Labs

• For the labs, during quarantine I explored the labs of topics I was unfamiliar with. I had much experience in raspberry pi's and IoT such as cloud based computing and tensorflow. Some labs I was unable to complete due to not having all the necessary components. The labs I want to highlight are lab 3, 5, 9, and 10.

Lab 3

• In this lab, we explored running simple python scripts from the pi. Below are some screenshots of those examples.

Lab 5

• In this lab, crossbar.io server was implemented with docker

Lab 9

• In this lab, we used YANG (Yet Another Next Generation) to do intrusion detection. The figure below was generated after performing the lab

Lab 10

• In this lab, we experimented with blockchain, hosting our own server, and then mining a block.
