    Description/Abstract:
    There are around 2700 locations with National Park in their title on our planet, and more than 6500 locations with Category II type of protected areas that defines “National Park” per International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA). So far, there is not a single website or mobile app dedicated to the World’s National Parks where all the information about the parks is available on a map. If any user wants to search information about the world’s national parks, he or she will have to rely on Wikipedia, TripAdvisor, travel blogs, or find the park’s official website. Searching for a list of World National Parks on online search engines usually returns an incomplete Wikipedia page or short list of well-known or well publicized National Parks. That makes the search very difficult and doesn’t give all the information. Also, there is not a single database or API with all the world’s national parks on the Internet. We’ve created The World’s National Parks website and mobile application that provides a brief information and a map of all the National Parks. Mobile Application has features like finding parks nearby and directions.

    Description/Abstract:
    IT security teams at small companies are often understaffed and overworked, according to a survey published by Sophos (June 2019). ReapRE is an automated malware analysis tool designed to assist analysts at small businesses. Unlike other costly solutions, the analyst will not have to worry about potential confidential data leakage resulting from a 3rd party application breach, as everything will be hosted internally. A potentially malicious document will be uploaded by an analyst into a locally hosted instance of our application, where it will then be run against a stack of malware analysis tools. A summarized report will be given to the analyst based on its findings and a list of indicators of compromise (hashes, IPs, URLs, domains, etc.). After review, the analyst is able to import the IOCs into a local database, Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP).

  • OmegaGraf

    Student Work thumbnail: OmegaGraf
    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    According to IEEE, agile methodologies have drive organizations to alter their infrastructure at an ever-increasing rate. Thus, it is important to also accelerate the deployment time for external monitoring systems to provide fast and continuous feedback to security, development, and infrastructure teams. VMware's vCenter is a product that, according to VMware's hardening guides, requires external monitoring from the moment it is put into production. Existing solutions (e.g. SexiGraf, psview, and checkmk) do not adhere to infrastructure-as-code principals, and are instead deployed as complex, monolithic and non-integrating applications. In response to this need, we built OmegaGraf, a one-click vCenter monitoring solution. OmegaGraf is an entirely open-source, containerized solution, confused and deployed through a simple web interface, providing dynamic dashboards, granular time series data, environment aggregation, and alerting. Best of all, OmegaGraf is deployable in under five minutes, allowing IT professionals to provide value to their organization faster than ever before.

  • AutoAttend

    Student Work thumbnail: AutoAttend
    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    According to research done by IEEE (2016), “recording attendance is inefficient and takes up too much class time especially with larger groups of students,” and if attendance takes 5 minutes of a 45 minute period, that means that 10% of class time is lost taking attendance. Another research report completed by UC Berkley (2017) stated that time in class is when students are most productive. Important class time is wasted taking attendance, so being able to remove the amount of time taken by attendance would be beneficial to students. AutoAttend assisted with this issue by using a fingerprint scanner to sign students into the classroom. AutoAttend saved time taking attendance, which helped improve student performance.

    Description/Abstract:
    According to the American Kennel Club (Donovan, 2019), socializing a dog with humans and other dogs is an important part of the training process that when properly implemented, can lead to a happy and healthy life for the dog. Pet Connect provides users with a website designed with their dog’s social needs in mind. Users can register and create a profile for their dog(s) that showcases their personality and physical traits. They can also add family members to their dog’s profile. With their account, they can view profiles for other local dogs and reach out to their owners to see if their dogs are compatible. Currently there are no websites like Pet Connect that have a household feature and a list filtering option. Pet Connect brings dog owners together and provides a platform that promotes socially enriching interactions for their dogs.

  • Extreme Makeover: Tech Edition

    Student Work thumbnail: Extreme Makeover: Tech Edition

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Extreme Makeover: Tech Edition is an initiative to help a small business develop a technology presence. According to the Small Business Administration, approximately 33% of all small business owners are 35-49 years old and 51% are 50-88 years old. Studies, such as the “Older Adults and Technology Use” study conducted by Pew Research Center, have shown that the majority of older adults need assistance when learning new technology. At the rate that technology progresses, some business owners do not know where to start. The owner of Four Source Restoration and Remodeling fell into this category. Kelly Winhoven is a 48-year-old, small business owner with limited technology skills. Winhoven was looking for a way to improve the technology within his small business. Our team partnered with him to achieve this goal. We created a website to enhance and increase customer engagement. We built a database to organize the data structure to ease management and optimize data. We secured the company’s network and devices to protect the company from threats and vulnerabilities. We also modernized the company’s logo and gave them a social media presence. All these factors came together to create a full business technology makeover for Four Source Restoration and Remodeling.

  • PotPi

    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    The Internet of Things is an emerging market that is expected to grow to 43 billion devices by 2023.[1] This exponential growth comes with security concerns, as 80% of devices including cloud and mobile applications fail to require complex passwords, and 70% of devices did not encrypt traffic to and from its connected network.[2] Identifying the security risks can be difficult, since every network has a different combination of devices. The use of PotPi’s testing ground for emerging IoT devices provides the necessary foresight to combat the increasing number of security threats in homes and workplaces worldwide. PotPi provides this service to a growing industry and creates targeted objectives to reduce security concerns by allowing the community to discover vulnerabilities and be rewarded for doing so. Creating a game-like platform is not a new concept. In fact, there are many companies that have adopted this concept due to its increased user interaction and ability to relate to the audience it is trying to reach. Giving the community a way to show their progress and accomplishments gives companies data on what is working and what needs to be changed. More incentive to complete objectives leads to more solutions and a better market.

    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    UC Route Assistant is a mobile web application that allows the user to input their schedule and needs and determines the most optimal appropriate route for them to take on campus. This application was originally inspired by the vast quantity of new students coming to the University of Cincinnati each year. With over 7,000 new first year students in the 2019 fall semester, it is apparent that there is a need for assistance navigating the large campus. We built a mobile web application that enables the user to upload their course schedules, extracurricular activities, and accessibility preferences. UC Route Assistant processes this information and leverages Google Maps Application Programming Interface (API) to determine the fastest route that the user can take in order to reach their various destinations, while accounting for accessibility preferences and other major on-campus events. This results in less headaches having to reroute, less surprises running into blockades, and overall reduced travel time for the user.
