Academic Projects:
================
*Preemptive OS Kernel (C, x86, Simics)
Designed and developed a multithreaded preemptive kernel which supports basic system calls, virtual memory, scheduling, program loader etc. A kernel debugger has also been developed along with it.
*File System Check(fsck) utility (C)
Designed and developed multipass fsck utility for ext2 file system on linux which is able to detect and correct errors in inode, directory entries, unreferenced inodes, inode and block bitmap errors.
*Data Intensive Computing (Java, Hadoop)
Designed and developed a program to retrieve the most followed user in a huge twitter message database on Hadoop cluster, and also found the maximum occurrence of each keyword in the message database.
*Distributed Password Cracker (C++)
Designed and developed a distributed password cracker where the server handles and assigns work unit to multiple clients. Error checking, fault tolerance and synchronization have also been implemented to make it a robust server.
*Kernel Debugger (C, x86, Simics)
Designed and implemented a debugger for kernel which can be used to see the content of the registers, virtual and physical memory content, status of various threads in the systems and backtrace. The debugger is tightly coupled with the kernel which we developed.
*Kernel Supported Thread Library (C, x86, Simics)
Designed and developed a kernel-supported user level thread library which provides mutex, condition variables, semaphores, readers & writers’ locks.
*Device Drivers Library (C, x86, Simics)
Designed & developed device driver libraries for console, keyboard & timer devices and a “Sokoban” game is developed using this library.
*Dynamic Storage Allocator (Malloc Package) (C)
Designed and developed an efficient dynamic storage allocator that used explicit free lists & Segregated list to track free blocks and a first fit policy for allocating blocks in memory
*Web Proxy Server (C)
Designed & developed a multithreaded HTTP web proxy server with caching using the least recently used (LRU) replacement policy to handle HTTP requests from web browsers.
*Network Simulation (Java)
Simulated SONET networks, various packets scheduling techniques viz. FIFO, Round Robin, Weighted Round Robin, & Weighted Fair Queuing, and buffering techniques like Tail Drop, RED, PPD and EPD, Constraint based routing to provide better QoS in term of bandwidth and delay
*Network Intrusion Detection System (C, lex, Yacc)
Designed & developed a Packet capture utility and packet logger to log the incoming packet over the network, a Rules parser to parse attack recognition based rules, and a packet analyzer to detect possibility of intrusion.
*Unix Shell (C)
Developed a UNIX shell using process control & signal handling and can execute foreground/background commands.
*Host Configuration Management using Mobile Agents (Java, Aglets API)
Developed & deployed software agents using IBM’s Aglets Software Development kit which monitors hardware
configuration of each system on any platform present in the network.
