PROJECTS

Cooperative Computational TCP (Research project under Dr. Hulya Seferoglu)

●Designed a TCP model which helped increase computational efficiency by use of a distributed architecture

●Developed the code on Android Studio Software

●Simulated the model on Android devices using Wi-Fi Direct

●Improved computation time by 35% - 40% through increased frequency of packet transmission

Implemented New Transport Layer Protocol

●Enhanced the TCP Reno Protocol, thereby increasing its throughput and the speed of data transfer

●Optimized the window size so that more packets were transferred while still minimizing the possibility of packet drop

Linux Firewall Design and Evasion

●Implemented simplified packet filtering firewall and a Squid application firewall on an Ubuntu virtual machine

●Configured VPN to circumvent the firewalls and access blocked content

Network Intrusion Detection System Design

●Designed and implemented a signature-based network IDS using the java pcap library

●The IDS analyzed network traffic and filtered virus TCP packets/streams based on the rule database

Defense against TCP/IP attacks

●Acquired practical experience related to TCP/IP vulnerabilities and attack strategies for exploiting them

●Secured an Ubuntu virtual machine against TCP SYN flood, TCP reset and TCP session hijacking attacks
