Featured Projects
ARP Spoof Detection Tool
Developed a real-time ARP spoof detector using raw packet capture to identify spoofed IP-MAC mappings. Implemented threshold-based detection with logging, IP blocking via iptables, and automated email alerts. Supports multiple interfaces and provides CLI options for lookup and version info. Helps in proactive network security and monitoring against ARP-based attacks.
Multi-Threaded Secure Chat Server
Built a secure multithreaded chat server with user authentication, encrypted communication, and private messaging. Integrated MySQL for backend user management, bcrypt for password hashing, and mutual TLS for secure client-server verification. Includes features like registration/login, chat logging, certificate validation, and real-time encrypted messaging across clients.
Password Strength Checker Tool
Developed a C-based tool that evaluates and enhances password security. It assesses passwords for length, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special symbols, and numeric sequences. The tool also sanitizes input to ensure only safe characters are used. Ideal for developing and testing strong password practices.
PEC Hacks 2.0 Website
Contributed for the development of pec hacks 2.0, ticket generation and check in system for the hackathon.
