I notice in your other replies you have several interview questions that seem to be targeted at previous experience. What kind of side projects, cybersecurity or just programming related, do you find the most appealing in a candidate?

I love to hear about the tools people have created. There is almost always a good story about a problem and a solution.

However, this is not really what I mean. If you are interviewing for a role in software security, you should be current on the industry and ready to talk sources and research. At a minimum, you should have areas of interest that you are passionate about discussing, even if you are still ignorant about the deep details.

You wont do well if security is something you only do 9-5, but I don't want you working for me after hours.

I think I've got a good example of a tool that I created that comes with a good story about a problem and a solution. Would love your feedback as I'm a recent CS grad struggling along.
