[linux] Survey: Interactive Network Incident Response Toolkit

[Kolbe Kegel]

My name is Kolbe Kegel and I’m an undergraduate in the Information 
School’s Informatics program. I’m working with a partner on a project 
that will serve as our Capstone, and we’re calling it the “Interactive 
Network Incident Response Toolkit”. The Toolkit will be a bootable 
CD-ROM that can be used to collect network information, provide an 
analysis of that information, and prepare the information to be 
transferred to network security professionals for further analysis.

I’m writing to this mailing list for input in the initial phase of the 
project. We have developed a short survey, and we would be very 
grateful if you would consider filling it out to give us an idea of 
what end users would expect of this type of application. The survey is 
available at http://students.washington.edu/kolbe/inirt/survey/ and 
we’d like to get your feedback as soon as possible, please no later 
than next Wednesday, January 21. Your responses will be completely 
anonymous, and no information that you provide in the survey will be 
linked to your identity in any way.

We’re also planning on conducting several interviews with individuals 
who have varying levels of network security expertise. Whether you have 
experience administering computer networks but don’t have extensive 
experience with network security tools and incident response, or you 
have experience with large scale incident response, we would be 
interested in hearing from you and conducting a short interview with 
you to hear about your thoughts and experiences with network incident 
response. If you’re interested in the interview but not the survey, 
please send a message to kolbe+inirt at u.washington.edu

Again, the survey is available at 
http://students.washington.edu/kolbe/inirt/survey/ and a response by 
Wednesday, January 21 would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
