Core designer and implementer of
ProSentry.
ProSentry is a security application which monitors Internet facing
servers for changes to resources such as DNS records, service version
banners, web page content, domain registration records.
ProSentry also scans for common vulnerabilities.
The application was developed in Java and runs on Windows, Linux and
Solaris.
I was responsible for much of the architecture and development of the
product. Designed and implanted an interpreter and runtime environment to run Nessus project NASL scripts using JavaCC and JJTree. Implemented a complete runtime environment. This included functions to forge, transmit and intercept packets. The system included a small amount of C code to read and write raw packets to the network. The entire system including the C code runs on Windows, Linux and Solaris.
