HANDS-ON PROJECTS
Research Antivirus Software
For Windows machines, the built-in Windows Defender is considered to be a fairly decent solution for home users, but it does have inherent weaknesses. Several good antivirus solutions are available on the market today, some of which is OS agnostic (meaning they work for multiple operating systems)and some of which are customized to a specific OS. Many also have free versions. In this project, you research options for two different operating systems:
From the following list, select two operating systems for which you will research antivirus
options: Windows, Linux, OS X, Android, Chrome OS, or UNIX.
Research and select three antivirus solutions for your chosen operating systems. Compare
features, cost, reported effectiveness, and feedback from reviewers.
Create a table or spreadsheet comparing the pros and cons of each alternative. Which
would you choose and why?
File extensions are important, so tell us why you think that. You can name three file extensions in a random folder on your computer. You can also find out what software packages were used to make them. Most file extensions should be visible when you right-click on a file and choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu (Microsoft Windows environment).

Device drivers are the key to how various hardware devices interface with the computer. Task: Develop a device driver that can be loaded and run in Linux. Then add some functionality to the device driver such as the user/application passing in a string to the device driver and the device driver returns an encrypted version of the string or passes in the excrypted string and returns the original string. Include a document on how to build, load and interact with the device driver along with screen shots of output. Requirements: It must be written in C. It must be a valid an loadable device driver with at least some user/application functionality. That includes an open, release, read, write, and at least one ioctl command.
