API Security Testing and Rate-Limit Dashboard
Automated REST API vulnerability scanner and sliding-window rate limiting middleware with real-time DDoS telemetry.
Project Overview
Tests API endpoints against BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization), injection flaws, and missing authentication. Includes Redis-backed leaky bucket rate limiting middleware to prevent brute force attacks. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for API Security Testing and Rate-Limit Dashboard.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
