About me

I am a Master's student in Information Security at Georgia Institute of Technology. My current research focusses on spam detection and mitigation under Professor Nick Feamster. I am also fortunate to work with Dr Nitin . I received my B.Tech in Computer Science at Jaypee University of Information Technology(JUIT).

Projects

  • RSS security: Prevention of code injection attacks in web applications [Document Object Model(DOM), PHP, Mysql, Yahoo User Interface(YUI)]
    • - Modified the YUI to prevent code injection attacks by redefining the DOM object.
    - Tested it against existing as well as custom defined attack suite.

  • GTDeals: An online community with sections devoted to sales, services, housing etc for GT members. [Android, PHP, Mysql, Apache server]
    • - Developed a website for the users to interact with others and sell/buy stuff.
    - Designed a module for website interaction with android.

  • Mobcast: Broadcast of radio, news, music on a cellular device[using Fall 2009 asterisk PBX, mysql, PHP, gabcast , RSS]
    • -Created a PHP script to fetch the RSS events such as news, weather, astrology and sports. These events are available upon dialing a number, through asterisk server.
    -Configured Asterisk dial plan for incorporating the above features.

  • Load balanced routing in interconnection networks.[ bigsim simulator, java]
    - Designed and developed a new algor i thm which we called ADRA
    • Adaptive Deterministic Routing Algorithm.
    - Developed a java module for implementation of topologies and various traffic patterns.
