In other news...

While I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my graphing algorithm, I read on our company site that we won the government grant on researching neurons - how they fire, how the brain interprets them, and if they can be simulated.

Just saw on the news that datajacking is up 20% from last year - in the days of an economic downturn, seems data is a highly sought after commodity.

Graph Theory Application

Using graph theory, I can predict what route a datapacket will take to get from point A to point B. If I can build the model accurately enough, I should be able to plant "listening posts" among the route to monitor what changes to the packet are occurring and where. I should also be able to estimate when a packet should arrive at what juncture - if something arrives later than my estimate, I should be able to trace back and find out why.

Situation

Well, came into work this morning, turns out we have a situation. Apparently, somewhere through our network, there's a leak - which means one of our routers has been compromised. Writing a traversal program to trace route our datapackets and see where the leak is.

Welcome to my mind...

My name's Ubik Tyn - or Ubik10, (my parents were big Philip K. Dick fans) - I work as a developer for a biotechnology company in the midwest. Nothing too exciting, really - I'm a cryptographer, developing alogorithms to secure our data from being jacked by our competitors. It's kinda like a cat and mouse game, we develop algorithms to encrypt our stuff, they develop algorithms to break it and encrypt theirs; in return we develop stronger codes to break theirs, and encrypt ours...

endless cycle...

But, it makes things interesting and there's definite job security, afterall, I hold the keys.
