Goal

Shumgrepper is a web app built on the top of Summershum. Summershum is a project that collects md5sum, sha1sum and sha521sum of every file present in every package. This can be used to check how many packages have the full GPL license, how many files contains a particular hash sum in all Fedora or to check the database in taskotron test, etc. I will develop the web-frontend and json/api for the data generated by summershum. It will integrate most of the features of datagrepper. It will involve UI improvement to it in order to display the data generated by summershum. Apart from this the website will be vulnerable to DDoS attack, it will involve taking appropriate measures to mitigate its effect. Also it contains secure hash keys which needs to be protected.
