With 2009 already under-way, progress is happening in my Masters at a steady pace. With just under six months to go until the end of July, my work is in full swing, with a mixture of writing, algorithmic construction, testing and other activities. Over the next month, most of the development work should be completed. This is, of course, somewhat dependant on my teaching not getting too much in the way.

Thereafter, my algorithms and the sfPortscan algorithm from Snort will be tested and statistically analysed. Thereafter, I plan on finalising my write-up and handing in.

In the interim, I have plans to submit papers to several conferences during the course of the year, the first list includes ISSA, RAID, SATNAC, SAICSIT and CISSE (in chronological order of submission dates). I also hope to get a journal article out during the course of the year.

So, onward with 2009…
