1986 Programmed the 'Antas' Soccer Stadium Display using both microelectronics and Algorithmic Knowledge.
1987-88 Participated in the "Projecto Conferencia de Facturas", for the ARSs (Health Regional Administrations) at a full country level, building specific programs and taking responsability for:
  • Corrupted data files recovering (both with gaps or out of fase).

  • Novell 1.0 Test Network Instalation.
1989
  • Studied, after manual disassembly, several of the very first viruses in existence.
  • Created several 'Anti-Bodies' specific for the following virus:
    • "Jumping Ball(?)",
    • "Friday-13", alias "1813" or "Jerusalem".
  • Built the (apparently) first cleaning program for files infected with the "Amstrad" virus

    • Password Acess. (Analise, Prototype, Reduction to Assembler).
    • Protection of Remote Acess to BBS's with Backdoors (Analise, Prototype), currently in use at 'MediSis-BBS' and at 'CyberAcores, Tecnologias de Informacao, Lda'.
    • Protection of Sensitive Files by ciphering with the recognised algorithm BlowFish implemented in CBC mode (Cipher Block Chaining) and distributed at Garbo's and Stuba's ftp sites as BLWCB16F.ZIP, (This is a 114k Zip file with an easy to use DOS executable, documentation and sources in OOP TPascal 7.0 code... for checking by the cryptography community.)
1997-98
  • Started programming in Borland's Object-Pascal with the Package Delphi 3.
