I build practical homelab and open-source projects around email infrastructure, syslog, ELK, monitoring, and event analysis.
The goal of these projects is to reproducibly run suspicious mail activity in a Kerio Connect lab, move logs through Logstash and Elasticsearch into metrics and Grafana / Kibana dashboards, and help engineers identify compromise signals, review events, and reduce the risk of repeat attacks.
A lab-friendly project family for:
- running a Kerio Connect lab
- forwarding and parsing syslog
- anonymizing real data for safe public use
- building dashboards in Grafana and Kibana
- kerio-connect — run the lab
- kerio-logstash-project — parse and normalize logs
- kerio-syslog-anonymizer — anonymize real data for demos and publication
Kerio Connect lab -> Syslog -> Logstash -> Elasticsearch -> Grafana / Kibana
-> anonymized sample data for public repos and blog posts
- Homelab engineers who want a reproducible lab for monitoring email infrastructure.
- Sysadmins learning how syslog becomes searchable operational data.
- Security, DevSecOps, and monitoring engineers who need safe examples for demos or handoff.
- Step-by-step READMEs with quick onboarding paths.
- Reproducible lab setup and validation notes.
- Public-safe test data approach for demos and publication.
- Practical documentation for handoff and reuse.
