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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

7. Sound
• Although film and television largely effect the audience
because of what they see, sound also has a big impact
on the audience.
• The music used in film is known as the soundtrack.
• It can be broken down into the following categories...
8. Diagetic Sound:
Sound or music that is recorded on set as it happens. This will
include dialogue and sounds which take place within the film e.g. a
door closing, gun being fired, police siren.
Non-Diagetic Sound:
Music or sound which is added to the film during the editing process.
Most often, non-diagetic sound is music, which is used to create
atmosphere or emotion.
9. SOUND
• Score – The musical component of a programme’s
soundtrack, usually composed specifically for the scene.
• Sound Effects – sounds that are added to a film during the
post-production stage. Sound Motif- A sound effect or
combination of sound effects that are associated with a
particular character, setting, situation or idea.
• Sound Bridge— Can lead in or out of a scene. They can
occur at the beginning of one scene when the sound from
the previous scene carries over briefly before the sound
from the new scene begins.
10. SOUND
• Dialogue— Words spoken by the characters Incidental music— non-diegetic sounds which add
atmosphere to an action or revelation.
• Ambient sound—the background sounds which are present in a scene or location. Common
ambient sounds include wind, water, birds, crowds, office noises, traffic, etc. It performs a number
of functions including: Providing audio continuity between shots, reventing an unnatural silence
when no other sound is present and establishing or reinforcing the mood.
• Sound Perspectives—The sense of a sound's position in space, yielded by volume and pitch. Used
to create a more realistic sense of space, with events happening (that is, coming from) closer or
further away.
• Voiceover—When a voice, often that of a character in the film, is heard while we see an image of a
space and time in which that character is not actually speaking. The voice over is often used to give
a sense of a character's subjectivity or to narrate an event told in flashback.
• Contrapuntal– When the score juxtaposes the action in the scene for dramatic effect
13. In exploring representation you need
to establish....
• What view of people or issues is being
conveyed to audiences?
• How far is that view conveyed?
• How far are audiences positioned to take up a
preferred view?
• How far do the representations challenge or
conform to dominant representations and
ideologies?
14. Representation
• Representation refers to the construction
in any medium of aspects of ‘reality’ such
as people, places, objects, events, cultural
identities and other abstract concepts.
Such representations may be in speech or
writing as well as still or moving pictures.
• A key aspect in the study of representation
concern is with the way in which
representations are made to seem
‘natural’.
15. Representation
• Media is all about taking reality (real life) and
re-presenting it to an audience in a different
way. This might be a re-presentation of real
life e.g. BBC news, a manipulation of real life
e.g. The Only Way is Essex or Made in
Chelsea, or a fictional account e.g.
Eastenders or Coronation Street.
• All Media has a base in reality and the way
we see different events or characters can
have a real impact on the way we feel about
a group of people or a major issue.
16. Representation
• Representation plays a major role in our
enjoyment of a Media text. The audience
reads and decodes information in a number
of ways, and this helps them to understand
who a character is or what they might be
feeling.
• The audience is also influenced by what they
see represented on screen
• Look at the following TV characters – how do
they make you feel about them?
17.
18.
19.
20. Stereotypes
• The easiest way for the audience to relate
to a character or characters is to use
Stereotypes
• Stereotypes are when a character is
created using a common set of ideas
about a group of people. These ideas can
be both positive and negative and can
influence the way we view groups of
people
21. Gender
• What are the most
common
representations of
Gender in the Media?
• In pairs label each
gender with the most
common
representations you’d
expect
Develop
23. Male Representations
• 'Masculinity' is a concept that is made up of
more rigid stereotypes than femininity.
Representations of men across all media
tend to focus on the following:
– Strength - physical and intellectual
– Power
– Sexual attractiveness (which may be based on
the above)
– Physique
– Independence (of thought, action)
• Male characters are often represented as
isolated, as not needing to rely on others
(the lone hero). If they capitulate to being
part of a family, it is often part of the
resolution of a narrative, rather than an
integral factor in the initial equilibrium.
• It is interesting to note that the male
physique is becoming more important a part
of representations of masculinity.
24. Female Representations
• Representations of women across all
media tend to highlight the following:
– beauty (within narrow conventions)
– size/physique (again, within narrow
conventions)
– sexuality (as expressed by the above)
– emotional (as opposed to intellectual)
dealings
– relationships (as opposed to
independence/freedom)
• Women are often represented as
being part of a context (family,
friends, colleagues) and
working/thinking as part of a team. In
drama, they tend to take the role of
helper or object, passive rather than
active (Propp).
25. The Male Gaze
• Is an unconscious
assumption that every
audience member is a
heterosexual male
• Thus all women are
objectified and inferior
in some way
26. Textual Analysis
• In pairs, watch the following extract
• Can you identify what the representation is?
• Is it a positive or negative
