Traces of upcycling and low-budget design in the public space of Faro | Krzys...RESTORE
This document summarizes research conducted as part of a STSM (short term scientific mission) in Faro, Portugal. The research examines traces of upcycling and low-budget design in public spaces in Faro to explore how green spaces can become successful public places despite limited funding. Case studies were conducted of three parks built after 2000. Results found that the simplest park, Parque de Lazer, with a basic patchwork design was the most well-used, while the professionally designed Parque das Cidades saw little use. Parque de Lazer serves as an example of how public participation and low-cost, customizable design can create a popular community space.

Know your Modular Mining Costs for Negotiating with 3rd parties (1)Ivan Pjanic
The document summarizes the results of a site assessment at a Holcim plant in Azerbaijan to analyze quarry operations and identify cost savings opportunities. The assessment found that insourcing clay quarry operations instead of outsourcing would reduce costs. A two-month trial of in-house clay quarrying validated this, accruing savings of €115,000 so far. Key changes like improving haul roads and collecting modular cost data enabled negotiating a new outsourced hauling contract. This lowered the cost per tonne of clay by 42%, estimated to save €251,000 annually with minimal investment.

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).
Speakers:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
