Design, Development and Verification of Network Specific Intrusion Detection System (IPv4) Guide: Prof. Sukumar Nandi, Professor, IIT Guwahati May-July 2010 Dr. Santosh Biswas, Assistant Professor, IIT Guwahati Keywords: IDS, ARP, ICMP Worked on IDS to detect LAN based attacks exploiting vulnerabilities of various protocols namely ARP and ICMP. Common attacks such as ARP Spoofing, MITM, ICMP port redirection, ICMP DOS, ICMP data rate throttling (source quench), OS fingerprinting were targeted. Proposed various enhancements (implementation), improvements and new algorithms to detect these attacks. Design, Development and
Verification of Network Specific
Intrusion Detection System (IPv6) Propose and implement detection mechanism for various LAN based attacks against ICMPv6 and NDP. IPv6 is vulnerable to legacy attacks in its IPv4 counterpart such as SMURF, LAND. Stateless Auto configuration suffer from DOS attack, Router Solicitation suffer from spoofing and many more known attacks are target. Also IPv6 being relatively unexplored ICMPv6 may have many new vulnerabilities. Attacks on Transmission control protocol and their mitigation
mechanisms Proxy Server and HTTP Pinger Implemented a simple proxy server which supported HTTP Pipelining. Also programmed a HTTP based Pinger which used HTTP instead of regular ICMP packets. PintOS, Enhance an Educational Operating System
Guide: Dr. Jatindra Kr. Deka, Assoc. Professor, IIT Guwahati Keywords: Operating System, Kernel With the aim of enhancing OS kernel of PINTOS (Developed by Stanford USA), following features were added to the bare bone kernel :
Design and Implementation of 4 bit CPU using Micro programmed control A 2-pass Assembler , and 2-pass loader Guide:Dr. Santosh Biswas, Assistant Professor, IIT Guwahati Keywords:Assembler, Loader Programmed a 2-pass assembler and 2-pass loader for Intel 8086 machines using C++ . This was done to understand the working of assembler and loader. The final machine code generated was simulated on 8086 simulator. Digital Fortress Keywords: Cryptography, Reverse engineering, Stenography Developed a platform for Digital Fortress, an online hacking event under Techniche 09 (Technical Fest of IIT Guwahati). The platform developed tested varied skill set such as network programming, cryptography, reverse engineering, PHP vulnerabilities, Stenography, Cross-site Scripting. It is a web based interface which received a huge participation from around the country. BTP Automation Automation of Slot distribution for BTech Project presentations, using a simple and easy to use web interface was developed using PHP, MYSQL, JSP, HTML & CSS. Perl-Based Text Processor Developed a Perl based text processor with features such as spell check, spell suggestions and text search. Spell suggestion module was build using phonetic based algorithms (Double Metaphone in particular). | Ongoing
