Following on from yesterday's post about the recent graphics programming assignment done by my first-year students, it is worth noting that one of our students was adventurous enough to implement something other than a game.
Alex Hawdon wrote a very interesting program that invokes p0f to analyse incoming attempts to establish TCP connections with your machine, interprets IP addresses using a GeoIP database and then serves up the results as a KML file over HTTP - the latter then being monitored via Google Earth, of course. The net result: a 3D, real-time visualisation of attempted hacks against your machine.
