In our recent dashboard update to Dashboard version 5.5, we’ve focused on enhancing the functionality of our attack classification system. By utilizing better backend information, we aim to improve the accuracy of attack detection. We’ve also introduced a small ID for each log, simplifying tracking, and added a resolve function. This feature provides users with predefined steps to address alerts efficiently. Additionally, users now have the option to delete resolved logs, reducing clutter on the dashboard. Our next steps in version 5.6 will involve implementing USB insertion and removal detection, followed by printer monitoring functionalities.

CC: Added potential attack and added a function to either resolve or delete the logs.

In the past week, our team has made great progress in terms of getting our project done. We made a working user-friendly dashboard design where the information is no longer cluttered up together. It accepts all incoming logs and labels them as alerts accordingly with the level of threat with it. We also managed to provide a small blurb of information of the event that is being registered to the system so the user knows which actions need to be taken to mitigate the situation at hand.

Overall, this is our first integrated design and we hope to further improve it soon by adding more features or a better presentation of information to the users.

Priority Dashboard-01

Presenting you: Team Splunkernauts after weeks of preparations from over the winter break to yesterday. We presented our progress to the judges about the ongoing project. We did a great job presenting our work.

Today the team Splunkernaut had the opportunity to finally meet their new coach Cheryl Resch. We met in the new data science building, Malachowsky hall. We discussed our expectations from each other and the goals for the semester!

Last month, all five members of team Splunkernaut and their sponsors were featured all over IPPD social media including Instagram and Facebook. We were glad to have been featured on the IPPD page and hope to be featured again with our completed project!

Today, we would like to give a throwback to Splunkernauts’ members meeting each other for the first time. Our biggest struggle that day was remembering each other’s name and we found common ground with the Database course that we all were coincidentally taking.

Today, team Splunkernaut finally got to hold their in-person meeting at, a long long-awaited location, The Hatchery. We have gotten ourselves a head start on our project and we are currently working on researching the remainder of our project to prepare for the QRB 1 next week.

Team Splunkernauts officially fully reunites after a long separation due to the winter break. Unfortunately, we lost one important team member over the break: our coach, Ann, but we look forward to adjusting our schedules with our new coach Cheryl Resch. (Also peep Alec’s reflection in the screen)

After a restful break, the Splunkernauts have returned to continue bettering our nation’s cyber defenses! (teehee). While a weather surprise prevented the full reunion of the team this week, we are fired up and ready to start this semester off on strong footing. Fortunately, little can keep the Splunkernauts from triumph! Over the break, members of Splunkernauts dedicated time nearly daily to learning different red and blue team strategies, and have drafted some Splunk queries to detect different events. We are eager to implement them and update you all on our progress.
