Ideas for a Security project?

[F1n]

Hey guys, I've got a couple days to do a small final project for a class, just wondering if anyone's got an idea for something I could write/research in that time that's still somewhat useful or unique. Most kids are doing something like a hash cracker but I'd really like to show off a little or at least bring something new to the table. I think this would be a cool intro to writing my own tools and contributing to the community rather than just imitating and learning from it as well.

Much thanks

You can code something that spoofs a DCHP Release, and when the client tries to reach out to the DHCP again you can spoof a new address and MItM the client.

Custom proxy.

ARP Spoofing with VLAN hopping.

Phishing with http redirects.

Botnet.

Command and Control via Github.

A script that watches tmp dirs and trys to inject code in scripts that get put there.

Stegno stuff.

Captcha hacking.

There is more, but this should get you started.

Not sure what the focus of the class is but python has an awesome packet manipulation library called scapy that I used to throw together an ARP DoS tool. Its really powerful and intuitive once you get the hang of it and can be used for a bunch of projects, just limited by creativity .
