Projects
| S.No. | Title | Language/Tools Used | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A Transactional Store | C++ language on Unix Platform | Implemented a robust and durable store using logging. The transactions performs these 4 operations – read, write, allocate, and release. This transaction store is deadlock free and support concurrent transactions. There is a recovery program also which is used to bring the store up to date. |
| 2 | Unix Minishell | C language on Unix Platform | Developed an Unix minishell that reads command inputs from the user and performs those operations. The shell supported • input/output redirection including stdin <, stdout >, and stderr > • pipes |, • process control (&, ctrl-Z, ctrl-C) • multiple commands on the same line separated by semicolon (;), • argument parsing with above symbols, single quote (’) and double quote ("). |
| 3 | HTTP Server | C language on Unix Platform | Developed a rudimentary http server based on HTTP version 1.0 specified in RFC 1945. The server handles the operations GET, HEAD and POST. It also handles the header fields Content-Length, Content-Type, Date, Expires, If-Modified-Since, Last-Modified, Server, and User-Agent. |
| 4 | Reliable packet delivery protocol on top of UDP | C language on Unix Platform | Implemented reliable packet delivery protocol on top of UDP. The protocol ensures reliable delivery of packets given that the types of errors are: Lost packets, Out-of-order delivery of packets, Corrupted packets, and Duplicate packets |
| 5 | SFL Interpreter | Smalltalk | Designed and implemented an interactive interpreter for the Simple Functional Programming Language. The interpreter essentially carries out a read- eval- print loop. During the first phase (read) the interpreter reads a functional expression typed interactively by a user. In the next phase (eval), the interpreter evaluates that expression. Finally, in the print phase the interpreter prints the result of evaluating the expression back on user’s display. |
| 6 | Travel Assistant tool | C++ | Developed a travel assistant tool that helps in deciding the order in which a sales representative should visit a group of cities, based on criteria such as minimizing the cost or the time involved in the trips. |
| 7 | The Buffer Bomb | gdb, Assembly Language | It involved applying a series of buffer overflow attacks on an executable file bufbomb. |
| 8 | Java Broadband TV | Java | Developed a program that offers a secure broadband TV service for customers. It involved various security aspects of the Java Language. |
| 9 | Network Sniffer | C on Unix Platform | Developed a network sniffer which allows or drops packets based on a set of rules. |
| 10 | Efficient IR Style Keyword Search | Java | Designed and implemented a keyword search engine in Java. |
