WORK EXPERIENCE

02/01/2011 – CURRENT – Campinas, Brazil

RESEARCHER – MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF BRAZIL

As a Chief of Security Office I improve, modern security polices in the research centre. As a Chief of IT I
improve successful new projects like modern IP phone system, best practices and improve customer
satisfaction. Coordinator of public admin ERP for Ministry of Science and Technology. As Cyber Security
Researcher I work at consulting for:
Law Enforecement, Justice and Military cooperation: I participated in the Oracle project of the Federal
Police of Brazil in the development of monitoring systems to protect the public at major events such as the
Rio de Janeiro Olympics. I also participated in an investigation into a lawsuit against fraud in public software
purchases in a city in the state of São Paulo. For Brazilian Army I developed a process to evaluate
antimalware software before public purchase.
On Privacy, my works was presents with four research papers and three versions of a method to restore
InPrivate or incognito navigation over IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and TOR able to expose all
navigation made over incognito mode.
On Encryption, my work was provided three methods in three research papers to bypass cryptographic
systems to gain access to the encrypted files. Symantec Encryption Desktop, BitDefender Total Encryption
and Truecrypt variants are covered by these methods.
Web Credentials was explored in one research paper and it show how to get the completely fully clear text
of user credentials after the analyst having access to the computer target. The proposed method can get
credentials used in intranets or e-commerce; home banking and email accounts. The Brazilian federal bank
Caixa Econômica Federal improve its home banking because of this research.
On Security Systems my work was presented methods to create a cyber autoimmune disease and
scenarios analysis to use it over military demands. This research demonstrates the use of harmless DNA
fragments extracted from computer viruses from the 80's and their use to induce an autoimmune
cybernetic disease capable of fooling the most famous antiviruses. These systems made for protection, if
induced by this method thus cause a complete destruction of the operating system and a loss of customer
data. The human factor will always be the most important and at the same time the most flawed and
dangerous.
On Cyber Security Education, this research provides in two research papers, a critical survey of cyber
security education that explores UK Undergraduate Computer Science curricula and show that
cybersecurity as an optional content at the end of the course. Also, this research proposes a method to
classify how relevant is cyber security in this environment. The method presents a new insight into
cybersecurity education. IRCS Index of Relevance in Cybersecurity (IRCS) intends to classify the computer
science courses offered in UK Universities based on the relevance of cybersecurity formal presented in
their curricula.
