    Description/Abstract:
    Starting a food producing garden should be easier to do successfully. Getting data related to your specific gardening conditions can be time consuming and tedious for the average person who does not have any gardening experience. In 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, there has been an increase in food insecurities for people because of grocery supply chain fulfillment concerns. A simple yet shocking Google trends search for terms like “how to start a garden”, “food shortage”, and “food insecurity” since 2004 in the US have more than doubled in March of 2020 alone, during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. A search for “garden apps” has also shown more than double the interest in the same time frame on average. People want and need to grow their food to reduce their food anxieties. Having an alternative food source can also reduce national food-related supply chain disruptions caused by climate change, natural disasters, or even global pandemics. STEMMED Gardens was created to make gardening easier by crowdsourcing scientific data and real-life gardening success and failures. We created an iOS and Android application with an Azure based backend for users to be able to plan, maintain, troubleshoot, and share those gardening experiences. New and experienced users can easily retrieve and identify plant information and gardening techniques that can be used in each stage of their personal food garden journey.

  • Phishy

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Phishy is a service intended for security administrators in order to allow them to launch several simultaneous, simulated phishing campaigns to gauge and improve the phishing awareness of employees within their organization. With our service, we want to take security awareness training to the next level. We designed Phishy to help combat the major phishing problem companies face today and to help better educate employees on the dangers of phishing. Currently, there is not an open-source platform that acts as a “one stop shop” for managing phishing campaigns and users’ phishing awareness training. Phishy fills this need by helping its users launch realistic phishing campaigns, utilizing WGET to clone websites in order to create realistic phishing situations. Along with giving users the ability to create practical phishing training for their organization, live visual and data analytics will be provided with tools such as Elasticsearch and Kibana. Since we know how busy security professionals are, it would be unlikely that each user who falls for a phishing simulation would be able to receive security training catered to what phishing tactic they fell for. Phishy has the ability to track which users are falling for which phishing scams and enroll them into specific phishing awareness training based on their interactions with the phishing simulation. Our hope is that Phishy will provide security professionals with a comprehensive tool that will allow them to better train and prepare their organization against the dangers of phishing

    Description/Abstract:
    As of 2019, it was estimated that over 21 million people in the United States go without reliable Internet connectivity (Winslow, 2019). The Internet is integral to everyday life now more than ever; many relying heavily on it for conducting work, obtaining an education, and maintaining communications. Because of these benefits and reliance, it is essential for anyone to have access to the Internet when it is needed, especially in cases of emergency. However, many people do not have the financial resources or technical know-how to stay connected. Our PANIK Guide hopes to help solve this issue by providing a user-friendly approach to setting up an inexpensive mesh network that can be used to help provide this access in areas and times where Internet connection is needed most. PANIK Kits are an affordable, easy to set up, quickly deployable approach to help connect those who are in most need of these resources.

    Description/Abstract:
    Since February 2020, tickets coming in over channels like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, direct messages over Twitter, and SMS rose nearly 50 percent. While this is convenient for the user, this could result in tickets not being generated for the help desk and may be negatively impacting their tracking metrics. Our solution integrates itself within multiple commonly used messaging and support desk platforms. This provides end users with easy solutions for their common problems and granting them an easy way to make a support ticket should they require additional support from their help desk. By using readily available technology, we are bringing an easy-to-use solution to those in need of support in a way that is convenient for the end user and easy for the support desk to track. Our Solution provides an easily accessible chatbot that provides end users with quick level one support.

  • Mismanaged Credential Finder

    Student Work thumbnail: Mismanaged Credential Finder
    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Knowledge bases are a growing industry due to the information required in the background to support multiple applications and daily tasks for employees. These knowledge bases are filled with an abundance of information. This information could include passwords, keys and other credentials that could be critical for an organization. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 78% of attacks on web applications involved the use of stolen credentials with credentials and personally identifiable information as a target. With the Mismanaged Credential Finder, this application is looking to find and help remedy credentials that are in these knowledge bases. By doing so, this application is looking to help IT professionals manage their knowledge base and enforce cybersecurity policies. In doing so, our goal is to minimize risk due to a knowledge base breach for an organization.

    Description/Abstract:
    Introsec is an informational program that introduces middle and early high school students to the realm of cybersecurity. This web application consists of a series of interactive gamified labs that help students develop skills that are relevant to their personal cybersecurity and the broader industry. According to security firm ProtectWise, 67 percent of millennials have never taken a cybersecurity class (Delaney, 2018). Based on our research, there is a need for a quick and interactive course to introduce middle and high school level students to the basics of cybersecurity and gauge their interest in the field. Introsec provides a fast, fun and effective way to get hands-on experience without needing to commit to a long camp or series of courses. We have created a functioning web application that provides students with basic information about aspects of cybersecurity through multiple scenario-based games.

    Description/Abstract:
    E-waste is a global problem that is growing at an amazing pace, going from 41.4 million metric tonnes (Mt) to 44.7 Mt in just 3 short years. With the amount of devices that are being released each month it’s easy to forget the impact it can have. Our undertaking is to create a more accessible method of disposing and tracking unwanted or outdated devices. We plan to accomplish this with a frictionless web application that will allow anyone to recycle their goods using a painless and efficient pickup system which is both secure and speedy. We will create and test the web app to show both the pickup and delivery of an item as well as safe methods to secure or destroy any unwanted data.
