Most of the data collection is complete, and now it is time for data analysis. I have ran network strength and network speed tests on all of the core materials of the shield, and it is somewhat difficult to sort through relevant information. I need to figure out which metal affects the network speed the most, and to do this, I need to write another Python program that can sort through the data output, and find common trends. The trends that the program identifies will help me figure out which material is best for slowing down RF signals. Once I have identified the most effective material in blocking Wi-Fi signals, I will do more experimentation on the way that the shape and orientation of the material affects the signal. Tags:

I have been in contact with a few people from different professions in the field of cybersecurity, from email security systems, to penetration testers, to network administrators. I contacted the Chief Outreach Officer (C.O.O.) of Mimecast Security, AJ Steffenberg, and he was able to get me into contact with a plethora of cybersecurity analysts from many different companies. Another group, called the IT Install Nightmares, have provided me with many resources that I can use to further solidify my proof of concept, along with a lot of useful advice on how to proceed with my project. Once my formal lab report is finished, I will have it read over by one or more of my mentors with network security experience in case anything needs to be clarified further. Tags:
Planning Experiment Mentors
I have received all of the materials that I need for my experiment, generously provided by EdAdvance. On the left is the dual-band router, and on the right is the directional antenna and u.Fl cable needed to connect the antenna to the motherboard. If all goes as planned, the experiment should conclude this week!
I have began planning my experiment. I will be testing the effectiveness of various materials, shapes of the prototype "shield", among other factors. I have ordered all of the necessary materials, and will be conducting this experiment within the next two weeks or so.
