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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
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:

Editor's Notes
Building the BlogKISS – Keep it simple 300-500 words (some even less)One idea per blog – make a promise and deliverGet to the point! Don’t ramble.Focus on Structure: Beginning, middle, endGrabber Headline with Keywords (David Ogilvy said that “5x as many people read the headline as read the body copy)Sub-headsShort sentences and paragraphs: 1-2 sentences eachKeywords and links in body copyBulletsBold wordsVisuals – photos, illustrations, charts, graphsSkimmable – short paragraphs, bullets, visuals, bold Shareable – add RSS, Share buttons, add email opt-in (for permission marketing later)Call to Action
Search Engine Optimization:SEO gets you higher SE rankings (SEO:not only so new clients can find you, existing clients can find out more about you)Use keywords in headline and throughout body copy – and in titles and descriptionsInclude links to sources of information and interestAlt text on imagesTag all postsCategorizeWrite excerpts!Video increases ranking by 50%
Guest Blogging:Good way to get a feel for blogging without committing to your own siteResearch blogs in your industry to find out those that your audience would followBe sure to optimize your posts (links, keywords, alt text, etc.)Guest blogs often have a larger audience than your blog = readers Tweet, post, comment and go to your site/blog and sign upExpands your reach and audienceGuest blogs are a good place to use existing content
Blog 2x per week – one longer piece, one shorter (tips – identifying visual)A recent personal blog (Marathon training) had 3x the reach of usual post + comments/emails/etc.
Results: Martha Spelman: Blog Content w/keywords = getting found on Google = PitchSherwood Group: For the last 5 years he got all of his work from the internet. Best tip: Google PlacesMartha Spelman: Sending blog to client list > client referralGil Morales: gilmoreport.com – turned a subscription website ($50. per month x 2000 subscribers)And SelfishInvesting.com (also subscription) uses blog and social media to promote site, books, etc. “Better than TV” Can see how “blasting” works
