This presentation will be focusing on this landscape and explain how to leverage the quickly evolving MicroProfile JWT specification to secure Microservices and in a fully stateless and scalable manner. We’ll introduce the specification in a quick fashion and move on to code examples that show how to setup JWT verification and obtain trusted claims via lookup or dependency injection.
Side-Channels on the Web: Attacks and DefensesTom Van Goethem
In this presentation we explore various side-channel attacks in the Web that can be used to leak information on cross-origin responses. These so-called XS-Leaks issues may allow an adversary to extract sensitive information from an unwitting visitor, ranging from personal information this victim shared with social media networks to CSRF tokens, which may lead to full account takeover.
Finally, we discuss the various defenses that can be used to harden web applications against the different types of attacks.

End-to-End Analysis of a Domain Generating Algorithm Malware FamilyCrowdStrike
Select malware families have used Domain Generating Algorithms (DGAs) over the past few years in an effort to evade traditional domain blacklists, allow for fast-flux domain registration and usage, and evade analysts’ abilities to predict attackers’ control servers. While novel work has been done by both private industry and academia with respect to detecting DGA-related network traffic, this presentation demonstrates end-to-end analysis of a DGA malware family, from binary deobfuscation to DGA analysis, to sinkholing, to domain registrant research, to attribution of the malware’s author and accomplices.
The malware family discussed in this presentation has thousands of active variants currently running on the Internet and has managed to stay off of the radar of all antivirus firms. Missed this presentation at Black Hat 2013? Take a look at the slides from Jason Geffner's session. This presentation brought to light how this malware is tied to an underground campaign that has been active for at least the past six years.

[CB20]-U25 Automated Hunting for Cross-Server Xrefs in Microsoft RPC and COM ...CODE BLUE
There may be some logic bugs in the COM and RPC servers built in Windows OS.In order to find these bugs automatically, the commonly used algorithm is to search for the call chain between functions and Win32 APIs that perform sensitive operations, but if you only rely on the xrefs of the disassembler to generate the call chain, you cannot handle calls across process boundaries. To solve this problem to a certain extent, we propose "Cross-Server Xrefs" in COM and RPC and introduce an automated algorithm to search for this scenario, the key to this algorithm is to use the Backtrace function of Metasm(the Ruby assembly manipulation suite). We will also introduce other attack surfaces in "Cross-Server Xrefs" and use our methods to find examples. Finally, we release an open source tool to help researchers explore the things described in this presentation.

Beyond Gamification: Architecting Engagement Through Game Design ThinkingDustin DiTommaso
Gamification is the process of applying game design elements to non-game contexts in order to drive user engagement, influence behavior and improve the user experience associated with digital products and services. Over the past year, the practice of gamification has exploded, fueled by marketing hype, media curiosity and spirited debate. While much of the discussion has revolved around extrinsic reward mechanisms as a panacea for customer loyalty and engagement, the most important and effective motivational dynamics of games have been left on the table.
In this presentation I’ll cut through the hype and draw from the fundamentals of game psychology, double-tapping into the techniques game designers use to motivate, engage and guide players through a game’s lifecycle. In doing so, I’ll lay out a model for architecting user engagement, directing behavior and satisfying the needs of both users and business alike.
The little cog is a parable about the importance of meaning and purpose in one's career, told in the style of children's book! It's a bit like gamification ;)
This is the presentation I used for the 'Gamification for startups' workshop during the Uprise Startup Festival on the 26th of March 2015.
Want to learn how you can implement gamification for your startup, browse through the deck. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me through Twitter on @thijsdevries.
I'm the gamification designer in Faranesh, one amazing e-learning platform that's done well in the last two years and going to be a market leader in our country. They asked me to give an introduction to gamification for the team and also find a way to be applicable to the lifestyle of the young and entrepreneur.
Gamification can be an amazing tool for startups. Every startup can benefit from the power of gaming for it's users and even for the employees to become more productive. This presentation is used for preparing the teams in FANAP accelerator.
Is nicotine reduction a viable policy for tobacco control? No, Definitely not...Clive Bates
My critique of the proposal that regulators should reduce the concentration of nicotine in cigarettes to a sub-addictive level - effectively a prohibition of cigarettes as we know them.

