I'm happy to discuss cyber security project ideas. I only take challenging research focused projects. Possible project ideas include:
- Looking at Windows kernel security, game cheats and anti-cheat systems.
- How best to do phishing attack education.
- Building educational cyber security games in unreal engine.
- Looking at the security of two factor authentication apps.
- Building some good MITM network software.
- The security of industrial control systems, particularly analysis and/or simulation of attacks. We have a big lab with ICS kit which is a good target to find new vulnerabilities.
- An analysis of Rail Safety incidents, to see which are IT related.
- Automated testing the security of EMV bank cards.
- Binary analysis and finding vulnerabilities using symbolic execution.
The students who I supervise are part of a good tradition; see my academic genealogy for details.
