University Projects

PCORE Recreating Malware and Creating Network Data for Analysis Charlottesville, VA University of Virginia Mitre Caldera, Ghidra, IDA Pro, Python, C/C++, MySQL May 2019 Aug 2022

• Participated in a DARPA funded project to detect infected hosts on a network, specifically focusing on ’Emotet’ banking malware.

• Acquired and defanged a live copy of ’Emotet’ by neutralizing SSL connections.

• Recreated a safer exact version, ’Eomtet’, to collect network data from both versions.

• Replicated the malware’s spread vector to develop enhanced security measures.

• Constructed the communication protocol between the infected host and the server,managing infected hosts and using RAT.

• Captured and analyzed SSL communications and network data to train ML models for identifying infected hosts.

• Developed artificial network data free from malicious connections to aid in further analysis. Analysis of Meta heuristics Optimization Algorithms Charlottesville, VA University of Virginia Python, MATLAB Jan 2023 Dec 2024

• Observeda trend in optimization algorithms leading to the publication of misleading papers that hinders scientific progress.

• Conducted a systematic analysis and recreation of new algorithms in the meta heuristics domain to assess their originality.

• Conducted in depth comparisons of algorithms on standardized functions to assess their uniqueness and effectiveness.

• Identified that certain algorithms were disguised implementations of well known algorithms, hidden by metaphorical descriptions. Patching Binaries Charlottesville, VA

University of Virginia C/C++, Ghidra, IDA Pro, Intel Pin tool May 2019 Dec 2019

• Worked on a project to patch binary files, enabling direct modification without the need for recompilation.

• Developed a mechanism to effectively apply binarypatches for small code changes, optimizing the update process. Colliding Condition Detection in Smart Cities Charlottesville, VA University of Virginia Python, RNNs, ST GCNs Jan 2019 May 2019

• Addressed the challenge of prioritizing resolutions in smart cities where colliding conditions frequently occur.

• Integrated spatial and temporal factors into decision making to address complex resolution dynamics.

• Developed machine learning models to prioritize resolutions by analyzing data, effectively eliminating less optimal choices.

• Enhanced decision making processes by distinguishing between competing conditions using advanced ML algorithms. Internship and Experience
