Hello guys,

I'm looking for innovative ideas to develop a software in either networking or network security

In anticipation of your ideas.

Reading your post I have the feeling that you have no clue about networking but you want to develop something that requires the knowledge of every single piece of that technical area. What do you know about networking and its low level implementation on any of the platforms? In order to be able to write security software first you have to know how to attack networking systems in order to be able to defend these kind of attacks. Lets start checking out the toolset of bad guys - learn about the weapons of your enemy before developing your shields.

On the other hand a simple client server program pair that sends even a single byte from one endpoint to the other can already be considered as a networking application even if it isn't serious. What do you mean on software in networking?

You could write an application that goes out searching the network/internet for innovative project ideas.

I know about networking & security too. I have used several tools related to network security, many offensive tools like network login crackers, exploitation tools, network sniffers like tcpdump, wireshark ,firewall evasion tools etc,.

@ThePhantomUpvoter

That would be a web bot Big Grin | :-D

Guys, give me some innovative ides, I agree that i've no good innovation but have good technical

skills.
Ppl like to make fun of others when they cant give serious reply.


@pasztoristi

Thanks man. But i've developed some voip servers, p2p file sharing,encrypted chat servers , icmp probing scripts & some firewall evasion snippets.

So, now looking after some new ideas.

That's a completely different situation! :-) You should have mentioned the additional details because this way your post looks like that of many eager guys who wanna change the world without the required knowledge.

In this case you could probably get the best ideas from guys who have been using these tools on a daily basis. They probably have a lot of problematic tasks that could be automatized or simplified or maybe solved if a problem has no right solution. Another area where you could reinvent a lot of wheels is the mobile zone, many simple apps can reborn as a slick mobile version.

Network security: Creating a network security software never finishes. If you start writing one alone you will have to sacrifice your life on it. Lets check network security for example from the perspective of a windows client: It requires a firewall and a lot of "anti-hacks" that prevent downloaded malicious softwares to build themselves into the kernel and get out to the internet. It is probably a major pain in the ass to put together such software. On server side security is usually a good linux and networking software setup. What you can do on server side is maybe automatization of the network setup of a distro or finding/patching holes in the protocol of some networking software maybe creating a better alternative to some existing ones that are terrible at their roots... Software that detects holes.

Or simply get a job at a network security company if you can... There you could boost your knowledge easily!
