Student Developer for The Honeynet Project

May 2016Aug 2016 · 3 mos · Remote

  • Google Summer of Code is one of the most prestigious programs a Computer Science student can participate in with students competing for places from all over the world.
  • This was my 3rd year as a GSoC student and this time I worked for The Honeynet Project on an HTTP proxy tool called mitmproxy.
  • Ported mitmproxy from Python 2 to Python 3.
  • This required adding a lot of unit-tests to improve code coverage, so we could ensure that the porting process didn't break anything.
  • Added the ability to export requests as Python code/HAR file etc.
  • Improved the cookie parser class to support comma separated cookies.
  • Pull requests made to project: https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Apr+author%3Adufferzafar

  • Google Summer of Code is one of the most prestigious programs a Computer Science student can participate in with students competing for places from all over the world.
  • This was my 2rd year as a GSoC student where I worked for MetaBrainz Foundation on a book & music review website called CritiqueBrainz.
  • The core of the my work focused on adding support for entities other than books/music to be reviewed. For eg. music events! This required a lot of changes to the database schema, and associated models & APIs.
  • I also created an admin interface for the applications that allowed some users to manage (edit, delete) reviews.
