Hunting for malicious modules in npm - NodeSummitAdam Baldwin
Ever since the threat of an npm worm became public we've been thinking about how to detect malicious modules in our ecosystem and how to provide security teams auditing modules with tooling and intel to make informed decisions about module risk. We've built a system to analyze modules based on their installation behavior. This talk will discuss the results of this endeavor and share the interesting findings from this new and previously unexplored dataset and try to answer the question if a npm worm is lurking in the shadows.
The document logs a series of successful connections to a server, messages sent with an InBufferSize of 12 and SvcCommand of 0, and successful reads from the server. This process is repeated over 60 times with identical results each time.

Karostas Cietums in Liepaja, Latvia was a prison that housed prisoners for nearly 100 years from the Russian Empire to the Soviet era. Today, it operates as a museum and hotel where tourists can experience being imprisoned - they are handcuffed, have their belongings removed, and are given minimal food and sleeping in uncomfortable conditions to learn about the shocking Soviet history that took place there. It remains largely unchanged from its time as an active prison. Guests on overnight stays can experience the conditions of real prisoners through simulated imprisonment. The prison is open for tours and overnight stays from May to October each year.

Overcoming (organizational) scalability issues in your Prometheus ecosystemQAware GmbH
Cloud Native Night, July 2020, online: Talk of Jürgen Etzlstorfer (@jetzlstorfer, Dynatrace)
== Please download slides if blurred! ==
Abstract:
Prometheus is considered a foundational building block when running applications on Kubernetes and has become the de-facto open-source standard for visibility and monitoring in Kubernetes environments.
Your first starting points when operating Prometheus are most probably configuring scraping to pull your metrics from your services, building dashboards on top of your data with Grafana, or defining alerts for important metrics breaching thresholds in your production environment. in your production environment.
As soon as you are comfortable with Prometheus as your weapon of choice, your next challenges will be scaling and managing Prometheus for your whole fleet of applications and environments. As the journey “From Zero to Prometheus Hero” is not trivial you will find obstacles on the way. In this talk we are highlighting the most common challenges we have seen and provide guidance on how to overcome them. Finally, we are discussing a solution to get you there more quickly to build automated, future-proof observability with Prometheus showing Keptn as one possible implementation.
About Jürgen:
Jürgen is a core contributor to the Keptn open-source project and responsible for the strategy and integration of self-healing techniques and tools into the Keptn framework. He also loves to share his experience, most recently at conferences on Kubernetes based technologies and automation.

Keptn provides an event-driven control plane for continuous delivery and automated operations.
MongoDB World 2019: Becoming an Ops Manager Backup Superhero!MongoDB
Oh no! My backups aren't progressing! If something happens in production now, and I don't have current backups, I'll be out of a job for sure!
If these words resonate with you, don’t worry; you’re not the only one! Backup issues are one of the most common topics we deal with in Technical Services. In this talk, we will go through the backup flow, talk about where things might go wrong, and the symptoms you will see in the logs and the UI. We will also talk about other commands you can run to confirm the diagnosis, and how support can assist if you’re still stuck. Finally, we will talk about the new backup architecture in 4.2 and how it simplifies some of these concerns. This session is suitable for those with all levels of Ops Manager experience, but attendees should have a basic understanding of MongoDB’s replication process before attending this session.
After this talk, you will have leveled up your backup superpowers, and can swoop in to save your job (and the day)!

This document discusses DDoS attacks and various techniques for mitigating them. It provides statistics on DDoS attacks from 2012, including the number of incidents and average/maximum botnet sizes. It then evaluates several approaches for detecting and blocking DDoS traffic, such as mod_evasive, iptables, Nginx testcookie module, and neural networks. The key message is that while many solutions can help, none are perfect, and maintaining system uptime requires a layered defense-in-depth approach along with protecting the underlying TCP stack. The homework suggested is to configure Nginx with ipset, harden the TCP stack, use dedicated IPs, and test blackholing capabilities.
Anatoly Sharifulin presents on developing apps using Perl. He discusses creating an app called DLTTR that allows users to delete tweets in bulk using asynchronous queues and APIs. The app was built with Mojolicious, uses a server API, and stores data in MySQL. It has been successful with over 1 million tweets deleted and thousands of users. The talk highlights how Perl helped enable the creation of this cross-platform app that deletes tweets quickly and appropriately.
Using SLOs for Continuous Performance Optimizations of Your k8s WorkloadsScyllaDB
The document discusses how SLOs (Service Level Objectives) can be used for continuous performance optimizations of Kubernetes workloads. It provides an overview of common performance issues like the N+1 query problem. It then describes how Keptn can be used to automate testing, analysis and remediation based on defined SLOs. Keptn establishes an event-driven workflow that orchestrates monitoring, deployments, testing and SLO evaluations to help optimize performance and ensure SLIs meet defined objectives. Real-world examples are provided of how Keptn has been used by companies to validate release readiness and environment stability.
Broken up into three core sections, this presentation tries to help explain why you monitor software, platforms and your products. What you can look for, and how to best get that information out of your code and finally how Sensu can be used to achieve this in a scalable platform.

Serverless in production, an experience report (London DevOps)Yan Cui
AWS Lambda has changed the way we deploy and run software, but this new serverless paradigm has created new challenges to old problems - how do you test a cloud-hosted function locally? How do you monitor them? What about logging and config management? And how do we start migrating from existing architectures? In this talk Yan and Domas will discuss solutions to these challenges by drawing from real-world experience running Lambda in production and migrating from an existing monolithic architecture.
OSMC 2010 | NSClient++ - what's new? And what's coming! by Michael MedinNETWAYS
A simple yet powerful and secure monitoring daemon for Windows operating systems, this is what a NSClient++ aims to be. It is built for Nagios, but nothing in the daemon is actually Nagios specific and with little or no change NSClient++ could be also integrated into any monitoring software that supports running user tools for polling. In this presentation we are going to look at the new features of NSClient++ 0.3.x. But perhaps more importantly looking at what’s coming in the 0.4.x version!
This document provides techniques for escalating privileges on Windows systems. It begins with an overview of tricks that can grant escalated privileges to users or administrators. Specific techniques discussed include exploiting misconfigurations, using keyloggers, searching for credentials on systems, exploiting Group Policy Preferences files, unattended installation files, Windows Deployment Services, binary path modifications, service configuration issues, and registry permissions problems. The document then covers methods for escalating from an administrative user to SYSTEM level privileges like using Metasploit exploits, Sysinternals tools, binary replacement, and WMIC. It concludes with sections on achieving persistence and bypassing authentication.
A follow on to the Encyclopedia Of Windows Privilege Escalation published by InsomniaSec at Ruxcon 2011, this talk is aimed at detailing not just escalation from user to admin and admin to system, but persistence and forced authentication as well as a few other treats.

WebPerformance: Why and How? – Stefan WintermeyerElixir Club
This document discusses techniques for improving web performance. It begins by explaining that websites that have many similar pages, like e-commerce sites, need to care about performance to avoid lower conversions and higher bounce rates. It then discusses metrics for perceived performance, with pages feeling sluggish over 100ms and users' attention typically dropping off after 1 second. The document provides examples of caching strategies in Rails like fragment caching at the row and table levels to improve performance. It also discusses leveraging the database instead of calculating values in the view. Other techniques mentioned include pre-heating caches during off-hours, leveraging HTTP caching with ETags, and using server-side caching to serve static files without application involvement.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
