The document discusses configuring JBoss to work behind a firewall by modifying socket-based services that open listening ports. It lists several key JBoss services that open ports by default, including the naming service on port 1098, invoker services on ports 4444 and 4445, and others. It provides the configuration files and attributes to modify ports for each service.
The document analyzes vulnerabilities found in web applications through various scanning methods. It finds that over 48% of scanned web applications were not compliant with PCI DSS requirements when assessed through ASV scanning. However, a deeper analysis showed that nearly 99% of web applications were actually not compliant with the PCI DSS security standards. Administration flaws accounted for about 20% more vulnerabilities than code-based issues, and whitebox testing was necessary to detect many vulnerabilities that other methods missed.
This document introduces concepts related to securing Java web applications, including:
- Authentication methods like JAAS and how it integrates with applications servers like JBoss.

A software bug is an error in a computer program that produces unexpected or incorrect results. Security bugs compromise authentication, authorization, data confidentiality, or integrity. Hackers find security bugs through reverse engineering code or fuzzing software to discover vulnerabilities. An exploit is a piece of code that activates a bug to run malicious code. Shellcode is typically used as the payload in an exploit to gain control of a compromised system. Cyber attacks can target individuals, networks, or remote systems. Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are sophisticated, well-funded hacking groups that persistently target specific entities over long periods using social engineering and zero-day exploits. APT attacks involve penetrating targets, spreading to other systems, aggregating data, and covert

Firmitas Cyber Solutions - Inforgraphic - Mirai Botnet - A few basic facts on a world-wide epidemic
500,000 Vulnerable Devices
More than 500k of vulnerable devices found globally.
The malware exploited 62 default router & camera passwords, as well as TR-064 and TR-069 OS Command-Injection vulnerabilities.
120,000 Successful Infections (per day)
72,000 unique IPs infected in 12 hours, ~4000 new IPs per hour.
The worm is still running and new variants of it are released daily into the wild taking over more devices. Most of the devices are home /office routers, and CCTV cameras.
1.5 Tbps - Mirai: DDoS Record-Holder
Until Mirai, the world-record DDoS attacks reached 600 Gbps.
In 2014, the the average size of a DDoS attack was 7.39 Gbps.
2015 saw an increase to 500 Gbps.
In October 2016, Mirai ascended to the next level.
Mirai vs. Other IoT Botnets
Mirai - 500k infections, 1.5 Tbps DDoS
GayFgt/LizKebab/Torlus/Kaiten/Tsunami/PNScan/Qbot - 120k infections, 655 Gbps DDoS
Linux/IRCTelnet (new Aidra) - 3.5k infections, 100.5 Gbps DDoS
LizardStresser - 118k infections, 400 Gbps DDoS
Aidra (Carna/Darlloz) - 420k infections, 1.26 Tbps DDoS
Home & office routers, CCTV cameras, smart watches, and the IoT devices of the new era are becoming the main targets for remote takeover. DDoS and Crypto-Currency mining are main reasons, but the future holds more "attractions", more risks, and more target devices.
Firmitas solutions can be used to actively protect IoT devices, and prevent any unexpected/unintended behavior.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Â
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE VisionDianaGray10

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
