White Hat

Attila Szilagyi One of our clients wanted to archive a huge amount of data from a legacy application before they shut it down, but they had no built-in tools, admin rights, or physical access to the server, so they asked me to hack in to their own system.

By enterprise vulnerability assessment and penetration testing an ethical hacker identifies the critical deficiencies of the client's systems.

Of course no client would be happy when some vulnerabilities were found in their application, but in this case it was for their good. They were able to regain the ownership over their data in no time.

Increasing knowledge and expanding opportunities entail growing responsibilities.

For the sake of my clients by getting familiar with how to harmlessly attack different information technology systems I became more capable guarding my own applications against the malicious attempts by preventing common mistakes during development.

Dev Drops

Victofon Kft. – the World in Your ears

ViFi – Victofon Fitting – medical-electronics manufacturing and fine-tuning system

Desktop solution for Victofon Ltd. used by medical experts and audiologists throughout the country to fine tune digital hearing aid devices and to fit them to the personal needs and hearing loss of hearing impeared patients. I re­designed the Windows® application according to object oriented programming principles and enhanced its functionality with new fitting algorithms, ability to program improved amplifier circuits and a multi-language user interface. On its code basis I developed a related solution called VMS – Victofon Manufacturing System which is used in the factory to initialize the digital chips of the newly produced devices and to measure the characteristics of the assembled parts in an acoustic chamber and to automatically adjust their parameters (C#, VB.Net, SQLite).

HVG-ORAC Newspaper and Book Publisher Ltd.

HVG-Orac – Portal administration, content management application and online store

Online editorial system for HVG-Orac Publishing Ltd. based on MicrosoftTM .Net technology includes a full automated processing of the EU legislation fetched from the Official Journal of the European Union daily and integrate it into the company's online legal service. The process converts the downloaded files and documents and dissects their content interpreted by the self-learning analyzer algorithm and merged into the data center with auto-generated detailed index. The editors can review and edit the data before publishing. The linked frontend offers an up-to-date issue explorer and a detailed search tool of the database content and allows visitors to purchase publications and to book for advertised events (C#, MS SQL Server, Html, XML, PDF, JavaScript).

BADAR® – Business Administration Database management Analyser and Reporting system

BADAR® – Business Administration Database Management Analyser and Reporting System

The BADAR® application suite is an integrated SAS and CRM system, which includes the process-, project- and digital document management func­tional modules as well. To integrate word processing and spread­sheets capabilities into the Windows® desktop client, and to implement bulk-mailing and exporting reports to different document and file formats in the server services I chose to use the open source API of the Open­Office.org soft­ware package (C#, VB.Net, MS SQL).
