Linux kernel 2.6.3.26 which implemented a system

call to insert/delete data at a given position in a file.

o Involved taking care of appropriate error handling; Understanding

Linux source code, kernel module programming.

8. Ethernet LAN, RED and ECN Performance Evaluation:

[C++, NS2 simulation]

SEPT '08

o Simulated 802.3 Ethernet LAN to evaluate its performance and

short-term unfairness problem using ns2 simulator
