Wednesday (5/31)

Thursday (6/1)

Met with Dr. Kaczmarek via teams to discuss Splunk and possible avenues of research
Finished reading the thesis from the day prior
Started Splunk online training

Friday (6/2)

Continued Splunk online training videos
Looked for potential research articles and took note of a few different articles of interest
Read a research article about implementing Splunk Phantom and took notes
- Link to article: https://0-ieeexplore-ieee-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/document/9698447
- Entitled "Methods for Automating Threat Hunting and Response"
- Results of research were not very helpful at all

Monday (6/5)

Tuesday (6/6)

Met with other REU researchers during the collaboration time in the morning
Created the mini presentation for the research paper I read last Friday
Listened to other's present their research findings
Presented mini presentation to the others in my lab group
Researched Bee-Bots and how they are used in computer science education
- Began creating the short presentation for this

Wednesday (6/7)

Finished Bee-Bots presentation and research
Attended the Technical Writing / Good Presentations meeting
Was able to log onto Marquette's Splunk site
- I was able to explore the site and see how it operated
- Also continued to do research into how to best navigate the site
Started to read another research paper (that is hopefully more useful than the last)
- Link to article: https://0-ieeexplore-ieee-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/document/9800787
- Entitled "Threat Modeling and Threat Intelligence System for Cloud using Splunk"
- Seems somewhat helpful, uses Splunk was as a plugin to create something that combines threat modeling and threat intelligence

Thursday (6/8)

Attended a meeting with everyone in my lab group
- Presented my Bee-Bots research
- Listened to other lab member's presentations
- As a group we discussed how we can effectively use what we found in this research to help the teacher's come up with lesson plans to utilize these computer science education tools
Trying to get the free eLearning classes for Splunk
- Just does not want to seem to want to work for me yet, still trying to sort that out
Began looking for more research papers that could potentially be useful

Friday (6/9)

Started reading another research paper
- Link to article: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9752323
- Entitled "Efficient Brute-force handling methodology using Indexed-Cluster Architecture of Splunk"
- Article is fairly useful, and it talks about the capabilities of Splunk and how to perform effective searches
Still trying to figure out how to access the Splunk eLearning classes
- Have been in contact with Marquette's Splunk representative, and it should be sorted out soon

Monday (6/12)

Re-read parts of the research paper I found last week
Created a power point for the short presentation about the research paper tomorrow
Splunk training courses are still not working properly
- Still trying to sort out the problem with Splunk representative
- The issue is that it is not allowing me to access the Splunk eLearning courses with Marquette's access
Continued looking for more academic articles relating to Splunk's cybersecurity capabilities
Explored Marquette's Splunk page
- Read through a few of the suggested readings linked in one of the apps on the Splunk site

Tuesday (6/13)

Met with my lab group for a few hours
- Presented my research findings from the last week
- Listened and engaged with my peer's presentations
- Discussed what was going to happen for the next couple weeks and what needs to be prepared for next week
Continued trying to make Splunk work, but the Splunk representatives are seemingly nonrespondent at the moment :(
Explored Marquette's Splunk page
- Looked into the different apps, and read a few short articles on how to use them
