Hello! I would like to apply at Wireshark for GSoC 2013. I have checked the list of projects and interested in (and capable of doing) some of them. The project I am mainly interested in is "Wireshark for Android". I have a good android development experience and have used libpcap to develop simple sniffer application.
I wanted to know whether we can apply for multiple projects at wireshark to increase our chances of selection? Though my main interest is Wireshark for Android I want to apply at all the projects I am capable of completing. The mentors can select me for the project they think I am suitable for.
The other projects that I am interested are:
a) Capture Permissions
b) Process Information
c) New Export Objects
d) Improved Fuzzing
e) Packet Editor (cli)
My relevant experience is as follows:
Programming Languages: C (Excellent), Java (Good), Python (Good), Shell Scripting (Good)
Relevant Projects:
SimpleSniffer: It is a very basic sniffer for *nix programmed in C using the libpcap library.
Network Monitor: An Android application with basic functionality such as port scanning, network discovery etc.
- I have good experience with Android application development.
- I have been using Wireshark regularly since about 4-5 yrs.
