DefScan

Project Won 2nd Place at HackNC

We are an all-freshman team from University of North Carolina at Charlotte.We started out with an idea to help people keep their information safe from 3rd party threats for free. We then decided on what the back-end should do and created a website and themed it to look like the idea we first thought of.

Some Challenges we ran into were text boxes not being centered, python web server not being compatible with some html application. Since we ran into python flask issues we were not able to implement some other html files we created for the website.

We came up with the idea of doing a project that was cyber security related. The project you see here was created in 24 hours at HackNC. For front-end development we used mostly html5, css, jquery, and JavaScript. For the back-end we used python and flask. We also implemented a google maps API to explain why Cyber security is a top priority in today's world.

We are very proud of this project because everyone put in their best effort to make it fully functional. We learned how to play on each others strengths and how to communicate effectively in a short amount of time. A lot of work was tedious ,but all of us got great on hand experience and enjoyed the struggles that came with it.

I worked on the backend of the website using python and flask. I also was the one that configured the server itself to run python scripts and to continously keep running.

I helped with the front-end in html and css with text boxes and colors. I also implemented the google maps API that is shown on the main page with some Java Script and html. I also helped with setting up the VPS server to receive the host file.
