ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Simulation of MPLS Label Distribution Protocol Using GNS3, SJSU

• Successfully downloaded, installed and configured the GNS3 and created new MPLS backbone using ‘n’routers.

• Developed basic understanding of CISCO IOS using the command line interface and about the popular network simulation tool, GNS3.

• Successfully configured each router to activate MPLS Protocol, use of MPLS MD5 authentication & established LDP connection between fast Ethernet interfaces.

• Successfully simulated MPLS for a given topology on GNS3 and studied and analyzed the working of LDP and label assignment. Implementation of VoIP using SIP Connections over Ad-Hoc Network for Various Call Scenarios, SJSU

• Application of Voice over IP using SIP over AD-Hoc network was successfully implemented.

• Asterisk, X-lite Software and other dependencies were Successfully installed and proper connections were made with the SIP Proxy Server.

• Asterisk server’s extensions & config files were properly configured for different call models and necessary adapter settings were made.

• For the client side, X-LITE softphones were successfully configured to establish calls between the client’s vis SIP proxy server.

• Results captured & analyzed using Wireshark. Call flow for different scenarios & logical flow chart was studied to analyze the call flow.

• Successfully Developed Client side application using with basic SIP functionality such as registration & un-registration. And Call initialization was also performed using the python code. WebRTC Application, SJSU

• Developed an application using WebRTC and implemented audio & video communication through app developed using WebRTC.

• The real-time audio & video communication was successfully developed and the efficient use of the JavaScript was demonstrated successfully. DDoS Attack Study and Analysis, SJSU

• Created a simulation of DDoS attack in sandboxed environment using virtual machines.

• Apache webserver was setup & webpage consisting of team information was deployed and attack was carried out Using Kali Linux

• Effectively demonstrated prevention of web page access and tools like dpkt and Wireshark were used to parse and capture packets.

• Python script was successfully written for detecting DDoS attack in progress & its libraries was incorporated effectively for geo-locating the attack

Research and Analysis of SSH, SJSU

• Demonstrated use of SSH protocol over client server model, and packet analysis using Wireshark.

• Conceptualized SSH protocol session establishments, vulnerabilities, strengths, weakness, and feasible attacks against SSH.

• Insights from packet analysis during session establishments, mitigation techniques adopted against attacks & its importance was studied carefully.
