PROJECTS
IoTs security: Improved IoTs security through analyzing power trace when an IoT device is under attack and when it is not. Then trained ML with the collected data which allowed it to identify normal and abnormal activity in the device.
Calorie Mama: Preformed a black box test for Calorie Mama app and found several weaknesses that affect the quality and reliability of the app.
Extract the PUF from a NAND flash memory: Preformed a program disturb to find the stable bits in the NAND flash memory. These stable bits are used as physical unclonable functions PUFs which is used a secret key.
Shadow of Sam: Designed a mobile hacking platform that run Kali Linux. it was designed to test the network and to find vulnerabilities. The platform can read connection information through wireless transmission, and it can alert user of any malicious activity.
Small Network: Designed and implement a small network using raspberry Pis. The network consists of five raspberry Pis that preform a certain task, which are DHCP/DNS server, Web server/FTP server, router, firewall, and access point/email.
Dog feeder: Used a Raspberry Pi to design a dog feeder, which uses a dc motor to control a cereal dispenser, a pressure sensor to determine if the bowl is empty, and a camera, which will take a picture of the dog and send it to an email.
