Gerardo García Peña aka Killabyte

Who am I?

I received a Computer Science Degree from Facultad de Informática de Barcelona of UPC (FIB). and later I studied a Master of Computer Security at esCERT.

My interests:

• Linux, FreeBSD y Hurd (and a little about Microsoft's Operating Systems)
• Networks.
• Low level development.
• Distributed programming and Web Apps.
• High Performance Computing.
• Hardware emulation.
• Graphics and geometry.
• Game development (and sometimes I like to play with Quake III and Doom 3).

I am the #378121 Linux User.

My works

There are some samples of things I do when I have spare time. In the future I will upload more, but now it is the only things I have at hand:

• SouthPark with Mathematica
  This is a Mathematica Notebook Mathematica with South Park characters modelled in 3D. I am sure it is one of the most obscure things I have done (screenshot).
• OpenGL Chess Model
  A simple 3D model with Gouraud shading and volumetric shadows. It is written in C++ and it currently only works in Linux (but in theory, if you comment ZIP_CACHE option in main.cpp it should work in Visual Studio with little changes). (screenshot)
• pDI-Tools: A Portable Dynamic Instrumentation Tools
  This tool makes possible to interpose code dynamically (during runtime) in an application. The mechanisms used by this program makes possible to instrument any application even without source code or debug information. It works on Linux (i386, PPC, PPC64), Solaris (SPARC) and Irix (MIPS). It is covered by the LGPL.
• DioNiSio, a DNS Scanner
  DioNiSio is a DNS scanner written in pure C without any dependence on other libraries or tools. It implements three scans types (dictionary, inverse resolution and recursive zone transfers) and can detect DNS misconfigurations or anomalities. Its main targets are portability, rational resources usage, and ease of use.
• DoSIS: A Denial of Service software (Additional resources)
  A Denial of Service software. It is based on scripts that perform different types of DoS attacks. This scripts can be used and personalized by users. It is also a framework for developing new features, options or mechanism for writing scripts that perform new types of attacks.
• Stacktrace
  Stacktrace is a little utility library, that permits to print the contents of the stack in a readable manner, when some event is received or when program decides to print it (for debugging purpouses, maybe). The look'n'feel of the printed stacktrace is similar to java's stacktrace, but symbol names are fetch from the binary ELF structures.
• ANO.LOLCATHOST.ORG (and ANILLO.LOLCATHOST.ORG)
  ANO (and its mobile version, ANILLO) is a site containing tons of lolcats and internet memes. Those sites are built for lulz (laughing) and for researching and testing last web trends (ajax, advanced javascript, mobile contents, svg, etc).
  WARNING: some pics may be disgusting and/or offensive.

Sites and friends

Sites with I have an special (good) relation:

• T6 Estàndard Lingüístic - Spanish to Catalonian Translation.
  Home page of one of the places where I have worked. They have the best Spanish to Catanian translation software I have never seen. It's impressive, really; if you do not believe me take a look to their spanish to catalan translator.
• Certimail.es: mensajes electrónicos con depósito notarial.
  I take part in Certimail.es development almost in all its technical levels: web, program, server maintenaince, security, documentation, etc. Certimail is a service which allow to send emails which are copied in a notarial deposit and, if the user wishes, he can ask for a notary testimony for any message send by the system. It is like a Burofax, a lot faster, cheaper, more ecological and efficient.
