This year I got selected for Google Summer of Code 2020 under The Honeynet Project and worked on the SNARE/TANNER. GSoC 2020 was very special for me because I finally got selected for the organization, for which I’ve been trying to get selected for the past 2 years.

Background

I got to know about Google Summer of Code in 2018 when I learned that my elder brother has done it 3 years in a row. He wanted me to try to get selected for any org that I like. So I started looking for projects on GSoC archives and came across the Honeynet Project org. I was interested in it because I really liked all the projects under it, projects like Snare Tanner, Thug, etc. I think these projects attracted my attention because they have a feel of being related to the `Information Security` field.
