Latest meeting summary

I and Tanahy met Dr. Wael after the last exam in his office. He told us that he has send for another lpc2294 board and for both JLINK and ULINK and they should arrive very soon.

He also said that he didn't get the Money from ITAC but they send a confirmation fax to our faculty. We should get the check soon.

We also talked about our project concepts. He changed it a little bit because of time limitation.
Instead of developing a switch with multiple ethernet ports, we will use the available ethernet port to detect layer2 attack and use another port to control 3rd party switch/router to drop the attacking port.The sequence should be:
  1. Analyze traffic
  2. Detect layer 2 attack. ex. ARP attack
  3. Send command to switch/router console interface to close the attacker port.
  4. go to 1
This is the main procedure suggested by Dr. Wael. Unless we have better solution, we will stick to this suggestion.

Dr. Wael also suggested to build a (Command line interface) for the OES to control, configure and use. This should be simple as SSH.

For any discussion, use our mailing list.
