Patil College of Engineering Akurdi, Pune pranjdb@gmail.com, Sujit.korade91@gmail.com, latanagalapur07@gmail.com, rakeshshinde6@gmail.com A B S T R A C T Nowadays, android smart phones have grown significantly in terms of both processing and user interface which will satisfy the demands of user that can be available at everywhere at every time simultaneously. Hence, demanding the need for everywhere present simultaneous applications to be deployed in a android smart phone. In this paper we explain how a remote desktop as well as remote LAN network can be access, monitor and control using android smart phone, when user or administrator is not present at work place. This application is installed on android smart phone that connected to desktop or server through GPRS, user can on/off the system by GSM kit and access necessary data from the system. Administrator can perform various operation on client machines such as controlling processes, installation, opening URL etc. from remote location. Security problem is tackled by providing authentication and authorization for user. The current market scenario makes it necessary to handle the workload of the company from anywhere irrespective of the distance is possible only by using this application. Index Terms - Android, GPRS, GSM modem, Desktop, LAN. I. INTRODUCTION These days, smart phones have grown significantly in terms of both processing and user interface which will satisfy the demands of user that can be available at everywhere at every time simultaneously. Hence, demanding the need for everywhere present simultaneous applications to be deployed in a smart phone. The idea of using the mobile handsets and smart phones are to deliver the valuable services except the basic communication. In a concern, computers are grouped together to form a network. To manage and control the activities of the network while in office is an easy task. But, while you are outstation away from office, how do you go about with monitoring and controlling of network? Instead of depending on third party information, you can always have your Cell Phone serve the purpose. The interaction between the clients and the remote administrator is achieved via a central monitoring server. The main objective of this paper is to provide maximum details about the network to the administrator on their android phones, when administrator is away from office or goes out station. With the help of GSM kit at desktop and through Web Services using GPRS, administrator can access the desktop or server on Android based smart phones so that user will be able to do associated task. Accessing of desktop and LAN with the help of internet or GPRS. Here we are using the GSM modem to ON and OFF the desktop or the Server. Main focus of our paper is accessing, monitoring and controlling of desktop with the help of android phone over the wide range. The Desktop is continuously monitored 20 2015, IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved www.ijafrc.org
and the image of desktop is transferred to the android phone so as to show the current status of the desktop and also the status of the client which is connected to the server. The status of the system or client is used to perform the related task. In any circumstances this idea is more reliable, Portable and easy to communicate. The goal of this project is to maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability of the network infrastructure and information assets. II. RELATED WORK There has been a lot of technical research related to the accessing desktop and LAN on smart phones. A. Accessing Desktop In earlier research accessing the desktop was done using a VNC architecture and GSM Modem. This works in limited area means in Wi-Fi network. So there is major problem that is area of accessing the desktop. It provide a very less functions such as capturing image, keyboard shot cuts,mouse operations and application shortcuts. There is another problem that is security, it provide a very less security. B. Accessing LAN Accessing the LAN can be done using a VNC architecture and GSM Modem. The GSM modem system can control and monitor network by sending messages from anywhere from outside the server room. Admin sends his request through SMS using his cell phone via GSM modem to the control monitoring server. The VNC architecture is implemented only within the Wi-Fi network so there is a area limitation for accessing and monitoring the LAN, also it works on only Linux operating system. III. PROPOSED SYSTEM In Previous system there were many disadvantages such as limitation in accessing area, cost of SMS, security of system. Such problems are tackled by this paper. Our application will work in irrespective of distance, reduce cost of SMS as well as provide high security for system. In our proposed system we are going to develop an integrated software solution that allows a network administrator to remotely monitor his single desktop or LAN by his android smart phone. The interaction between the clients and the wireless media happens through this server. So we are implementing a new idea in which single desktop or LAN network accessing, monitoring and control using android smart phone. In this application the smart phone is connected to the server through GPRS. We are using OTP (i.e. One Time Password) for user authentication. Only authorized user can access the system. To ON/OFF remote system we use GSM kit. A. Basic Architecture Whenever user wants to access the desktop or server he will send request to GSM kit to ON the system using IP address of it. Once the system is ON, user will connect to that system through internet. For secure connection we are using Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Algorithm to securely exchange keys between both parties so that intruder who intercepts network communications cannot easily guess or decode the secret key that is required to decrypt communications. Now user will able to access that system with the help of JSON RPC which call the remote procedure and perform associated task. 21 2015, IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved www.ijafrc.org
Figure 1. Basic Architecture B. System Architecture In below architecture, there is LAN network and single desktop. Android smart phone able to connected to both systems, but at a time only one system connection will active. Through android smart phone user will able to perform following operation on system. 1. Net View: Admin able to view list of clients in LAN and their work. 2. Process List: Get the list of all the processes running in remote machine. 3. Active Process: Activate different processes in either the server machine or any of the Client s. 4. Kill Process: The desired processes in either the server or clients. 5. Open Application: We can open any application installed on remote system. 6. Broadcast Messages: Broadcast messages to clients. 7. Shut Down / Restart / Logoff: The client machines through Mobile. 8. Screen Shots: Gives screen shots of the desktop of the selected client machine on Server Machine. 9. Software Installation: Admin will able to install software on client machine through mobile. 10. Opening URL: Admin will open URL on client machine through mobile. 11. Data Access : User able to access, modify the data through mobile 12. Data Transfer: User able to transfer the data to server and client's machine. 22 2015, IJAFRC and NCRTIT 2015 All Rights Reserved www.ijafrc.org
Figure 2. System Architecture IV. CONCLUSION In this paper we actually access, monitor and control the desktop and LAN at remote location using internet or GPRS. The data stored at the specific location on the remote desktop can be accessed on the android phone. The screen is captured in the form of image and displayed to the user on his or her android phone. The server has to the authorization to access and monitor the client which is very well handled on the android phone. The GSM modem plays an important role in switching the desktop ON and OFF with the help of text message. This application will be mainly used in Office and University so as to monitor and control the user which is connected in LAN. V.
