SquidControlServer (Network Security)

This is a Project to secure a network like a wireless network.

NOTE: the project is still in the phase of completion since I have to finalize some things. Altough I have tried my best to make all the subprojects loosely coupled from each other. Each subpoject is in a different folder so that if different teams are allocated the same project they can do it without disturbing the other sub-projects. (the Project follows Singelton Design pattern i.e: only one instance can run) *we still need to do a little modifications so that it can run on any computer as I'm lacking time to devote to it.

this project was compiled and coded on Ubuntu 12.01 LTS

REQUIREMENTS:

• 2 network interface cards
• Apache ANT
• Apache Tomcat (for hosting web pages)
• Squid Server
• copy the libraries in the antLib folder to ant lib folder in your computer.

CURRENT LIMITATIONS : * Since wireless passwords can be obtained using softwares like backtrack. * routers have a limitation on no of MAC Addresses they can store. * MAC address can be changed these days using softwares. * Block certain websites and links.

NEED: * we need to secure the network against such hostile conditions such that we can give acess to a given gropup of identified people each with identified no of computers.

IDEA Here we use can use a proxy server but how will it manage about changing MAC addresses or allowing or removing certain pople from a network. We create a utility such that it controls this Proxy server.

ACHIVEMENTS:

• A secure wireless network (in the worst case the wireless password, username and password of person is stolen)
• A optimization no of connections by creatings sessions.
• Optimizing bandwith.
• caching pages & increasing speed.
• A utility to connect.
• this utility should be created dynamically on users demand.
• it is copy secure (if copied cannot run on other systems).
• The information to check the authentication of computer should not be taken from a file but should be hardcoded and encrypted into the program.
• A web interface to make registrations and change details of authenticated computer.
• A verification mechanism to verify the combination of username, password, and computer requesting connection.

HOW TO INSTALL *We need to do a little modifications so that it can run on any computer.

• Use build.xml to build from source.
• It uses other build.xml (Since we have modulularized the build.xml)
• run 'sudo ant'

HOW TO GENERATE DOCUMENTATION use ant docs

YOU CAN USE OTHER OPTIONS, SEE build.xml in this directory only

HOW TO EDIT

• Altough I prefer command line since this project was coded on notepad++ but I have tried my best so that one can integrate it with eclipse Just add all th above folder as projects and open the build.xml and run it to compile and run.
