This graduation project transforms a personal computer into a dynamic router using Access Points (APs) with the Create_AP tool, leveraging Linux commands, DNSMasq (DNS Masquerade), and HostAPD (Host Access Point Daemon). Objective: The overall objective of this project is to extend the computer’s utility beyond traditional networking setups and enhance routing capabilities. Problem: This project addresses the need for seamless Access Point (AP) generation and robust client monitoring. Method: Create_AP is the key to facilitating seamless Access Point (AP) deployment. It offers a straightforward configuration for HostAPD and DNSMasq, making the process effortless and
user-friendly. With its support for Linux commands and monitoring tools, Create_AP allows for a thorough understanding of client behavior. Result: By including DNSMasq as a DNS server, the project is able to significantly improve its ability to resolve domains and facilitate routing. This includes the addition of domain filtering, giving users the power to block any unwanted domains directly from their router.
Conclusion: By actively blocking malicious domains, we not only improve the overall security of our network, but also give our users a greater sense of control. Our innovative approach to networking involves creating Access Points, monitoring clients, and implementing domain filtering within a Linux environment, ultimately leading to a more robust and personalized networking environment. This project showcases our commitment to providing an empowered and secure networking experience.