Node.js Security Done Right - Tips and Tricks They Won't Teach You In SchoolLiran Tal
NodeJS, and JavaScript at large are quickly taking over software whether it is GitHub’s statistics for projects growth, the IoT industry, ChatOps projects written in JavaScript and Enterprises adoption is growing as well.
With this trend, it is imperative to review OWASP security practices and learn how to harden NodeJS Web Applications.
We will begin with a quick NodeJS intro and a few fail stories of how things can go wrong.
We will quickly dive into hands-on practical implementation of security measures to adopt in your current or future NodeJS project. Next I will show how to leverage widely adopted security tools for integration in the build and CI/CD process to audit and test for security vulnerabilities, as well as leveraging successful enterprise-level open source npm libraries to enhance your web application’s security.
In summary: in this session I will demonstrate:
* Securing ExpressJS by adopting mature and commonly used npm libraries
* Secure code guidelines for JavaScript software developers
* Integrating NodeJS security measures as part of your build CI/CD DevOps process
GOTO Copenhagen - Radical Agility with Autonomous Teams and Microservices in ...Jan Löffler
What we've built at Zalando is complex. Supporting – profitably – a publicly traded ecommerce company that does business in 15 diverse European markets, with more than 16 million active users who all speak different languages, use different payment methods, prefer different shipping methods, and have different product tastes, has required nonstop innovation. Until recently we've focused on building a unified, comprehensive retail system, quickly, that solves just our problems. But to truly fight against complexity--particularly the accidental complexity that slows down our development process--we have adopted a microservices architecture. And when it comes to DevOps, we’ve gone a step beyond the "You build it, you run it" motto--working in autonomous teams with DevOps treated as a "first-class entity.”
In this talk, Jan Löffler (Head of Platform Engineering) will share Zalando's experience implementing “Radical Agility” from a DevOps perspective. “Radical Agility” is the Zalando technology team’s multi-pronged approach to managing the complexity that results from building an architecture of massive size. Jan will focus on how microservices enable Zalando’s engineers to move faster and build systems that scale, at scale, and avoid dependencies. He will show how microservices, in conjunction with a cloud infrastructure, support teams as they try strive for autonomy. Finally, he will draw upon his experiences to show how this all works in practice, and discuss what is organizationally and architecturally necessary to make DevOps a top priority for all members of your tech organization.

Dublin JUG Stateless Microservice Security via JWT, TomEE and MicroProfileJean-Louis MONTEIRO
Microservices based architecture seems to be the common convergence point in the industry. But when it comes to security we are still struggling to evolve from monolithic systems or people oriented architecture. This presentation will be focusing on this landscape and explain how to leverage the quickly evolving MicroProfile JWT specification to secure Microservices and in a fully stateless and scalable manner. We’ll introduce the specification in a quick and no nonsense fashion and move on to several code examples that show how to setup JWT verification and obtain trusted claims via lookup or dependency injection. For our playground, we’ll be using Apache TomEE, fully open source lightweight Java EE server and MicroProfile implementation.

The days of EJB’s being the center of the Java EE universe are coming to an end. CDI is increasingly becoming the de facto component framework, due to its flexibility and lack of legacy. Starting in Java EE 7 and continuing in 8, the Java EE platform is migrating to enable all of EJB’s best features to be usable in the CDI world. In this session, you’ll learn implementation-level details on how they relate to each other, where we are in the EJB/CDI alignment story, what trade-offs you might need to make, and what you have to gain from making the transition. You will walk out with runnable examples and vendor-level insights. This is the perfect session for heavy EJB users looking to keep up with Java EE’s transition to CDI.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
