Francesco Vianello (30 August 1952 – 3 May 2009), better known by his nickname Fravia (sometimes +Fravia or Fravia+), was a software reverse engineer, and hacker, known for his web archive of reverse engineering techniques and papers and was a well-known web-searcher. He is also known for his work on steganography. He had taught on subjects such as data mining, anonymity, stalking, klebing, advertisement reversing and ad-busting.〔 Fravia spoke six languages (including Latin) and had a degree in the history of the early Middle Ages. He was an expert in linguistics-related informatics.〔 For five years he made available a large quantity of material related to reverse engineering through his website, which also hosted the advice of reverse engineering experts, known as reversers, who provided tutorials and essays on how to hack software code as well as advice related to the assembly and disassembly of applications, and software protection reversing.〔 Fravia was a professor at the ''High Cracking University'' (+HCU), founded by Old Red Cracker (+ORC), a legendary figure in reverse engineering, to conduct research into Reverse Code Engineering. The addition of the "+" sign in front of the nickname of a reverser signified membership in the +HCU. His website was known as "+Fravia's Pages of Reverse Engineering" and he used it to challenge programmers as well as the wider society to "reverse engineer" the "brainwashing of a corrupt and rampant materialism". In its heyday, his website was receiving millions of visitors per year and its influence was "widespread".〔 His web presence dates from 1995 when he first got involved in research related to reverse code engineering (RCE). In 2000 he changed his focus and concentrated on advanced internet search methods and the reverse engineering of search engine code.〔〔 His websites "www.fravia.com" and "www.searchlores.org" contained a large amount of specialised information related to data mining.〔 His website "www.searchlores.org" has been called a "very useful instrument for searching the web", and his "www.fravia.com" site has been described as "required reading for any spy wanting to go beyond simple Google searches."〔 ==Fravia as Francesco Vianello== In the 1980s, he was a member of the ''Esteban Canal'' chess club in Venice, before moving to CES in Brussels.〔Tommaso Dorigo (2009) ("Farewell, Chicco!" on Scientific Blogging )〕 Graduated in history at the University of Venice in 1994, Fravia had a master's degree in history and philosophy in 1999. He was interested in studying the arts and humanities and was aiming to build a collective knowledge on the particular subject of learning and Web-searching as an art.〔Fravia (2006) ("Websearching, the sublime art" )〕 He spoke six languages (including Latin).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/speakers/186.en.html )〕 Fravia participated as a speaker in the 22nd Chaos Communication Congress. His lecture was on the subject of Hacking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events/408.en.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fravia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
