Browsing Yahoo Search, I found a link to my research paper that I wrote for my final year. It was a paper and thesis on how to integrate visualization techniques into intrusion detection systems.

Interesting paper to write as it showed how a people digest and process information; different from the ways you would think it would happen. The research certainly wasn’t ground breaking but showed how easy it is to display information that is generally thought of in a textual way into an easy to view format. My interest in information security was sparked from the research into this project which I continue to have. I did get offered a bursary to continue the idea onto a master’s level but turned it down to get some work experience.

I have a copy of the full thesis but this is 100+ pages. If anyone is that interested, please let me know and I’ll pass it on.
