Possible Contender

I have found an extension that might be possible, thanks to someone. =w=
Squid Log Parser with Spoofing Detection.

One thing to note, though. I'm not really sure how will the spoofer detection will fit in with a log parser..
So yeah, this is not yet set on stone.

What I envision is that this SP will make a squid log parser that checks all of the clients connected and the information of their connection (bandwidth, time, etc). It will use Squint, an open-source squid log parser, or if possible, something from scratch.
The spoofer detector traces IPs that are masking themselves as others to illegally access other resources. It won't do anything about the culprit, it will just trace it's true IP.

So yeah, that's basically it. Further research is needed, because most likely this feature has already been implemented on squid proxy servers.. or much worse, this detector is impossible to implement in this set-up.
I plan on talking to my adviser later about this matter.

Until then.

Expectations

Before I forget, our adviser also told us to post our expectations here. Expectations for the SP and the like.

I expect myself to take this seriously, especially at this stage where a concrete proposal is still lacking. :/
Oh, and more lightbulbs for my head please. If only I can increase this attention span of mine.
Oh, and to finish this SP of mine, of course.

For our SP adviser, I'd expect him to guide us in any way possible. Although I have to admit these weekly meetings can get a bit tiring, I believe it's for the best.

With these, my expectations are now set.

Decision

Decided to go forth with taking one of the topics given by the ITC: squid log parsing.

Now I only need to extend that idea some more. A co-advisee of mine is also taking this up as well.
I'm quite conscious that some of our ideas may be the same.

I seriously need that lightbulb right now.

Obligatory First Post

Obligatory first post!

This blog has been created as per our SP adviser's request, Sir Joseph Hermocilla.
In here I will post my status updates as well as some random musings about my Special Problem..

.. which is so far, is non-existent. =w=
Have to get serious on thinking.
