I need someone who enjoys prepping, survival, emergency mitigation, and resiliency topics. My work covers a breadth of topic areas. I am looking for someone who is experienced at original research (not AI, not copy/paste from Wikipedia), understands source quality, and can pull together various pieces of information on a topic in a written product. This project will start with research on two topics: 1) Technology and cyber prep 101 - most common real world emergencies with a technology nexus, how to protect against those emergencies, how to protect devices, physical emergencies stemming from tech or cyber, digital/electronic emergencies stemming from tech or cyber, etc. 2) I've been hacked, now what? (what is hacking, understanding hacking, signs you've been hacked, what should you do if hacked, etc.) Each topic should be 2 to 5 pages. Please include links to your sources and pull from a variety of sources. Price includes: for each report, I will send 1 round of follow-up questions for you to answer that focuses on what you sent me (to make sure I can fully use the content). Note: if we work well, I have additional topics, typically only one topic per milestone, and will pay for each topic covered.

We need help designing and setting up a secure remote access model for multiple authorized engineers working across client-controlled environments. Right now, access is too dependent on individual laptops and ad hoc VPN/SSH workflows. We need a cleaner, more reliable setup that supports secure engineer access, credential handling, MFA, and onboarding/offboarding. The first priority is one client environment where access currently works roughly like this: Engineers connect through a commercial VPN service SSH is used for access Shared SSH keys are currently involved MFA is required through an enterprise MFA tool If a laptop disconnects from VPN, access may be lost for the day Credentials are stored in an enterprise password manager This setup is not reliable enough and does not scale well to multiple engineers. We are looking for someone who can review the current access flow and recommend/implement a better approach. We are open to the right architecture. Possible options may include VPN changes, bastion host, jump host, cloud workstation, VDI, Zero Trust access, SSH access broker, privileged access tool, or another secure pattern. The goal is not to bypass MFA or client security controls. We need a compliant setup that works within normal enterprise security expectations. What we need help with: Review current VPN, SSH, MFA, and credential flow Identify the weak points in the current setup Recommend a better access architecture Set up a reliable access pattern for multiple engineers Improve SSH key management Improve credential delegation and revocation Reduce dependency on one physical laptop Ensure MFA is handled properly Add auditability where possible Document the final setup Deliverables: Current-state review Recommended architecture Collaboration/Implementation of the approved approach SSH/key management recommendation Credential management recommendation MFA handling recommendation Onboarding/offboarding steps Admin runbook Engineer runbook
