One hint of NIST is to configure systems to issue a log entry and alert on any successful and unsuccessful login to an administrative account.
When we buy a Windows Laptop for default the event of unsuccessful login is not enable. Why not even consider our laptop as a system to monitor and to use it as a system of motion detection?
Technologies and Methodologies
This section presents the libraries and algorithms used . The tool is an HIDS (Host Intrusion Detection System) that is not provided in Windows, so we have to intercept the security event when an account failed to log on, in order to react by sending an alert email to the laptop owner, for security auditing and accountability. The workstation has to be connected to Internet to send email, a good lighting is requested to take a picture too.
The environment where the prototype was developed and tested is Windows 7 and 10. The main programming language used is Python 3.5 or greater with Computer Vision library.
The application of this technology may touch the main sectors like:
· medical health: identifying and measuring human organs, and pathology;
· economic: once the system has been trained to recognize objects to be cataloged, such as vegetables in a supermarket without the need for a barcode reader and labels,
· Public Order: controlling people,
· traffic laws: for speed detector of vehicles
· Security: for video surveillance for example, etc.
