Projects

>SNIPER (Final Year Project) SNIPER is a Scalable Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention system for Enterprise netwoRks designed specifically to detect and prevent intrusions in a network. A complete Distributed, Hierarchical, Fault Tolerant architecture was conceived, designed and implemented. SNIPER has the capability of both Anomaly and Misuse Detection at Gigabit speeds for an organization, as well as detecting Denial of Service attacks. Further it is flexible and extensible to be valid for any sort of enterprise and capable of analyzing any sort of traffic at whatever speed. Further SNIPER is not limited to network security but it also includes the ways to prevent individual nodes against Intrusions.
>Design and Implementation of serial communication in C.
