The Power of the Digital Us: Obama and BeyondMer Joyce
These are the slide from a talk by Mary Joyce, the Obama campaign's New Media Operations Manager, given at the re:publica blogger conference in Berlin, April, 2009.
In democracies, demonstrating is a legitimate way for citizens to let their officials know how they feel about important topics and try to change policies or attitudes. Peaceful demonstrations are powerful to keep the checks and balances in democracies. As we have seen over the ages (going back to Roman times), once demonstrations turn into riots, democracies are shaken to the core. During a riot, the fine line between being an activist and a criminal is often crossed.
For law enforcement, restoring and keeping order is a challenge. It involves identifying the agitators, those actors who believe that violent means justify the cause, and those who join demonstrations (often in other cities) to create trouble. Law enforcement needs to have the tools to identify and separate the bad apples from the rest to protect the fundamental democratic right to demonstrate.

The role of Research Assistant is a flexible contract position.
It will allow a young professional, graduate student, or skilled undergraduate interested in social change the opportunity to practice and learn a range of skills related to qualitative research methods as they are used in the measurement of social change projects.
The role will be largely virtual, with occasional in-person meetings with a project supervisor if the applicant lives in Seattle. Though the Research Assistant will have some scheduled work when surveying research subjects, work will be largely independent. Over the next four months, working time is not expected to exceed five (5) hours per week.
The position of Data Assistant is a flexible contract position.
It will allow a young professional, graduate student, or skilled undergraduate interested in social change the opportunity to practice a range of skills related to basic statistical analysis as it is used to measure the effectiveness of social change projects.
The role is extremely flexible. It will be largely virtual, with occasional in-person meetings with a project supervisor if the applicant lives in Seattle. The Data Assistant will thus work largely independently and be free to determine their own work hours. Over the next four months, total work is not expected to exceed thirty (30) hours total and will also not exceed five (5) hours in any given week.

Video Impact Assessment: Closing the Impact GapMer Joyce
Last month I created an assessment for an international foundation on the impact of their video grants. The assessment (below) includes analysis and visualization of how 37 grantees used video in their advocacy work, and the effects of that use.
For this project I first analyzed grantee self-reports on how they were using video. I then developed a model comparing grantee activities and outcomes and finally visualized this analysis in the form of an easily skimmable “report card” for each grantee. This public version includes 10 representative reports from among the original 37.
These slides present and explain the three fundamental stages of communication strategy – vision, audit, and snapshot – along with the steps needed to achieve them.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
