Tanzania /ˌtænzəˈniːə/,[13] officially the United Republic of Tanzania (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania), is a country in East Africa within the African Great Lakes region. It is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west; Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south; and the Indian Ocean to the east. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is in northeastern Tanzania.
Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. Tanzania's population of 51.82 million (2014)[14] is diverse, composed of several ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. Tanzania is a presidential constitutional republic, and since 1996, its official capital has been Dodoma, where the President's Office, the National Assembly, and some government ministries are located.[15] Dar es Salaam, the former capital, retains most government offices and is the country's largest city, principal port, and leading commercial centre.[16][17][18]

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

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).

2. • The Black Sea is bounded by Europe, Anatolia and
the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via
the Mediterranean and the Aegean seas and various straits.
The Bosphorus strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the
strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region
of the Mediterranean. These waters separate eastern
Europe and western Asia. The Black Sea is also connecte to the Sea
of Azov by the Strait of Kerch.
3. • The Black Sea has an area of 436,400 km2 (168,500
sq mi) (not including the Sea of Azov), a maximum
depth of 2,212 m (7,257 ft), and a volume of 547,000
km3.The Black Sea forms in an east-west trending
elliptical depression which lies
between Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey
, and Ukraine. It is constrained by the Pontic
Mountains to the south, the Caucasus Mountains to
the east and features a wide shelf to the northwest.
The longest east-west extent is about 1,175 km.
4. • The Black Sea has a positive water balance; that
is, a net outflow of water 300 km3 per year
through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles into
the Aegean Sea. Mediterranean water flows into
the Black Sea as part of a two-way hydrological
exchange. The Black Sea outflow is cooler and
less saline, and floats over the warm, more
saline Mediterranean inflow -because of density
difference due to salinity-, leading to a
significant anoxic layer well below the surface
waters. The Black Sea also receives river water
from large Eurasian fluvial systems to the north
of the Sea, of which
the Don, Dnieper and Danube are the most
significant.
5. Geology and bathymetry
• The modern basin is divided into two sub-basins by a
convexity extending south from the Crimean Peninsula. The
large shelf to the north of the basin is up to 190 km wide, and
features a shallow apron with gradients between 1:40 and
1:1000. The southern edge around Turkey and the western
edge around Georgia, however, are typified by a narrow shelf
that rarely exceeds 20 km in width and a steep apron that is
typically 1:40 gradient with numerous submarine canyons and
channel extensions. The Euxine abyssal plain in the centre of
the Black Sea reaches a maximum depth of 2,212 m
(7,257.22 ft) just south of Yalta on the Crimean Peninsula.
The littoral zone of the Black Sea is often referred to as the Pontic littoral.
6. Hydrology and hydrochemistry
• The Black Sea is the world’s largest meromictic basin where
the deep waters do not mix with the upper layers
of water that receive oxygen from the atmosphere. As a
result, over 90% of the deeper Black Sea volume is anoxic
water. The current hydrochemical configuration is primarily
controlled by basin topography and fluvial inputs, which
result in a strongly stratified vertical structure and a positive
water balance. The upper layers are generally cooler, less
dense and less salty than the deeper waters, as they are fed
by large fluvial systems, whereas the deep waters originate
from the warm, salty waters of the Mediterranean. This
influx of dense water from Mediterranean is balanced by an
outflow of fresher Black Sea surface-water into the Marmara
Sea, maintaining the stratification and salinity levels.
7. • The Black Sea supports an active and dynamic marine
Ecology ecosystem, dominated by species suited to the brackish,
nutrient-rich, conditions. As with all marine food webs, the
Black Sea features a range of trophic groups,
with autotrophic algae, includingdiatoms and dinoflagellates,
acting as primary producers. The fluvial systems draining
Eurasia and central Europe introduce large volumes of sediment
and dissolved nutrients into the Black Sea, but distribution of
these nutrients is controlled by the degree of physiochemical
stratification, which is, in turn, dictated by seasonal
physiographic development. During winter, strong wind
promotes convective overturning and upwelling of nutrients,
while high summer temperatures result in a marked vertical
stratification and a warm, shallow mixed layer. Day length
and insolation intensity also controls the extent of the photic
zone. Subsurface productivity is limited by nutrient availability,
as the anoxic bottom waters act as a sink for reduced nitrate, in
the form of ammonia. The benthic zone also plays an important
role in Black Sea nutrient cycling, as chemosynthetic organisms
and anoxic geochemical pathways recycle nutrients which can
be upwelled to the photic zone, enhancing productivity
8. The effect of pollution on Black Sea
ecology Pollution reduction and

industrial expansion along the
Black Sea coast line and the
regulation efforts have led to construction of a major dam

9. History
• The Black Sea was a busy waterway on the crossroads of the ancient
world: the Balkans to the West, the Eurasian steppes to the north,
Caucasus and Central Asia to the East, Asia Minor and Mesopotamia
to the south, and Greece to the south-west. The oldest processed
gold in the world, arguably left by Old Europeans, was found in
Varna, and the Black Sea was supposedly sailed by the Argonauts.
The land at the eastern end of the Black Sea, Colchis, (now Georgia),
marked for the Greeks an edge of the known world. The steppes to
the north of the Black Sea have been suggested as the original
homeland (Urheimat) of the speakers of the Proto-Indo-European
language, (PIE) the progenitor of the Indo-European
language family, by some scholars (see Kurgan; others move the
heartland further east towards the Caspian Sea, yet others
to Anatolia). Numerous ancient ports line Black Sea's coasts, some
older than the pyramids.
• The Black Sea was a significant naval theatre of World War I and saw
both naval and land battles during World War II.
