Audio

2009/11/19: Secrets of World-Class Software Organizations, by Steve McConnell, author of Code Complete. A discussion of best practices for software development, based on hundreds of consulting engagements around the world. A bit noisy, but still audible. (AAC: 1 hour, 19 minutes)
2009/10/28: Building Services at Scale, a talk by Facebook VP of Engineering Mike Schroepfer. Given in the JBL lounge of the Experience Music Project. Recording starts about 10 minutes into the almost two-hour talk. (AAC: 1 hour, 46 minutes)

Papers/Presentation Notes

2010/03: Atoms > Bits. Talk from Ignite Seattle 9 about a project to help people with cerebral palsy use computers. A video of the talk is available on YouTube.
2009/12: High-Speed Intrusion Detection: A New Paradigm is Needed. Master's thesis, supervised by Professor Nikita Boriov.
2008/09: High-Speed Matching of Vulnerability Signatures, a RAID 2008 paper by Nabil Schear, Prof. Nikita Borisov (my academic adviser), and me.
2008/05: Beyond the Barrel: Investing the New Petrodollar Wealth, a term paper written for Klaus Desmet's International Economics course (ECON 420). As I completed the paper, The Economist went to press with a cover feature which drew many of the same conclusions as my work.
2008/05: Opening Sealed Envelopes, a term presentation given for Prof. Constantine Polychronopoulos's ECE 598, on high-speed protocol classification. I especially like the BLINC work cited in the presentation.
2007/12: Cashing 0ut, an unpublished term paper for a course in computer security (ECE 424). The paper offers a look at the underground market for stolen personal data, e.g. credit cards and social security numbers. The work was inspired by similar work done at ICIR to understand underground economies.
2007/12: Database Systems (CS411) Final Project Report (unpublished manuscript). Offers a look as using Catalyst, a Perl-based MVC framework for web application development. In general, we had a good experience with it, but it would have been a lot easier to complete the project using a better-supported framework.
2005/12: Engineering Law (GE 400) AMD v. Intel: American Antitrust Law in the 21st Century, an investigation into some of the legal issues in the 2005 AMD lawsuit against Intel. I put this up after a similar suit was filed in New York in 2009.

Tools

2009/11/24: dns-thrash, a tool I wrote in C to make really hard-to-parse DNS packets. It was written for Mac OS X, but should be pretty portable (can't vouch for Windows). The tool contains relatively clean implementations of byte-level IP and DNS packet construction, UDP and IP checksumming, the Box-Mueller normal transform, and writing packets into a libpcap trace. Compile with the command "gcc -o dns-thrash -lpcap dns-thrash.c".
