Projects
- Java AI Log Intrusion Detector
Developed a Java-based intrusion detection system that analyzes server logs using file I/O and regex parsing. Engineered feature extraction pipelines using hash-based data structures to track IP behavior, login failures, and request patterns. Implemented probabilistic anomaly detection to identify suspicious activities such as brute-force attacks, achieving efficient real-time log analysis. - Outlier Detection Research (Hampel & Boxplot Analysis) Developed a Java-based implementation of classical outlier detection methods, including the Hampel and Boxplot approaches, to analyze anomalies in small-sample datasets. Implemented sliding-window Hampel filtering and IQR-based Boxplot detection for comparative analysis, evaluated a research paper’s approach of replacing MAD with mean and identified limitations in robustness, and proposed and tested an alternative method to improve detection sensitivity while preserving robustness.
