Overview

The work examined a hotel's HYDROLOGIC deployment, producing an asset inventory annotated with confidentiality, integrity, and availability priorities. The project applied STRIDE to four system components and documented 24 threat scenarios with justified risk ratings. Deliverables included an executive summary and specific mitigation recommendations.

Access

The project reproduced IoT sensor workflows, prepared and cleaned JSON/Pandas telemetry, and produced a mock WaterSensor log generator. I implemented functions, control flow, and generated a 100-reading JSON sensor file, then parsed it with Pandas for analysis.
