Login Monitoring System

ABSTRACT:

Network security is the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network administrator and protecting the computer systems in the network from unwanted intrusions. Users are assigned with their credentials that allow them access to information and applications within their authority. A number of monitoring software is available these days. In these software’s the desktop of the staff/student machines is monitored using admin login. The login and logout time of the staff/student is not recorded. The software’s that are used for monitoring is expensive. The system is developed with the aim to overcome the drawbacks of the existing applications. The Staff can access the server system by using their credentials. The staff can create the student’s account by providing credentials which is done by uploading student details in the server. The credentials in the database are used for student login. When the student logs in; their login details will be stored in the database which can be used for attendance generation. The admin system will be shutdown automatically if it is idle for certain amount of time. The performance of the admin system can be analyzed by using the log file generated in the server.

PROJECT OUTPUT VIDEO:

EXISTING SYSTEM:

The existing system uses a client server implementation model where one system acts as a server and all other acts as a client. The server and client systems are accessed by the staff and the students respectively by using their credentials respectively. The student’s login details are recorded in the database which is further used for attendance generation. Thestudents system can be viewed in the server. Files can be shared to the students from the server.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

The staff cannot know which system is used by a particular student as the IP address of the student’s system is not recorded. The login and logout time of the students are not recorded. The student account is created manually by the staff. The screen capture of client systems is done without displaying the user name of the student who uses the system. The Client system performance is not analyzed.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The proposed system is designed as a computerized one with security features ensured where one PC in the lab acts as a server and others act as a client. The Staff can access the server system by using their credentials. The staff can store the student’s details in the database by uploading an excel sheet in the server. The credentials in the database are used for student login. When the student logs in; their details such as id, name, department, year, login time, logout time, IP address and laboratory name are automatically fetched by the server and it will be stored in the database which can be used for attendance generation. Thestudent desktop along with the username can be viewed by the staff from the server. The client system will be shutdown automatically if it is idle for certain amount of time. The performance of the client system can be analyzed by using the log file generated in the server when the student login.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In this system each schedule can be tracked from the start till the end of the Project cycle.
User friendliness is provided in the application with various controls.
The system makes the overall project management much easier and flexible.
Readily uploads the latest updates and allows users to interact.
There is no risk of data mismanagement at any level while the project is being developed.
It provides a high level of security with different levels of authentication.
