Research

Original research, published with its sources, its methodology and its limitations. Each project here is maintained rather than posted once, and each one states the date of the evidence it rests on separately from the date it was last rebuilt.

Current projects

  • The Cloud ASN Risk Watchlist

    A tiered catalog of hosting, VPS, VPN, proxy, bulletproof-hosting and campaign infrastructure, built for prioritising unusual connections without drowning in false positives from shared cloud networks. An autonomous system number appears in almost every log that records a client address, so it applies to identity providers, VPN concentrators, firewalls, SaaS audit trails and anything else that sees where a request came from.

    • Excel workbook
    • CSV bundle
    • JSON
    • Plain ASN text
    • Paste-ready queries for Sentinel, Defender XDR, Splunk and Okta
  • The AI Chatbot Platform Comparison Matrix

    Compares Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini in Google Workspace and Perplexity for business use. It starts with what each product is and what it costs, then works through Microsoft 365 integration, connectors, security and compliance, MCP, failure modes and rollout, so a client and their IT lead can read the same document to the depth each needs. Rows cite the vendor documentation they rest on, judgement calls are labelled as judgement, and a change log records what moved between refreshes and why.
