Did you know that Facebook would not currently exist as it does today if Founder Mark Zuckerberg hadn’t hacked into Harvard University’s private database? From network operations, data center management, even daily email functions, hacking is an inevitable driver of innovation and technology development. This infographic, “How Computer Hacking Has Impacted Technology as We Know It” shows some different types of hackers, various ways hacking can impact different industries, and shows how some of the biggest malicious attacks have helped to advance network and cyber security.
This is the presentation I will use to discuss issues at the NESC 2009 Forum in Canberra. My aim was to use as many images as possible to illustrate ideas. I tried to reduce my use of words and included all the references I drew upon, particularly in regard to Flickr Creative Commons images.

Leveraging games lifecycle to increase revenue & retention
There is no longer any argument that mobile games have shifted from Premium to Freemium business models.
However, there are few who understand how to deliver this model effectively.
In this Webinar Papaya Mobile's Oscar Clark will take a look at the > different life stages of games and how developers can leverage this to increase the engagement and enjoyment for their players.
He will talk about how designers can predict the user-lifecycle stages of Discovery, Learning, Earning and Churning to get the most out of the flow of the game.
These are the design techniques employed by companies who have created mobile social games generating 15% conversion and ARPPDAU of $30+
"The term "Microservice Architecture" has sprung up over the last few years to describe a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. While there is no precise definition of this architectural style, there are certain common characteristics around organization around business capability, automated deployment, intelligence in the endpoints, and decentralized control of languages and data."

Hack The Capitol - The Unlikely Romance - Critical Infrastructure EditionCasey Ellis
When most folks hear the word "hacker" their reaction is one of fear, but those responsible for cybersecurity are increasingly understanding the role of the "digital locksmiths" amongst us. While healthcare, power, and other CI verticals have been slower to accept crowdsourcing, adoption is well underway. In this talk, Casey Ellis will unpack the evolution of the unlikely romance between those who hack in good faith and the people who design, develop, deploy, and defend software and hardware intended for critical infrastructure and safety-critical applications.
Devops and Intentional Emergence - Velocity Conferencejstogdill
Presented at Velocity Conference in September in New York City.
The information age is replacing the industrial age and corporations are going through changes as big as their original adoption of bureaucracy as an organizing principle.
This talk describes the notion of "Intentional Emergence" in a corporate setting. The idea that managers and technologists should create conditions for emergent outcomes rather than always focusing on the outcome itself.
DevOps and other mechanisms for a more dynamic IT culture are important to this end.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

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.

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:
