Building effective cybersecurity doesn’t have to come at a high cost. This session shares the journey of LuCy—a largely open-source cybersecurity toolbox designed to support research and education institutions with accessible SIEM and DNS firewall capabilities. From prototype to production, it explores the technical, operational, and human challenges faced along the way, highlighting lessons learned, unexpected risks, and the importance of community collaboration.

Analysis of the Kimwolf botnet highlights how residential proxy software and unsecured IoT devices can introduce lateral risk into enterprise, academic, and government networks.

Observed activity suggests that DNS queries and local scanning - not confirmed compromise - are often the first visible indicators, reinforcing the importance of segmentation, DNS controls, and asset awareness rather than assuming direct exploitation.

This case underscores how indirect exposure paths continue to challenge traditional security models.
