Situation
A US based startup company in the domain of network security developed
an innovative application using intelligent malware behavior based analysis
The features of network security application’s background service were
accessible only via console on Linux
Harbinger Solution
Developed custom frameworks and API’s resulting in considerable
reduction in development time
Implemented a multi threaded component which can perform a simple yet
robust communication with the console. Architected a batch wise
configuration update mechanism which can intelligently modify config
commands to avoid lengthy application restarts.
Bean categorization carried out based on spring profiles at application
startup. The platform switches implementations based on the underlying
operating system.
Utilized file system call-backs and mapped the new events with old ones to
avoid duplicate events and sent them to Syslog swiftly via RFC 3164 format
Elevation of permissions at the native level and invoked using Java Native
Interface
Technologies & Tools
Java
Spring Framework
Python
Bash
AWK and SED
Benefits
Customer is able to leverage first mover advantage resulting in early ROI. Customer
could achieve around 60% reduction of developer’s time for implementing validations.
Seamless conversion of Console application to web over Windows and Linux with
improved performance
Customer able to capture wider market share by application’s multiple OS support
Instantaneous mitigation of the problem by system administrator
Ensured better system stability and security
BOTTOM LINE
A secure web based middleware was
developed to access host platform and
services of the console.
Challenge
Develop a middleware with a quick turnaround
to align with aggressive marketing strategies
Need for a REST based interface for data
consumption by 3rd party apps and platforms
Ease of portability from Linux to Windows is of
prime concern
Instant reporting of events over TCP
Elevating and de-elevating user privileges as
required at run time
CSH
Tomcat
Xstream and Jackson
JSON Serialization
