A presentation on the basic principles of my active response research.

The design and feasibility report for a new attack/defend computer security lab at the University of Idaho.

The RADICL network security lab 1. Focuses on teaching an attack philosophy and methodology using network security tools and attack scripts.

The RADICL network security lab 2. Focuses on teaching network level security with packet crafting and Snort IDS.

A presentation on the technical concerns of active response -- how one would actually implement active response.

Class midterm

The final project of the class: I used competitive co-evolution to produce active defense strategies.
The Code(.tar)

We implemented discovering a key for a simple substitution cipher with a genetic algorithm; this is the report for the experiment.
The Code(.tar)

We implemented and experimented with a GA to solve the all one's problem; this is the report for the experiment.
The Code(.tar)

We implemented and experimented with three mutation of a basic local search algorithm; this is the report for the experiment.

A presentation of my paper on the same issues.

A reference guide to important legal definitions for the Criminal Law Perspectives of Contemporary Issues in Computer Security Presentation.

Paper in support of my directed study credits. Discusses the criminal statutes with regard to contemporary security issues such as hacking, active defense, and vulnerability publication.

Presentation on Security and Privacy Issues with regard to HCI. 3/30/04

First paper of the semester, describes how ubiquitous computing has evolved since 1980 and where it will be in 2020.

Describes and analyzes technology portrayed in the movie, "Minority Report" (2002).

Final paper discusses the elements of the interface for the Interface Designer tool of Shuttle Commander.

My graduate term paper for the course, on honeypots. Discusses the purpose, uses, and types of honeypots as well as the honeynet project at the University of Idaho.

We had to track an email that was sent to us and conclude whether the email was real or not.

Given some data about an intrusion we had to come to conclusions about the nature of the intrusion, and the possible motives of the perpetrator.

This lab was to teach us how to use evidence tags and chain of custody forms.

This lab gave us experience with collecting digital evidence from a running machine (live data).

Used John the Ripper to crack a NetBSD password file.

Created a forensic duplicate of a floppy diskette and then analyzed the files - searching for evidence of a crime.

Our group researched and created a digital evidence gathering procedure for law enforcement.

Our group researched worms, and detailed the Blaster Worm specifically.

Project 1, our group tested multiple firewalls for intrusion detection stopping protection - this is our experiment write-up

My portion of a group presentation on active defense - my part is regarding the risks of active defense.
