BIO


I'm currently a student at UVT (West University of Timisoara), which studied at the National College "Iosif Vulcan", from Oradea. I'm the original developer of "Android Sideloader", which has over 200.000 downloads just from GitHub.
I'm also very passionate about programming and computers, I like to help others, constructive criticism and learning new things. I took part in a bunch of volunteering projects, working with EduTV, EduBiz, D.I.A., ADLO, APPE, RoMarketing and Impact.

Currently learning - Rust, Linux and Reverse Engineering
Want to learn in the future - Pentesting, Javascript, Node, Mongo, Typescript, React, Vue, CSS and Bootstrap


PROJECTS



Android Sideloader is a simple tool that lets users easily install apps and games on their android device. This project was developed with C#, uses ADB to communicate with the device, and RCLONE to download the apps and games.
Because android sideloader works with any android device, a lot of people started using it with their Oculus Quest devices
Around the version 1.6, the code started to be too messy to work on it in a timely manner and it was filled with bugs, because it was my first project, the code was very bad and didn't follow good programming practices. After the 2.0 update, I was too burnt out to continue developing the project, I had to focus on exams, school and preparing for uni, I wanted to recode the sideloader with better code, from scratch, and making it cross-platform, but because of Uni, I never had the time.


MY EXPERIENCE


April 2022 - TBA

'go evil' is my biggest project at the time of writing this, it is a bundle of malware-like software, that will be used by pentesters to show how easy it is to "hack" insecure devices, and what you can do with access to a device.
At the moment it is very early in development, only having a working ransomware, but it will be updated with more features and more functionality.
Currently I'm working on its backend which will be complex having features like graphs of "victims" the pentester infected, a builder, and more features on a web panel.
Among the planned features are a stealer, a package for persistence and startup / hidden startup, which are more difficult to implement since this bundle is cross-platform between windows and linux platforms, and maybe Android, but that will be hard to do and will probably be done as the last feature.
At the moment of writing this, the ransomware is FUD (fully undetected) by anti-malware software, this probably won't be the case in the future when it will get more popular. This project is at the moment on hold because of other projects, uni and learning rust.

March 2020 - April 2021

Android Sideloader was one of my biggest projects, it all started when I got an Oculus Quest. The Oculus Quest is an Android based VR headset, I wanted to make a platform similar to F-Droid, where any person or company could make its/their own "config", and serve apps and games for the headset.
It started as just a simple exe file developers could share along with their app, but it got updated frequently, and every update added new features, like self-updating, installing an app with one click, downloading and installing games automatically, keeping track of the versions, showing games thumbnails and more.
Since it was my first big project, it taught me a lot, but the code was very messy, and very quickly it became very hard to work on. I wanted to recode it from scratch, and make it cross-platform since I switched to Linux, but didn't have the time because of school, the national exam, and after that, Uni.

2019 - 2020 | Volunteer, Video Editor | EduBiz Oradea

Working with everyone at the EduBiz organisation was very fun, we helped each other grow and change into better people, all while helping others. I also helped edit a bunch of videos for EduTV and D.I.A., together with ADLO, APPE and RoMarketing

Jun 2019 - Jul 2019 | Internship Accesa.eu

Even though the internship at Accesa only lasted 2 weeks, it was a great experience where I learnt a lot about the general IT working environment. We were taught basic RPA, the scrum methodology and we did a bit of coding practice in C# and JavaScript.
We met a lot of awesome and kind people, which didn't hesitate to answer our questions.
