Projects (or parts of)

• Rework of BOSPbuilding system adding Kconfig and cross compilations support (project for ES and RTOS course in Polimi)
• extensible Differential Power Analysis calculator(project for Cryptography and Security of Digital Devices course in Polimi)
• adminaudit - Audit sysadmin activity on MySQL databases. Plugin for MySQL >=5.5. Can log connections or connections and queries.
• CHOOSEIF- Balance outgoing network traffic between different interfaces at layer 3 (no, that's not bonding. You can balance traffic between two different ISPs without having your own AS) (project for Software platforms for networking course in Polimi, with Giovanni Matteo Fumarola)
• grub setpart- Rewrite the partition table...within Grub2! With some scripts to facilitate USB multiboot by simply storing ISO files contiguously in a filesystem. It's just a working prototype. Sorry, full description only in Italian.
• GlacierSDBTool- Upload data from standard input to Amazon Glacier. Save metadata on Amazon SimpleDB. Fits perfectly with "zfs send". Needs more testing and documentation.

Patches

• Fix rule deletion on iptables(merged in iptables)
• Fixed block size issue in hdparm with FAT filesystems

• ZFS on Linux related

  • Fix ZFS snapshot automounting with GrSecurity constify plugin.
  • Fix usage of numeric id in ZFS quota properties
  • Fix zpool on zvol deadlock
  • Miscellaneous small fixes in ZFS (1, 2, 3)
• Integration of Posix ACLs (stored as xattr) with ZFS. Commit- Attribution- merged in KQ Infotech port of ZPL (now discontinued).
• Porting of ZFS Feature flags and LZ4 compression from GRUB1 in IllumOS to GRUB2 (Merged as rev 5057 to 5062)

• I'm a member of the Tower of Hanoiteam. We are students of Politecnico di Milano and participate in security contests like DEFCON Quals, RuCTFe, iCTF,etc...
• Tower of Hanoi has organized the PoliCTFsecurity competition. I've taken care of networking, scoreboard and part of the challenges.I've also took care of a lot of non-technical issues :)
• There is an association of students called Politecnico Open unix Labsfull of out of ordinary geeks, which have taught me a lot.
