Networking project idea

[R3turnz]

Hello,
I am searching for a project idea for the raspberry pi. It shoudn't be to large and not require any extra hardware. I have quite good knowledge of c# and a bit bash. Does anyone has suggestions, maybe something with networking?
P.S I already had a look at the projects on this site.

Maybe you could help this forum user?

( It is in the Python forum, but a solution using bash might be acceptable)

Thanks for the answer but I am searching for a bit more challenging project.
Anyway, I will give it a try ; )

That is a really open ended question.

You have one computer and no idea what to do with it.

You have two or more computers linked via a network. Then what?

We could suggest almost anything.

So here is my challenge:

Connect an LED to a GPIO pin.

Arrange that from anywhere in the world, over the internet, you can turn that LED on and off.

From a web page of course.

The page should of course also report the state of that LED, on or off.

Of primary importance, make it secure. Such that only you or people with the right usernames and passwords can command the LED. Or even tell what state it is in.

Report back here with the URL of your LED and invite us to hack it.

I think you will find this quite challenge enough.

How about a filter pluggin for iptables that does a reverse DNS lookup on the destination addresses of all outbound packets and then applies a set of rules based on regular expressions to the domain name to determine whether to reject the packet or send it out? For performance such a plugin should do a fair amount of caching, pre-compile the regular expressions and probably be written in C or C++. This project would involve networking and be nontrivial. I'm not sure if it is original, as it seems a natural application for the iptable plugin framework.

I would suggest the best projects are ones that solve something you want solved, that way there's some added motivation to complete it to a decent standard.
