Two University Projects: WSN Design & Cyber Forensic…

Project 1 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

Overview

This project focuses on designing a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) solution for a real-world problem selected from a given list (e.g., smart cities, healthcare, traffic, agriculture, etc.).

Required Work

1. Introduction (Problem & Proposal)

  • Select one problem
  • Explain its importance
  • Propose a WSN-based solution

2. Literature Review & Research Questions

  • Review existing solutions and technologies
  • Include at least 5 academic references
  • Define research questions based on analysis

3. Methodology (System Design)

  • Sensors used
  • Communication protocols
  • Network architecture
  • Role of each component
  • Step-by-step implementation plan
  • Task distribution
  • Optional simulation (if applicable)

4. Results / Findings

  • Expected outcomes
  • Ideal solution explanation
  • Limitations

5. Conclusion

  • Full summary of project (problem, design, feasibility, challenges)

6. PowerPoint Presentation

  • Prepare slides for a 5-minute presentation covering:
    • Problem
    • Solution
    • Design
    • Implementation
    • Feasibility

Project 2 Cyber Forensics (Mobile/Computer Forensics)

Overview

This project is a digital forensic investigation based on a case where an employee is suspected of leaking confidential data using a mobile or computer device.

Required Work

1. Planning & Tools

  • Define objectives and investigation plan
  • Explain forensic tools (e.g., Autopsy, ExifTool, Maltego, etc.)
  • Include legal and ethical considerations

2. Investigation

a. Document / PDF Analysis (3 files)

  • Extract:
    • File details
    • Timestamps
    • Author
    • Metadata
  • Include screenshots

b. Image Analysis (3 files)

  • Extract:
    • Image details
    • Capture time
    • Device info
    • GPS (if available)
    • Editing traces
  • Include screenshots

c. Browser Artifacts (2 browsers)

  • Analyze:
    • History
    • Downloads
    • Cookies
    • Cache
    • Credentials (metadata only)
    • Suspicious activity
    • Upload traces
  • Include screenshots

3. Final Report

  • Objectives and plan
  • Case description
  • Tools used + justification
  • Evidence and analysis
  • Findings and conclusion

Important Requirements (For Both Projects)

  • Must follow the official assignment template (Project 1)
  • Submit Word + PDF files (no ZIP)
  • All work must be clearly shown (no shortcuts)
  • Strict plagiarism/SafeAssign rules apply
  • Screenshots are mandatory (Project 2)
  • Must use real tools for analysis (Project 2)
  • Writing must be detailed, structured, and academic
  • Font: Times New Roman
  • Late or incorrect submission format will result in zero

This is not simple work both projects require:

  • Technical understanding
  • Proper research
  • Clear explanation
  • Organized reports
