Research



Our research has a broad reach as it brings together multiple
disciplines to gain a deeper understanding of how our security is
influenced physically, culturally, socially, and psychologically. We
cover all aspects of security and how they interconnect from physical
to the wireless spectrum and includes privacy, trust, vulnerabilities,
and attacks. Our goal to make sense of security.

OSSTMM

The Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual is a complete methodology for penetration and security testing, security analysis and the measurement of operational security towards building the best possible security defenses for your organization.


RAV Calculator

A calculation sheet to simplify making ravs, the standard security metrics for measuring the Attack Surface of anything. It's necessary for completing the STAR.





STAR Sheet

The Security Test Audit Report (STAR) is a standardized summary of the results of a security or penetration test providing precise calculations of the Attack Surface, details of what was tested and how, and indemnification for testing organization. The STAR is required when OSSTMM certifying the security of an organization.

Hacker Highschool

 Today's teens are in a world with major communication and productivity channels open to them and they don't have the knowledge to defend themselves against the fraud, identity theft, privacy leaks and other attacks made against them just for using the Internet. This is the main reason for Hacker Highschool. Therefore, in HHS you will find lessons on utilizing Internet resources safely such as web privacy, chat, mobile computing, and social networks.

HHS

About

Hacker Highschool (HHS) is an ever-growing collection of cybersecurity lessons towards a full curriculum written specifically for teens from 12 - 20 years old and covering subjects that are timely, interesting, and important for teen cybersafety. 




Lessons

Each HHS lesson is designed as self-contained learning, no teaching required. Why? Because hacking is about discovery and that needs to be learned, not taught. The lessons are all written in a fun narrative and promote good moral behavior, resourcefulness, technical know-how, and empathy.


Teachers

 In HHS you will find lessons on that teach teens on how to utilize Internet resources safely and so much more. Prepare teens for the field of cybersecurity. Let teens explore what it means to be a hacker in a positive way where they learn creativity, problem-solving, overcoming failure, researching new ideas, and other skills they can immediately apply in all facets of their lives.

Invisibles

Music to live by. Original instrumental music for focus, sleep, and anxiety relief — not algorithmic filler. 

This project researches the effects of ambient sound environments on attention and rest. Two complete albums released so far: Heavy Sleep for sleep through noisy environments, and The Logical Flight for deep focus during writing, study, and analytical work. 

Background

Composed, not generated. Professional musicians and a neuro-research team build each album from sound templates that specify the frequencies, rhythms, beats, compositions, styles, and aural distribution techniques known to support specific cognitive states — deep focus, sleep through noise, anxiety relief. Every track is original work.

Objective

Real, practical use cases: open-plan offices where background chatter destroys concentration; insomnia from anxiety; ADHD focus needs; studying through noisy environments; writing and analytical work that require sustained attention. Designed as a professionally-produced alternative to lo-fi beats, white noise, and generative-AI ambient music.

Process

Meta-research across cognitive science, audiology, and music theory drives the sound templates — frequency masking for chatter, non-repetitive composition for attention, controlled spectral shape for sleep. Templates are then handed to professional composers who write original music that fits the spec. The result is testable: each release is evaluated against the intended cognitive effect before publication.

Cybersecurity Playbook

The Open Source Cybersecurity Playbook is a guide written for IT professionals to understand how and what towards building security. Ideal for the SME (small and medium enterprise) with a focused, complete, customizable IT security plan for protecting against cyber attacks and data theft. 

Playbook

Jack of All Trades

The Jack of All Trades (JAT) is a way to exercise the mind and explain security concepts in real world ways through different jobs people are already familiar with. The JAT can be used to interview new security professionals, teach people to be better security professionals, or just complement creative, security problem solving in a work environment.
