Programming

Below you will find some examples of code and screens I designed.

Blink LEDs via Raspberry Pi 4 / 5

Here is a little project for those who want to get into writing .NET 8 console apps on your Raspberry Pi 4 or 5.

I used a breadboard and jumpers all from amazon. Search for:

"HUAREW Breadboard and Jumper Wires Kit Include 830 Tie Points Breadboard 400 Tie Points Breadboard Jumper Wire"

Follow the diagram and download the .NET code here.

There are many documents out there that will tell you how to install .NET 8 onto your Pi. Here are a few...

Encryption Example in C#

Below is the entire class I use. to encrypt and decrypt database connections strings stored in the app.config file.

This is what I use to decrypt the string...

Crypto.Decrypt(ConfigIO.SettingsRead(ConnectConnection), Var.SQINPfeKwB4)

Var.SQINPfeKwB4 is used to store the key. It's broken up into 16 segments throughout the program. The key is 28 characters long. I also use longer keys.

using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

foreach (byte b in data)
{

}

return result.ToString();
}
public static string HASHEncrypt(string Password, bool x, string Salt, out string SaltReturn)
{

{

var combinedPassword = string.Concat(Password, Salt);
var sha512 = new SHA512Managed();

Using this method of encryption, I created a database with over 1 million GUID 32 entries with no repeats. The program I designed can produce 100's GUID 32 entries per second. It can also produce keys with - or without.

It can also produce special keys for encryption using:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ?,./:;}{][0123456789!@#$%^*()_=+-
and many other combinations. The longest and most complex key type has over 140 characters.
