Summer project

Cybersecurity Specialization · Cohort 2026

Baseera

Build a distributed honeypot platform that collects attack data from multiple nodes and aggregates it into a centralized threat intelligence system. The system will simulate various vulnerable services, log attacker interactions, and process the data to generate attacker profiles, IP reputations, and geolocation insights. Aggregated threat information can be exported as actionable feeds for defensive security teams. The platform also provides a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring, analytics, and alerting.
