Linux Failed Authentication Notifier

Created a bash script that worked with the PAM authentication modules of a computer system on Linux to be able to send notifications via SMTP using a mailing server to a personal email address using standard TLS and SASL authentication with an attached photo taken through the computer's default camera to capture the individual behind the camera at the time whenever a failed login attempt would be logged. Usage of open source tools such as Postfix as an MUA (Mail User Agent), Mutt being used as an (Mail Transfer Agent) and fswebcam being used as a Linux CLI interface for configurations with the camera that the bash script implemented. 

This project gave me a good insight and good learning curve on bash scripting, and working with the PAM authentication modules under the hood for linux.

AutoSpotify Project

Currently working on a project that would work with BlueZ Bluetooth Libraries in C++ and a Raspberry Pi 4B where if a MAC address belonging to the Bluetooth adapter on my phone were to be recognized, the Raspberry Pi would be able to play music that was queued up previously before the phone was in proximity to the device by connecting to the device via SSH or other protocols and sending commands to the shell.

This project would give me more of an insight on BlueZ Bluetooth libraries and the protocol stack, and will develop my programming experience that I have in C++ and implementation of DBus.
