Current projects

A couple of people have asked me if I am working on any more of the hardening guides like what I have done in the past for the Linksys BEFW11S4 or WRT54G, or at least will be updating these. Admittedly those guides are beginning to show their age and could use an update, but unfortunately I have bigger fish to fry first.

I have just cleared a couple of SANS projects and have just started into a project on a presentation and paper currently dubbed "Botnets for Dummys". I am not sure what it will look like, or when it will be available, but hopefully before the end of November. I am also working on getting a version of the Nepenthes medium interaction honeypot and some related perl code going on CentOS as a prototype worm detection project and hopefully a paper. Unfortunately, it seems everyone in the world can get Nepenthes working except me!!! The little time I have spent on it has been frustrating, but I expect if I dedicated some time to it the obstacles would fall pretty fast.

Anyone who has any opinions or approaches for these projects please feel free to contact me.

Have a great weekend!
Rick
