Lassonde Security - Hack-Lassonde-2019-Submission

Inspiration

Took on the Transcore challenge.

What it does

• Stores users Mac Address, checks for VPN's and enables two-factor authentication (using text) for utmost security for the Transcore's software licence.

How we built it

• We used Python and custom modules to be able to check the Mac Address.
• We utilized a VPN checker API.
• We also utilized the Twillo API given by the Lassonde team to enable two factor authentication.

Challenges we ran into

• We were having difficulty using Flask to put the back-end development on a web-page. We overcame this by creating a prototype website and the back-end separately.
• We also had errors with some API's and not working fully.
• We had to do intensive research to learn new methods to making the program better.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Fully functional Mac Address identifier.
• Fully functional Two-Factor Authentication
• Created a JSON Database for storing account information.
• Put an idea into place that solves the issue efficiently.

What we learned

• We learned new security methods such as Mac Address detection.
• We learned Javascript in the seminar.
• We were able to self-learn Flask for web development.
• We learned how to use some newer API's and custom modules.
• Better team working skills.
