I know, I know. I’ve been lacking updates. I’m so so sorry. I will try to summerize what I’ve been up tp in the past few months.

Up until the middle of March, I’ve been taking care of the last bits of coursework I had to do during my prep phase. And now I’m done with that all together.

I took ML in cysec which was very much aligned to the type of research I do. They try to get around IDS, and I try to get around censorship setup which is pretty much the same idea. I learned so so incredibly much from the course. It was awesome! I then had a block seminar called Routerlab in which I just did very well. It was fun in the sense that we got to touch and use real hardware. We also did so much that I didn’t know much about. Though no mail server for me unfortunately.

I was then approached by a colleague who’s research needed a bit of push to get to the IMC deadline, and we pushed “HARD”. We submitted the paper with so much chaos I would say. But we did it.

Now I wonder, both my research projects that I’ve been working on feel like there are more advanced than what we submitted, then we am I not drafting papers for them?! I will talk to my advisor about this. :)

I also kinda started a new project, or at least we have floated the idea of, which sounds exciting. I would be working with one of my favorite group members. A true nerd! :)

I will try to be more consistant throughout May by providing updates. Please cross your fingers for me! :D
