IPTables Firewall Configuration May 2017

Configure packet filtering IPTables firewall in Linux. Allowed/Denied from different IP addresses and ports as per project requirements.

SSL/TLS Man In The Middle Attack A pril 2017

Compromised information sent between the user and the supposedly secure webpage, by acting as a man-in-the-middle. Successfully showed secure connection (https) on the user side when actually the target was vulnerable.

Switch Configuration April 2017

Layer 2 & Layer 3 configuration & Layer 2 & layer 3 Security. To configure the default gateway for the switch, use the ip default-gateway command. Enter the IP address of the default gateway. The default gateway is the IP address of the router interface to which the switch connects.

Network Mapping, Vulnerabilities & Host Exploitation Feb 2017 Assessing the target for vulnerabilities using penetration tools like Nmap and Nessus using Kali Linux, the first step of social engineering. Successfully gained shell access of the target virtual PC using Meterpreter and Backtrack. Was able to copy files from the target, take a screenshot etc. IP Lookup Algorithm Jan 2017

Designed two different IP lookup algorithm in C++. (1) Disjoint-prefix Binary Trie, (2) Binary search on prefix. Enhanced IP lookup performance by efficient usage of these algorithms. Protocol Mediation Dec 2016

Protocol Mediation, that is, accept HTTP requests on one side and perform the actions of a nother protocol (FTP) on the other side.

Build an Internet Multimedia station November 2016 Design and implement a system that will transmit that content (as a Stream of UDP packets) over the network to a listener.

Web Proxy Oct 2016

Writing a web proxy to learn about how to structure servers. It accepts a new connection from a browser, completely handle the request and response for that browser, and then start work on the next connection. EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

National Robotics Race and Robotics War Winner in Citronics Technical Fest 2014.
