Reaching 5 Million Messaging Connections: Our Journey with KubernetesConnected
Learn how we built a high-scale messaging service and state store on Kubernetes. The solution supports millions of persistent, concurrent connections; enables tens of thousands of messages per second; is globally addressable; stores millions of states; and responds with minimal latency (<250ms).
To evaluate build approaches, the team split into Makers & Breakers. Makers developed the solution stack while Breakers focused on repurposing Locust, a high-scale load testing framework, to simulate behavior. Leveraging the flexibility of Kubernetes, we were able to scale the stack and solve blockers on the path to a viable solution. Blockers included ingress, file descriptors, service discovery and resource limits. The experience was deeply educational, generating key learnings for developers tasked with building a scaled solution on top of Kubernetes.
This document discusses denial of service (DoS) attacks. It defines DoS as an attack meant to make a machine or network unavailable to its intended users.

Open Programmable Architecture for Java-enabled Network DevicesTal Lavian Ph.D.
Current network devices enable connectivity between end systems given a set of protocol software bundled with vendor hardware. It is impossible for customers to add software functionality running locally on top of network devices to augment vendor software. Our vision is to open network devices so that customized software can be downloaded, allowing for more flexibility and with a focus on industry and customer specific solutions. This brings considerable value to the customer. We have chosen to use Java because we can reuse its security mechanism and
dynamically download software. We can isolate the Java VM and downloaded Java programs from the core router functionality. We implemented Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) on a family of network devices,
implemented an Open Services framework, and developed an SNMP MIB API and a Network API upon which we can demonstate the value of openness and programmability of network devices.

Presentation on "XSS Defeating Concept in (secure)SiteHoster" : 'nullcon-2011'Abhishek Kumar
Nullcon is an annual hacker conference held in India. The document discusses defeating web application attacks through offensive security techniques like bug hunting and disarming malicious script tags. It also covers techniques for preventing cross-site scripting attacks, such as parsing user input and only allowing safe HTML tags.
An Approach Eradicating Effect of JavaScript Events in
User Input Being A Part of Web2.0 Facilities... in short the final nail to coffin of XSS Attacks
This document proposes a technique to prevent XSS attacks by modifying how browsers render <script> tags inserted into the <body> of an HTML document. The technique involves the web server transforming the page generated by the application server by wrapping the <body> contents in a <script> tag. This causes any <script> tags in the original <body> to not execute while preserving those in the <head>. The goal is to enable security without requiring input validation by web developers. A proof-of-concept implementation demonstrates how this modification disables injected malicious scripts.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.

An Express Guide ~ "dummynet" for tweaking network latencies & bandwidth
1. Express-Guide
~to~
Testing Web/Network Application With
DummyNet
Tweaking Network Latency & Bandwidth
by, ABK ~ http://www.twitter.com/aBionic
::Task Detail::
Any service allowing to tweak Network Latency as per desire for testing
Application Performance at different network latency scenarios.
::Background::
Normally, the difference which comes in Development and Deployment
environment of Web Applications is of bandwidth and latency.
To test the applications in actual scenario, one needs to tweak the latency
as per deployment scene and then use it.
There are few paid VE Technology based services like ‘Shunra’ for this. But
we required a free, open-source application, if possible for windows.
DummyNet, it’s an old Italian university project started for BSD systems,
recently ported for Windows also.
It helps in reducing latency of NIC to desired level.
::Execution Method::
Install NDIS Driver
◦ Open the configuration panel for the network card in use
{right click on the sys-tray icon, or go to 'Control Panel' > 'Network' to select}
◦ Click on 'Properties' > 'Install' > 'Service' > 'Add'
◦ Click on 'Driver Disk' and select 'netipfw.inf' in the folder it has been extracted to.
◦ Select 'ipfw+dummynet' which should be the only service visible.
◦ Click 'Accept' on the warnings for the installation of an unknown driver.
Create a BAT-File for your Application to be run under test bandwidth &
latency with following content
2. ◦ --------------------------------------
@echo on
@set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning
@ipfw -q flush
@ipfw -q pipe flush
@echo #################
@echo ## Setting up ##
@echo #################
ipfw pipe 3 config delay 1000ms bw 500Kbit/s mask all
ipfw add pipe 3 ip from any to any
ipfw pipe show
your_command_running_your_app
pause
@echo #################
@echo ## Cleaning up ##
@echo #################
ipfw -q flush
ipfw -q pipe flush
pause
--------------------------------------
◦ Here, 1000ms is latency set and can be changed to desired value 500
Kbps is bandwidth set and can be changed to desired value 'delay x' and
'bw x'; both can be used separately also as per need either place a
command running your application to be tested in place of
'your_command_running_your_app'; or simple remove that line and
when the command gets paused at the first pause, run your application
manually.
::Tools/Technology Used::
DummyNet: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/
::Inference::
Different latency settings disturbs only certain network applications, not all
of them.
If a Web Application is supposed to run on variable latency system, say for
now on cloud.
Then it needs to be rigorously tested at different latency settings.
3. ::Troubleshooting/Updates::
Requirement: to test if it gets installed properly as a network services
Solution:
it has a testme.bat file showing different tests, just run it and check stats
