As a Python developer and security enthusiast, I always wanted to contribute to open-source security projects. When I learned about GSoC from one of my seniors, I started searching for security organizations and came across Honeynet. They had just announced their ideas for this year’s GSoC, and one of them was BuffaLogs, which matched my tech stack perfectly. I began contributing in late Feb'25, submitting PRs to implement alerters and making small refactors to get familiar with the codebase. Since my early contributions focused on alerters, I decided to continue working on integrating more of them and improving the alerting logic in my proposal.

September 1, 2025 officially marks the end of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 coding period. Over the past four months, I’ve had the privilege of contributing as a developer to The BuffaLogs Project under The Honeynet Project. It’s been four months of doing what I love most—building and shipping code.
We are happy to announce that we have been selected as an organization to participate in Google Summer of Code 2024! This will be the 15th time that Honeynet is participating in the Google Summer of Code program to accelerate the creation of information- and cyber security related tools that are free and open source software. We are now entering the community bonding phase during which students are encouraged to reach out and interact with organizations and start getting involved with potential projects. We strongly recommend to join our Discord.
