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.

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

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).

heading functionalities in MS Word, LibreOffice, ...
Poor colour contrast
An inability to navigate using keyboard only: rich internet
applications in Facebook
Missing text equivalents for images
Inability to resize text

For General Account Information
Ensure website address is listed in the About section of Timeline/Page in
order to provide an easy point of entry to more information.
Include other ways to contact your organization, e.g. 800 number, an
online “Contact Us” form, or general contact email address.
For Photos, Video, Audio
Always provide a link back to a .be page that hosts a copy of the photo,
video, or audio with full caption/transcript.
After posting the photo, video, or audio, immediately post a comment
that directs users to the full caption or the full transcript.
If you have a YouTube channel, upload your video to your channel and
make sure you enable closed-captions (you’ll want to upload your own
transcript to make sure the captions are accurate). Then post a link to
your YouTube video as your status update, rather than uploading the
video into Facebook. This will ensure that visitors will be taken to your
accessible version on YouTube.
Tips for Making Facebook Posts

For Composing Status Updates
Facebook provides ample space that allows you to spell out acronyms.
Spell out the first instance of the acronym and add the acronym in
parentheses after (e.g., Vlaamse Dienst voor Arbeidsbemiddeling
(VDAB)). This is especially helpful for those using screen readers,
because after the name is heard the acronym is spelled out, and the user
will associate the sound of the acronym with the full name.

For General Account Information
Put your 800 number in your bio line.
If you don’t have a number, put a link to accessible "Contact Us" form.
If you don’t have a “Contact Us” form, put an email link to someone who
can provide help for those with questions.
For Photos, Video, and Audio
Put following prefixes before tweets that have photos, videos, or audio.
This allows people using screen readers to know what to expect before
it’s read out loud. Uppercase formats are for clarity to sighted users.
Photos: [PIC]
Videos: [VIDEO]
Audio: [AUDIO]
Link back to the page that has a copy of the photo, video, or audio with
full caption/transcript.
Make your tweet serve as a descriptive caption so it has context for the
item and then link back to your .be for full accessibility.

For Displaying Tweets
Use the Twitter API or Embedded Timelines feature to display your
agency's tweets on your .be site.
Embedded Timelines feature on Twitter appears to have accessibility
built-in even for those who do not have JavaScript. You can tab through
all aspects of the timeline and use the functions. While it appears that
Twitter is building in accessible content within the Embedded Timelines
and Embedded Tweets features, you should still test it out on your site
prior to making it live. Note that Twitter recommends caching the
content you’re pulling from Twitter because there is a rate-limit.
Add a link in your bio, or occasionally tweet that you have an accessible
format of your tweets at [provide link].

For Composing Tweets
Try to place any hashtags or @mentions at the end of the tweet. This
allows a screen reader to voice the main content of the tweet more
clearly in the beginning, and saving the service-specific speak for the end
(the parts that sound confusing).
If possible, avoid using unfamiliar acronyms that would sound
strange if read by a screen reader. If space allows, try to spell out the
acronyms instead or use a different way to convey the information.
If the acronym is well-known and sounds the same when we speak
as it’s intended to sound (e.g., NASA), you don’t need to spell out
“National Aeronautics and Space Administration”.
Use "CamelCase" for multiple words for hashtags; that is, capitalize
the first letters of compound words (use #SocialGov not #socialgov).
If possible, use the audio feature on your phone to listen to your
tweet prior to distribution so you know now your message would be
conveyed to a hearing-impaired person.

For Closed Captioning of Videos
All videos should have closed captioning. YouTube has a feature that will
automatically caption videos less than 10 minutes. To increase accuracy
of the YouTube machine translation, your video will need to have very
clear-spoken words and little background noise. (NOT recommended due
to poor quality)
Though YouTube has the ability to create captions based on your audio
file, it's best if you have a written transcript already (get someone to
transcribe it (e.g., intern, student, etc.). (is a typical .srt file)
To create a transcript, you can also use a dictation tool like the following:
On a Mac (Mountain Lion): Preferences > Dictation & Speech >
Dictation (On). Then open up any typing program (TextEdit, Word,
Notes, Stickies, etc.) and:
Play the video, pause, speak what you hear, and repeat
Or, if the speaking parts of the video are very clear, play it loud
enough for the Dictation to pick up the voice.

For Closed Captioning of Videos (continued)
Other applications you can use: Dragon (for desktop or the smartphone
app)
After you upload your video to YouTube, make your video "unlisted" at
first and turn off the machine translation version that is automatically
created. Then upload your text transcript. Let YouTube sync it up. Then
you can review and edit the captioning to ensure caption timing matches
the video. Once your YouTube video has captions, you may wish to
download the captions and use an editor to tidy them up.
You can use the YouTube captioning features even if you are not going to
post your video to YouTube. Simply keep your video “unlisted” or
“private” and just download the video file with the captioning.
Depending on what you use on your own site for embedding video (e.g.,
JW Media Player), you may need to find an online converter to convert
the YouTube SBT format to DXFP or other format that your video player
supports.
