Worked on the SophiaMontenegro/CS4311_TRACE_Alpha_Spring2025 repository to enhance the IntruderTool by adding support for attacking HTML forms, JSON APIs, and URL-encoded data, introducing new attack methods and refining URL parsing and error handling. Addressed a bug to ensure error length logging accurately reflects failed request outputs, improving reliability in security testing workflows. Integrated a manual testing URL into the validation script to streamline test execution. Leveraged Python for backend development, API interaction, and automated testing, focusing on expanding testing coverage and reducing debugging time. The work demonstrated a methodical approach to security tooling and commit-driven development.
