Northeastern University, Boston, MA

• Penetration testing using Kali Linux Nov 2017

o Identified software, protocol and OS vulnerabilities using Reconnaissance Tools (FOCA, Sam Spade, Whois). o Exploited vulnerabilities of shell shock, cross-site scripting, word press, Drupal using Metasploit framework and performed attacks of Brute force (John the ripper), ARP poisoning and Denial of Service using Ettercap.

• Network Security in an Enterprise Network Sep 2017 o Implemented the multilayer security using IDS (Snort/Suricata rules), firewall and access lists.

• Design and Implementation of Content Delivery Network (CDN) Apr 2017 o Implemented a DNS server with a combination of Active measurement/Geo-Location to redirect clients to the HTTP replica server. Tested the performance of the system by implementing CDN on 8 replica servers using EC2 instances and clients from different geographical locations.

• Raw Socket Programming Mar 2017

o Designed a python script that takes URL as the user argument, downloads the web page and saves in a directory. o Created Ethernet, IP and TCP headers to encapsulate the GET request used for downloading the web content. o Implemented TCP features of Three-way handshake, checksum validation, teardown, sequence and acknowledgement no handling, retransmission, timeout, congestion window and packet reordering.

• TCP Simulation in NS2 Feb 2017

o Simulated TCP variants of Tahoe, Reno, New Reno and Vegas to test their throughput, latency, drop rate, their fairness to each other and impact of queuing algorithms like Drop Tail and RED on the TCP performance.

• Web Crawler Jan 2017

o Created a python script using HTTP get and post methods designed to search for all the URL’s in the web page and recursively iterates to find the secret flags.

• Wireless Ad-hoc network in Linux. Dec 2016

o Designed a wireless ad-hoc network supporting DHCP, DNS Master-Slave configuration for high availability, Web Server, Mail Server and Backup server supporting IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Automated system backup and incorporated NFS.

• Network Realization of Multinational Organization using Cisco Packet Tracer. Oct 2016 o Developed and tested multinational enterprise network using OSPF, VLANs and HSRP over Frame-relay technology.
