WHITE PAPER: Threats to Virtual Environments - Symantec Security Response TeamSymantec
Virtualization in enterprises has been a growing trend for years, offering attractive opportunities for scaling, efficiency, and flexibility. According to Forrester Research1, over 70 percent of organizations are planning to use server virtualization by the end of 2015.
Often, companies delay implementing virtualization due to security concerns or adopt virtualization before deploying advanced security measures. However, virtual machines and their hosting servers are not immune to attack. Introducing virtualization technology to a business creates new attack vectors that need to be addressed, such as monitoring the virtual networks between virtual machines. We have seen malware specifically designed to compromise virtual machines and have observed attackers directly targeting hosting servers. Around 18 percent of malware detects virtual machines and stops executing if it arrives on one.
Virtual systems are increasingly being used to automatically analyze and detect malware. Symantec has noticed that attackers are creating new methods to avoid this analysis. For example, some Trojans will wait for multiple left mouse clicks to occur before they decrypt themselves and start their payload. This can make it difficult or impossible for an automated system to come to an accurate conclusion about the malware in a short timeframe. Attackers are clearly not ignoring virtual environments in their plans, so these systems need to be protected as well.
Symantec announced new offerings to create a trusted ecosystem of applications and partners to help businesses accelerate the execution of their mobility initiatives. The offerings include two new programs – the App Center Ready Program for application developers and the Mobility Solution Specialization Program for channel partners – as well as a single mobile suite spanning device management, application management and mobile security.

Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical system by sharing hardware resources. It provides isolation between virtual machines using a virtual machine monitor. Virtualization provides benefits like server consolidation, running legacy applications, sandboxing, and business continuity. However, it also presents risks if not properly secured, such as increased attack channels, insecure communications between virtual machines, and virtual machine sprawl consuming excess resources. Security measures are needed at the hypervisor, host, virtual machine, and network layers to harden the virtualization environment against threats.
Virtualization introduces new security risks but also opportunities to enhance security. Key risks include attacks on the hypervisor, virtual environments from within, and virtual machine management interfaces. However, virtualization also allows security software to have deeper control of physical resources like memory and CPU outside of the OS. Technologies like VMsafe aim to provide dedicated security virtual machines that filter network traffic and protect memory and processor operations to address these risks. While promising increased security, VMsafe CPU/Memory also faces performance challenges from VM context switching overhead.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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 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.
