It then discusses common security problems like systems being targets for thieves. Security can be threatened by threats and attacks, which are intentional violations like malware or accidental issues like denial of service attacks. The goals of security systems are integrity, secrecy and availability. Attacks use methods like masquerading, replay attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Security is protected at the physical, human, operating system and network levels. Measures include access control, encryption, authorization and detecting intrusions.
OS Security 2009
The document discusses the importance of operating system (OS) security and the challenges involved. It notes that OSes control hardware access and scheduling, so flaws can compromise all security. Modern OSes are multi-user and multi-tasking, requiring protection of processes, memory, I/O devices, and more. Key OS security functions include memory protection, file protection, authentication, and authorization. Mechanisms like separation, access controls, and complete mediation are important to enforce security policies.
Goals of protection
The document discusses the goals and methods of computer protection. It aims to control access to resources and prevent their unauthorized use. Hardware protection differentiates between user and monitor modes. The CPU protects modes through a mode bit, and switches to monitor for interrupts. Memory protection prevents processes from accessing memory not allocated to them. I/O protection makes I/O instructions privileged to monitor mode only. The goals are to share resources safely according to policies and minimize damage from misbehaving programs.
Windows Security in Operating System
The document provides information about Windows security concepts such as security contexts, security identifiers (SIDs), access tokens, account security, passwords, rights, permissions, and the latest security features in Windows 10. It explains that each running process is associated with a security context that includes the user's SID and group SIDs. It also describes what a SID contains and how SIDs are used to uniquely identify users and groups. The document outlines where tokens and SIDs are located in Windows and what components make up an access token. It discusses various account security and password policies that can be configured in Windows.
Keyloggers and Spywares
Keyloggers and spyware are programs that can monitor users' computer activity without their consent. Keyloggers record keyboard input like passwords, while spyware tracks web browsing and transmits the collected information. There are hardware and software versions of keyloggers, with hardware versions like devices plugged into keyboards and replacement keyboards containing the monitoring programs. Spyware comes in various forms like tracking cookies, browser hijacking, and keyloggers that observe online habits for advertising or other purposes. Both keyloggers and spyware can invade users' privacy and security without their knowledge.
Security & Protection in Operating System
Operating systems use protection and security techniques to counter threats to information. Protection involves guarding a user's data and programs from interference by other authorized users, while security guards against interference from unauthorized external entities. There are two facets to protection: secrecy, where only authorized users can access information, and privacy, where information is only used for its intended purpose. Security and protection policies are enforced through mechanisms like access control lists and authentication. The goals of security and protection are secrecy, privacy, authenticity, and integrity of information.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.pdf
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:
