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).

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

4. History And Geography
• The State of Tamil Nadu has a hoary antiquity. Though early sangam classics throw historical
references, we pass to recorded history only from the Pallavas.
• The southern states of India were under the hegemony of the Cholas, the Cheras and the
Pandyas for centuries.
• The Pallavas held supremacy from about the second quarter of the fourth century A.D. They
were the originators of the famous Dravidian style of temple architecture.
• The last Pallava ruler was Aparajita, in whose reign the later Cholas under Vijayalaya and
Aditya asserted themselves by about the 10th century. At the end of the 11th century, Tamil
Nadu was ruled by several dynasties like the Chalukyas, Cholas and Pandyas. In the two
centuries that followed, the imperial Cholas gained paramountcy over South India.
• Muslims gradually strengthened their position, which led to the establishment of the
Bahamani Sultanate, by the middle of the 14th century.
• At the same time, the Vijayanagar Kingdom quickly consolidated itself and extended its sway
over the whole of South India, and at the close of the century, Vijayanagar became the
supreme power in South.
5. CONTINUED..
• However, it crumbled at the battle of Talikota in 1564 to the confederate forces of the Deccan
Sultans.
• Even during the period of the tumultuous confusion that followed the battle of Talikota,
European commercial interest had appeared as rivals in the area of South India. The
Portuguese, the Dutch, the French and the English came in quick succession and established
trading centres known as 'Factories'. East India Company, which had established its factory at
Masulipatnam (now in Andhra Pradesh) in 1611, gradually annexed territories by encouraging
enmity among the native rulers. Tamil Nadu was one of the first of British settlements in
India.
• The State is the successor to the old Madras Presidency, which covered the bulk of the
southern peninsula in 1901.
• The composite Madras State was later reorganised, and the present Tamil Nadu was formed.
• Tamil Nadu is bounded on north by Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, on the west by Kerala, on
the east by the Bay of Bengal, and on the south by the Indian Ocean.
