GSoC 2021 Proposal: Generating Syscall Decoders from Declarative Definitions

About Me My name is Srikavin Ramkumar and I am an undergraduate student at University of Maryland studying Computer Science and Mathematics. Relevant Experiences I have taken courses on Algorithms, Programming Language Theory, and Computer Systems. I am currently taking courses on Databases and Networking. I have written projects for these classes in C, OCaml, and Python, but I can’t share these publicly; if needed, I can send samples. I also participate in cyber security capture-the-flag competitions. Some challenges require reverse engineering and exploiting unknown binaries and kernel drivers. So I am familiar with debugging tools as well as certain aspects of the linux kernel. In 2019, I made contributions to the Fedora Project in the form of writing tests and other tasks as part of Google Code-In.
