J Warctic Power Point
The Arctic region encompasses the Arctic Ocean and surrounding landmasses north of the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and most landlocked of the world's oceans, covered by a thick polar icepack for most of the year. The climate is characterized by extreme seasonal variations, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Both the land and marine ecosystems have adapted to survive in these harsh conditions and support indigenous peoples like the Inuit, as well as resources important to the global economy. Studying the Arctic is important for understanding past and potential future climate changes that are predicted to impact the region first and most severely.

Arctic fox
The arctic fox has a circumpolar range throughout the Arctic regions, including Greenland, Russia, Canada, Alaska, and Svalbard. Global warming is threatening arctic foxes by causing the loss of their habitat as sea ice melts and temperatures rise. This loss of habitat has led populations of arctic foxes in Scandinavia to decline to only 120 adult individuals. Additionally, the disappearance of sea ice makes it more difficult for arctic foxes to find polar bear food in the winter. Rising temperatures are also causing tundra plants that lemmings eat to die out, reducing the main summer food source of the arctic fox that makes up 90% of its diet. Therefore, global warming poses multiple

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
