SECURING YOUR HOME AND HOME NETWORK Ryan Lewis Eastern Kentucky University Network Security & Electronics Spring 2015 Capstone

2 OUTLINE Motivation Introduction Problem Statement Assumptions Proposed Solutions Results Conclusions Future Work References Acknowledgements

3 MOTIVATION Affordable home and home network security Home surveillance systems can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars Raspberry Pi experience Experience implementing firewall software Providing secure and accessible network storage

4 INTRODUCTION We all desire security It is important that we take all steps necessary to protect our digital data from falling into the wrong hands Storing digital data can be a tedious process

5 PROBLEM STATEMENT To provide affordable home video monitoring with remote viewing capability Enhance home network security To provide a secure storage area for local data backups and camera footage

6 ASSUMPTIONS The user has an active internet connection The user has some knowledge regarding computer networking The user has a home PC The user has a spare PC to act as a firewall

7 PROPOSED SOLUTION A dedicated firewall PC running the Untangle Firewall software will secure the home network from unwanted intrusion. A NAS device will be attached to the home router to provide secure and accessible data storage. A Raspberry Pi will act as a motion activated surveillance camera. A live stream of the camera will be made available via a URL.

9 RESULTS The Untangle Firewall software effectively protects the home network from unwanted intrusion. The NAS device successfully provides 2TB of network storage space for personal files and video footage. The Raspberry Pi surveillance camera successfully captured 25 seconds of video footage and stored it on the NAS device

RESULTS I had to replace my home router due to a firmware issue preventing the use of a NAS device. The Raspberry Pi camera module stopped working. Was not able to get the live stream via URL to work 10

16 CONCLUSIONS The project was a success! Proper time management allowed me to complete the project within the allotted timeframe Although a project of this scale was intimidating, I had a blast! I plan to continue using this system in my own home

17 FUTURE WORK Making the live stream via URL available Adding more cameras for enhanced video surveillance capabilities Set up alerts when the Raspberry Pi detects motion and starts filming Adding Dropbox storage capabilities
