Project ideas
User-Friendly Network Analyzer
There are plenty of existing tools to help people analyze what's going on in their network, but it can be difficult for the average user to understand and diagnose issues just by using these tools. This project would create an application that takes data from these tools, infer things about the traffic in the user's network, and present the user with a summary of the findings.
Secure Chat Application
For this project, you would create your own chat application, allowing users on different machines to communicate. You would also implement security measures, including authenticating users (via a username/password), and identifying/blocking suspicious messages.
