I'm developing CyclePatrol, an open-source Bash tool for on-foot Wi-Fi security checks in a loop, with evidence reports. It supports Wi-Fi scanning, WPS, WPA2/WPA3 checks, GPS tracking, and HTML reports.

My main question is: How can I make sure active security tests only run on authorized Wi-Fi networks? Is a BSSID allowlist enough?

I'm the developer of this project.

Hi everyone,

I'm an MSc Cyber Security student at Islington College, London Metropolitan University. My dissertation investigates burnout, cognitive workload and alert fatigue among people working in Security Operations Centres (SOCs) and related cybersecurity operations roles.

I'm looking for participants who currently work, or have worked within the last 12 months, as a SOC analyst, incident responder, threat hunter, or in a closely related role involving security monitoring, alert triage, threat detection, or SIEM/MDR operations.

The survey explores workplace factors that may contribute to burnout and workload in security operations. It's anonymous: no names, email addresses, IP addresses or employer details are collected, and results will be reported only in aggregate. Participation is voluntary, and you can stop at any time before submitting your responses.

Ethics approval: Islington College (London Metropolitan University)
Estimated time: 15–20 minutes

If you meet the eligibility criteria, I'd really appreciate your participation. If you know someone who may be eligible, please feel free to share this post with them.

I'm happy to answer questions in the comments.

Thank you for your time and support!
