Hey there ! This is Akshika , I am a third year student pursuing Btech in India. I am interested in developing a netcat-like tool for the OpenAFS community under Gsoc'25 and have written a proposal for the same ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XFgrTYjmbIimVWS54UZGVzfjVlX62a1Y27ijiqtPXCU/edit?usp=sharing ).
I am exploring the network security domain. Some relevant projects I have completed : - Chat Application using socket programming with encrypted communication - Created several vulnerable VMs to simulate real-world Network functions Virtualization and test security features . - Bash Scripting to automate network reconnaissance in Penetration Testing - Continually practice low-level programming , pointer arithmetic, and memory-efficient data handling problems in C language I'd really appreciate any feedback you might have, especially on technical feasibility and alignment with OpenAFS’s priorities Thanks Akshika Munshi
