Spring 2013

• Self-destructing Hard Drive: Michael Backherms, Martin Brown, Ben Buzbee
  This project requires a uniquely-keyed USB device to be inserted during the boot process. If the correct USB device is not inserted, a destructive countdown sequence is started. This project implements various methods to stop the countdown, including the use of a big red button.


• MagTek USB Card Scanner Driver: Steven Bronson, Patrick Tully
  This device driver manages a MagTek USB card reader and allows userspace program to easily get swiped card info.

Summer 2012

• USB Boot Authentication: Sean Easton and Bobby Roy
  For our project, we wanted to edit the Linux kernel boot process to require that a user, as part of the authentication process, insert a uniquely-keyed USB device. If the user failed to provide the required device, the boot process would halt, preventing the machine from booting normally until the device was inserted.


• GPS Drift Correction: Zachary Yannes
  Autosync Samsung Captivate clock using GPS


• TrueEject: Muye Liu and Weisu Wang


• NetLag: Erin Johnson
  Linux kernel module to simulate geographically large networks by introducing a lag to incoming traffic from targeted IPs.
