Data-Lock

Inspiration

My inspiration for this project came after studying cybersecurity and how the average user who wants a computer as a helping hand can become a disaster.

What it does

My app checks the things that an average user does not know or probably doesn't want to get into, checking unknown processes, suspicious files, network security, and whether your data is safe.

How we built it

I used Python and PowerShell scripting with Windows API to make this happen

Challenges we ran into

The challenge I ran was making the PS scripts that could find the malicious files as it was impossible to go directly to this, making my app stuck to the Windows platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of an app that can detect and warm malicious files without spending 100s of bucks each month on third-party antivirus or giving up their resources to chunky software.

What we learned

I learned to use regex expressions, make queries, and write ps1 scripts.

What's next for Data-Lock

I want it to integrate with AI, which can check the names of files and processes and compare them with its data. Moreover, I want to check whether the firewall settings are robust. I also wish to add a good UI.
