Other

As an open source entusiast I’ve released a few projects under GPL licenses, you can check them out on my github, being worth mention the following.

Open Projects

Digenpy

Wireless default keys generator
Most wireless routers generate the password based on a fixed algorithm (you should really change your router password when you get it).
This software combines various spanish password algorithms in just one application, with multiple interfaces (web, gtk and cli).

RSText.me

Online RST presentations
Most python geeks would find quite easier to write in RST (restructuredtext) format than create a presentation with standard software.
This combines the strenght of both sides, wich makes it easier to use to everyone, and adds the cloud to the equation.

Timeline

Addon for impress.js
As an event organiser, and web developer, I use Impress.js for managing my events, this fixes that impress didn’t have any time line, thus allowing impress users to keep track of time in their presentations.

GrassCMS

Drag&Drop CMS

Developed for the company TheOtherNet, grasscms intends to be an easy-to-use (drag&drop) web editor, focused on people with small needs and designers who want to work in real time with the client.

MySocialStickers

Bring twitter back to reality!
Having stickers with your name or nickname on it is becoming a neccesity on some talks, conferences and similar meetings.
This web application allows an organiser to easily create stickers based on twitter’s usernames, with personalizable backgrounds, size, and an optional QR-code.

Airoscript-ng

The best complement for aircrack-ng
Airoscript-ng is the most complete interface to aircrack-ng and alike tools out there.
It combines the power of the console with a nice text user interface, allowing people to completly take control over aircrack-ng in much less time.

Hackerspaces

I’m one of the promotors and cofounders of Zaragoza’s hackerspace, Dlabs
Giving communities a place to meet, as well as interesting hackers and makers a place to develop their ideas, we intend to carry on the hackerspace, makerspace and artist's place spirit, combined.
