Projects

Wireless Individual Encryption (WIE)

Github
Wireless Individual Encryption tackles two main problems present with public WiFi networks. First, it creates a system of verification for wifi networks that prevents man-in-the-middle attacks whereby an attacker can “spoof” a trusted wifi networks which can be used to trick devices into connecting to an attackers network rather than the desired one. Second, it introduces encryption to previously unsecured networks that prevent an attacker from being able to intercept communication between the client and the network.

AirSimWorld

Website
AirSimWorld is an online Airline Tycoon Business Simulator that tries to accurately emulate what it would be like to run a real airline. The goal is to give player a choice to run the most RyanAir-esque, no frills, bringing your arms on board costs extra airline, to the most prestigious gulf carriers, or anything in between. Players can run a hub-and-spoke airline, relying on connections at their hubs to give them traffic, or a point to point model. The choice is theirs!
