After the abject failure of my previous project I’ve decided to work on an existing project. This project is VauxIO. Mihir and I developed it for Big Red Hacks. Since the hackathon we have had a bunch of new ideas for things to work on. Such things include metadata extraction. Currently Vaux doesn’t do very much processing of the data it ingests. I want to add this feature which will include a bit of refactoring so background jobs are run using beanstalkd.
- Project Title: VauxIo metadata extraction
- Short Description: Distribued Document Liberation network
- Distribution System: PyPi
- Open Hardware Needed: Single raspberry pi
- Team Members: Just Me and Mihir
- Upstream Mentors: Tim Duffy

For a second project I’ve been thinking about finishing work on GitSniffer. Gitsniffer is a system designed to search the web for world readable .git directories, and notify the administrators. The core of the code has been written for my lightning talk. I want to finish it up and deploy it to a server somewhere, probably EC2. Finishing it up entails writing a quick website and a system to kick off scraping jobs to find more vulnerable sites.
- Project Title: Git Sniffer
- Short Description: Find sites with public .git directories
- Distribution System: PyPi
- Team members: Me,
- Upstream mentors: Ryan Brown

I’m pretty excited about both projects so no matter which one I end up working on for class I’ll still work on the other as well.
