Personal stuff
Hello, my name is Lev Walkin.
My interests include computer programming, psychology of motivation,
smart women, badminton and jazz.
I have no TV at home and shy away from social networking.

Open source software
One of my favorite web projects is the ASN.1 Compiler. Its (online version) is where Texan cellular providers convert their multi-megabyte CDR data (TAP3) into XML, since most commercial tools are not up to challenge.
Here are a few other open source projects I run.
- asn1c-0.9.21 – The ASN.1 to C compiler. Also use Online ASN.1 compiler.
- ipcad-3.7 – A versatile IP traffic collector (Supported capture methods: BPF, libpcap, tee, divert, ULOG, IPQ; Supported export methods: RSH, NetFlow, file dump).
- libstrfunc-8.3 – A collection of text processing functions, primarily aimed at CGI developers (Includes support for CGI forms handling (GET/POST), base64, MIME, date/time conversion routines, textual template formatting et cetera).
- ... and more C sources of varying degree of usability.
Once upon a time (1997) I spent a few years developing the following Windows beast:
- The Network Emulator 3.0 – A system for visual modelling the TCP/IP networks.
It has a GUI to create a mesh of hosts interconnected by various network media (Ethernet, serial, etc).
These virtual hosts run virtual programs, like "telnet", "ping",
"traceroute" and "gated", written using finite state automata; the system visually models the TCP/IP stack behavior.
The emulator supports the IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP and even BGP.
This project is listed here largely for sentimental reasons.
