User-friendly Gateway to the IPFS Network. My project acts as a bridge from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, simplifying the complexities of decentralized networks. It offers a service similar to centralized systems, making it more familiar to users. The IPFS gateway allows users to transfer larger files compared to common solutions like messengers or emails and reduces the complexity of sharing over cloud storage. For private sharing, file encryption can restrict unauthorized viewing since IPFS is a public network. Ip-fs.cloud is probably the fastest way to share files between multiple people simultaneously. Users only need to add a file reference to a "Public Wall" for public access. The gateway also supports video streaming directly from the IPFS network, enabling users to upload videos from their phones and play them almost immediately on any HTML5-capable web browser. Apart from simplifying the adoption of distributed networks, this represents a significant technological shift since Web 2.0. Decentralized systems are more efficient, reduce business expenses, and waste less energy due to direct peer-to-peer data transfer, benefiting our ecosystem. IPFS, as a decentralized network with a distributed file system, avoids central choke points. Any node with the content cached can serve it, enabling torrent-like file sharing where peers download files from multiple sources concurrently, speeding up the process.

The aim of this project is to monitor network activities and inform the administrator if any trackable or unexpected events occur. There are three main parts to this project: an application on the computer side, a controller, and a website to display collected data to the administrator. The benefits of such an application are that it can be installed on multiple devices and all collected data can be displayed at a single point (the website). The website can be accessible 24/7 from any part of the globe. All monitored devices are displayed as a list. If a user prefers, email notifications can be sent about events that have occurred. Additionally, users will have some control over remote devices, such as closing applications running on the device and shutting down or restarting computers. An API endpoint will also be provided, so it can be easily integrated into other applications.

Huffman coding is a scheme that assigns variable-length bit-codes (binary strings) to characters, such that the lengths of the codes depend on the frequencies of the characters in a typical message. As a result, encoded messages take less space (as compared to fixed-length encoding such as ASCII or UNICODE) since the letters that appear more frequently are assigned shorter codes. This is performed by first building a Huffman coding Tree based on a given set of frequencies. From the tree, bit-codes for each character are determined and then used to encode a message. The tree is also used to decode an encoded message as it provides a way to determine which bit sequences translate back to a character.
