“Packets in Packets: Orson Welles’ In-Band Signaling Attacks for Modern Radios” marks my first paper in a truly peer-reviewed publication. This was written thanks to some great collaboration with Travis Goodspeed as well as Sergey Bratus, Ricky Melgares, and Rebecca Shapiro in the Dartmouth Trust Lab.

GoodFET Development on Tmote Sky/TelosB (CC2420 Radio)

As part of my thesis research on 802.15.4 wireless sensor networks, I have recently become a developer on the GoodFET project. This project was started by Travis Goodspeed and “is an open-source JTAG adapter, loosely based upon the TI MSP430 FET UIF and EZ430U boards.” However, as you will see, it has grown into so much more. I started working on the GoodFET CCSPI (ChipCon SPI Flash) client and firmware which Travis had started to support the Tmote Sky and TelosB branded sensor boards.

Journal Article Published

Last winter, I wrote a research paper with my classmate Evan Tice ’09 studying the security of computing resources at Dartmouth College. It was very interesting to write, and thanks to Computing Services, we were able to study security logs and do some of our own analysis on the systems to supplement the publicly available information.
A sanitized form of our paper has been published in the Fall 2009 issue of the Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science, and you can read it online here. For ease of reading, I have also posted it in the original PDF format, formatted by LaTeX.
