Master Thesis

I wrote my master thesis for FFI (Norwegian Defence Research Establishment) under the supervision of Geir Hallingstad (FFI) and Hans Petter Langtangen (UiO, Simula research laboratory). It was finished 1. November 2004.

Title:"Adaptive distributed firewall using intrusion detection" (1.2MB PDF).

I also took a special course (2vkt) in intrusion detection: "Technologies for detecting anomalous behaviour in distributed systems"

Philosophy

I've also taken a intermediate course in philosophy, were I wrote about buddhist ethics. I investigated whether we could interpret buddhist ethics in terms of a traditional western consequentialism. You can read my paper here (PDF, Norwegian). I also made a 'mind-map' (PDF, Norwegian) of some buddhist terms.

Maybe you also find this useful if you're reading logic. It lists the rules of natural deduction.
