Building Attack-Resistant P2P Networks and Persistent AI Assistants

This work demonstrates critical progress in two emerging areas: ensuring peer-to-peer networks can withstand coordinated attacks through rigorous simulation of adversarial conditions, and improving AI coding assistants with session persistence that maintains context across development sessions. As decentralized systems become foundational to Web3 infrastructure and AI tools proliferate in the developer toolkit, both network resilience and user experience improvements are essential for moving from experimental projects to production-grade systems. The comprehensive engineering approach—from low-level TCP handling to high-level user experience—shows what's needed to build systems that are both trustworthy and enjoyable to use.
