Scan8 is a distributed scanning system for detecting trojans, viruses, malware, and other malicious threats embedded in files. The system will allow one to submit a list of URLs or files and get the scan results in return. Currently the user interface of this project is outdated and does not support real time data updates from the database. The aim of this project is to resolve the problem of real-time data orchestration by integrating websockets and by updating the user interface to make it more user-friendly

The main goal of this year's contribution is to make the TensorMap application bug free with clearly documented steps for setup. That will be the initial task I will be attempting. Then, I will add some features to the app to make it more user friendly for beginners. Finally, the code base will be simplified, and documentation will be updated.

Finding out web vulnerabilities for specific targets(URLs) is a critical task. For this OWASP ZAP-ZED helps by using its various scan functionalities like active, passive and spider scan. These scans scrutinize the target URL for different standard vulnerabilities and thus is an extensive process. The target(URLs) could be distributed among Ray cluster nodes deployed on the cloud-native platform where ZAP is running as a daemon. This architecture scales the process of finding vulnerabilities for targets. The purpose of this project is to create a parallelized tool that could fetch vulnerabilities of different websites in an efficient way such that the process could be scaled and automated for cybersecurity research. This project has the setup for ZAP, Ray and Terraform as infrastructure as code for GCP ready and tasks for setup automated using Ansible. Project Architecture RayZed tool would have the following main components: 1. Terraform 2. Cloud-native platforms(GCP) 3. VMs of cloud-native platforms configured for ssh, firewall and local execution(ZAP). 4. Ray manages the parallelized architecture of the head and workers.

The Scan8 project aims to develop a distributed scanning system for detecting malicious threats such as trojans, viruses, and malware embedded in files. The current system only supports scanning binaries, but this project proposes the development of a plugin to capture all the content of a given URL and submit it to the Scan8 scanner for analysis. The plugin will allow users to submit a list of URLs or files to the system, and receive scan results in return. By expanding the capabilities of the Scan8 system to include scanning web-based content, the project seeks to improve the detection and prevention of online threats. The expected results of the project include the successful development and implementation of the plugin, which will be integrated into the existing Scan8 system. The plugin will enable the system to analyze web-based content, providing a more comprehensive approach to threat detection. Overall, the Scan8 project aims to enhance online security and protect users from potential threats through the development of an advanced scanning system.

NodeCloud is a standard library to get a single API on the open cloud with multiple providers. It is a NodeJs library which comes with plugins for each cloud provider. NodeCloud's aim is to abstract away the differences between different cloud providers. It provides an easy to use API for developers in order to interact with different cloud providers.
