"South East Queensland koalas are currently undergoing a major population decline. Data on major causes of koala disease or injury has been collected, but no detailed epidemiological studies on morbidity and mortality exist. Additionally, a lack of standardised pathological analysis and scientific data management procedures to compile and analyse disease and mortalities, are major constraints on... Continue Reading →
I tracked malicious IPs that were attempting to connect to our system located in Melbourne, Australia. I then traced the route back to the source IP address and geolocated each of the "hops" that malware likely traveled through. This method is indicative and subject to various caveats, however it is interesting as a conceptual level... Continue Reading →

https://vimeo.com/19997906 Through support of the Honeynet Project, I attempted a new visualization approach with the aim of showing the scale of a typical attack on a VOIP server on the internet in an engaging way. With the increase in popularity of VOIP telephony, attacks are becoming more prevalent. The compromise of a VOIP system can... Continue Reading →
https://vimeo.com/16152832 I wanted to find some interesting analog data which could be collected and analyzed quickly, and for this analysis to produce reasonably useful real-world output. Well, I didn't have to look much further than the humble computer input device, the mouse (or in this case, a trackpad. All recordable by-products like IOGraph). The goal... Continue Reading →
