Honours Project Update Week 5

Practical and Evaluation Methods

  • Research, analyse and document the current use of neural networks in the Cyber security sector.
  • Design a useful offensive security tool using neural networks.
  • Create it: Model and program the neural network then train it using rented cloud servers / GPU cluster.
  • Test and evaluate it against popular wargame/CTF simulations.

Extra Information

  • Keeping it small. The goal is not to create a entire suite but rather a small useful tool that could be added to our repository.
  • Depending on the intended purpose of the tool finding a dataset to train it might be difficult and will possibly be a determining factor.
  • Will be using Google’s TensorFlow rather than Torch etc
