Intern Resume Example

Web Application Security Assessment:

- Gained hands-on experience on various web application attacks such as SQL injection, XSS , CSRF and Timing Attacks.

- Assessed a vulnerable web application and exploited the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities.

Event Detection Using OSSIM:

- Designed and created a lab setup, wherein OSSIM was deployed on a server to detect anomalous events triggered from OSSEC and Snort.

- Monitored and detected registry edits, file integrity alerts and NMAP port scans.

Mutual Authentication of crossmodal devices with zero human interaction:

- Researched and designed a secure method to perform mutual authentication of crossmodal devices leveraging sensory data.

Reverse Engineering Network Access Control Policies on a SDN:

- Research based project aimed at inferring firewall policies on a given SDN network.

- Implemented POC code in python to determine effectiveness of random probing and smart probing algorithm which made use of machine learning (SVM classifier) to determine network access control policy.

- Demonstrated that the smart probing algorithm was almost 3 times more efficient than the random probing algorithm.

Vehicle Data Bus Security Research (Sponsored by ORNL):

- Researched and created a rule based anomaly/intrusion detection technique for in-vehicle networks.​

Stateful Firewall:

- Designed and built a stateful firewall using the software router Click a modular software router used for fast prototyping of routing protocols.

Dynamic Memory Allocator:

- Designed and implemented an efficient malloc package (malloc, free, realloc and calloc) that allocates memory from within a heap, and uses a segregated list approach to manage free blocks.
