Corrosion occurs via an electrochemical process involving an anode, cathode, and electrolyte. At the anode, metal atoms lose electrons and form positively charged ions, while at the cathode electrons are accepted. The electrolyte carries ions between the anode and cathode, enabling the flow of electrons. Proper surface preparation is critical for coating adhesion and longevity. It involves removing contaminants and increasing surface area via abrasive blasting or other methods. Abrasive blasting roughens the surface, forming a profile that improves adhesion through mechanical interlocking and chemical bonding between the coating and substrate.

Fretting corrosion occurs due to micro-motion between mating electrical connector surfaces, which causes wear and the formation of abrasive corrosion products. It can degrade signal quality, create errors, and increase resistance and heat. The most common causes are mechanically unstable systems that induce vibration, and repeated thermal expansion/contraction. To prevent fretting corrosion, the micro-motion between surfaces must be stopped through improved connector design, stabilizing components to limit vibration, and applying dry lubricants.

Liquid penetrate inspection is a non-destructive testing method used to identify surface-breaking defects. It works by applying a liquid penetrate that is drawn into defects via capillary action. Excess penetrate is removed and a developer is applied to pull trapped penetrate back to the surface, making defects visible. The process involves cleaning, applying penetrate, removing excess, applying developer, inspecting visually, and post-cleaning. Penetrate selection depends on the material and desired sensitivity level. Proper surface preparation, dwell time, and each step is important to obtain reliable results.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) allows inspection of materials and components without damaging them. Common NDT methods include visual testing, magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant testing, radiography, ultrasonic testing, and eddy current testing. These methods are used to detect surface or internal flaws in materials and evaluate characteristics without impairing future usefulness or serviceability. NDT plays an important role in quality control and safety across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
