 The best projects show you can both research and build. Consider: Building an AI model for detecting novel network intrusions. Analyzing vulnerabilities in a specific IoT or industrial protocol (like MQTT or Modbus). Implementing a blockchain-based system for verifying software updates. Creating a new tool for automated penetration testing or phishing analysis. Aim for a topic where you can develop a proof-of-concept and then critically evaluate its effectiveness and limitations.
