Lawrence Institute-Southfield, MI.
05-12 to present Tampa, FL
Senior Software Engineer
Software development for a network security company. The design of a FreeBSD based IDS/IPS system that uses
Open Source Snort and it's newest rules. It has a number of external processes that contribute to the processing and
distribution of alerts and IP blocks.
The communication scheme between processes is IPC (Inter Process Communication). IPC synchronizes the
transfer of data from each process to the next.
Several windows GUIs have been created to form alertable packets from the rules, and capture the alerts, in order to
test function and performance. TCP/IP, UDP, IP and raw packet generation are used to perform penetration tests.
Creation of a secure client and server pair to remotely control function and operation of the IDS/IPS system. The
server is C++ on the FreeBSD platform and the client is a GUI that was created with the NetBeans IDE using JAVA.
The user is authenticated on the Active Directory by the server using Kerberos (krb5). Communication between the
client and server is secured by the TLSv1 (Transport Layer Security) protocol. Multiple simultaneous users are
allowed by the multi-threaded server. A pseudo watchdog timer is employed to notify a client that the server is
down.
FreeBSD GUI port from QT 3.3.8 to QT 4.7 using QT Creator and QT Designer including new .ui user interface
components.
