Development and Evaluation of an Attack Detection System in a Computer Network
2018-01-17 00:00:00 +0000
This project saw the implementation and evaluation of an Anomaly Network Intrusion Detection System (ANIDS) based on soft computing techiniques such as genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic. The system was tested with UGR’16 dataset and compared with several other consolidated techniques such as kNN, SVM, logistic regression, naive Bayes and LSTM neural networks. Various scenarios have been designed to check the behaviour of the implemented systems. The entire project has been realized in Python language using the following libraries: scikit-learn, pandas, Keras, TensorFlow.
This project has been developed as master thesis project in the computer engineering master’s degree program at University of Pisa.

MailBox
2018-01-08 00:00:00 +0000
MailBox is a pure Java SE application where multiple senders send messages to a single receiver trough a mailbox with limited buffer. The mailbox is able to manage different priorities among the various sender and is made of 2 thread in order to receive and send messages simultaneously. The application uses shared memory to implement the inter-process communication.
MailBox has been developed as final project for the concurrent programming exam, part of the computer engineering master’s degree program at University of Pisa.

Intel Core i7 3960X Architecture
2018-01-07 00:00:00 +0000
In this project we analyzed the Intel Core i7 3960X architecture, an high-end hexa-core microprocessor introduced by Intel in late 2011. We made a report where we show the enhancement from the previous architectures, some of the Intel’s proprietary technologies and the architectural aspects from a developer point of view. Furthermore we made another report dedicated only to the cache of this microprocessor.
These reports has been made as final project for the computer architectures exam in the Computer Engineering master’s degree program at University of Pisa.

Remote Compressor
2018-01-03 00:00:00 +0000
Remote Compressor is a distributed application based on a client-server model. The client sends files to the server through a TCP socket. The server creates a compressed archive made of the files received from the client and sends this archive back to the client. The user can choose: the compression algorithm used by te server, the name of the compressed archive and the connection port. The server can accept multiple requests at a time thanks to the multithreading support.
The application is written in C programming language using “Pthreads” library for the multithreading support. Furthermore has been compiled and tested on FreeBSD 6.2.
Remote Compressor has been developed as final project for the network organization exam, part of the Computer Engineering bachelor’s degree program at University of Pisa.
