May `00 to Aug `00 Member of Technical Staff
Client : ODS - USA
Team Size : Eight
Responsibilities : Design, development coding in C, develop module Analyser, CFG, PortScan, BPF filter, MOM and lectures on Project.
The Personal intruder detection system will prevent from the hack attack in the network. The Analyser will help to find malicious packets from the IP packet in the network. It also installs a driver component that blocks packets from select IP addresses. The GUI application is the third component that configures the driver for IP / Port blocking. The driver component will block the various IP. Each packet is subjected to a series of checks for hack-signatures. If any signature is found to be present, then the packet is dumped to a file and also a suitable alarm is raised through the GUI and the attack is logged into a separate file. It also communicates with the Protocol / IM drivers for setting IP/Port blocking and security levels at the IM driver. The GUI component used to configure IM driver and generate a Intruder report.

PC I/O Interface card
Mar `96 to june `96 Systems Engineer
Client : Vaasum Softtech
Team Size : Individual
Responsibilities : Design hardware, wrote communication code. PC I/O Interface card is connected to the expansion slot J2 of the PC expansion unit. To transmit/receive data to/from various systems connected outside the PC through the PC-I/O card. Hence it is useful in the diagnosis of various systems connected externally to the PC. The PC-I/O card consists of 5 transmit and 5 receive ports viz., A - Eout and A - Ein respectively. Each port is an 8 bit latch which acts as a parallel port. The card also contains 3 sets of DIP switch and 3 comparators for address selection, and 2 encoders and 5 latches for the input/output enable controls of the ports. Two unidirectional buffers are used to transfer the address bits A0 - A15 from the PC to the PCIO card. The controls bits (AEN, WR/RD etc.) are transferred through another unidirectional buffer. A bi-directional buffer is used to write/read data onto/from the PC-I/O ports.
