Statement of Intent

One of my goals is to create affordable tools that allows people without a technical background to work with network attached devices in a security minded way. This will always be influenced by the work I am around and my personal background. I have already created one tool that passively gathers network device IP addresses. I will continue down that road to make more features and functionality while keeping it as simple as possible.

Objective 1

Create a network infrastructure design communications document that includes identified hardware components, connections to outside world, identified physical layer connectivity (media) and addressing, including operational and security components in the design.

Objective 2

Install, configure and test security hardware and software tools with supporting documentation such as port scanners, vulnerability detection systems, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, system hardening, anti-virus tools, patch management, auditing and assessment.

Objective 3

Construct, implement and document a script or a program to automate a securityrelated process or other tasks such as installation, administration, management, mapping resources, logon scripts, patch management, updates, auditing, analysis and assessment.

Objective 4

Create a policy or procedure that addresses events such as: a disaster recovery plan, a business continuity plan, an incident response policy, an acceptable usage document, an information security policy, a physical security policy, assessments or troubleshooting procedures.

Objective 5

Develop a research report or implementation plan concerning legal and ethical best practices and mandated requirements that pertain to information security.

Objective 6

Research, document, test and evaluate several current industry information security based threats, risks, malicious activities, covert methodology, encryption technologies, mitigation techniques or unconventional tactics to prevent loss of sensitive information and data confidentiality, integrity and availability.
