What is SPYWARE?
Spyware is a type of malware that's hard to detect.
It collects information about your surfing habits, browsing history, or personal information (such as credit card numbers), and often uses the internet to pass this information along to third parties without you knowing.
o Key loggers are a type of spyware that monitors your key strokes.
Spyware is mostly classified into four types:
1.System monitors
2.Trojans
3.Adware
4.Tracking Cookies
spyware is mostly used for the purposes of tracking and storing internet users' movements on the web and serving up pop-up ads to internet users.
History and development of spyware.
The first recorded on October 16, 1995 in a UseNet post that poked fun at microsoft's business model.

A computer virus is a malware program that when executed replicates by inserting copies of itself into other computer programs, data files. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be infected. Viruses often perform some type of harmful activity on the infected hosts such as accessing private information, corrupting data or even rendering the computer useless. However, not all viruses carry a destructive payload or attempt to hide themselves.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

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:

than program viruses.
6. these viruses infects program files,whic
-h have extensions such as
.COM,.EXE.,SYS.,DLL,.OVL, or
.SCR.program files are attractive
targets for computer virus because
they are widely used and have
relativity,simple formates to which
viruses can attach themselves.
7. These viruses infects data files.for
example,microsoft,word document and
template files are suspectible to macro
virus attacks they spread rapidly as
infected documents are shared on
networks or downloaded from internet
sites.
8. a virus tries to take control of computer
system it has infected at the first
oppurtunity availible.it makes copies
of itself and also try to carry harmful
task written in its program.this process
can happen so quicly that the user is
not even aware of the presense of a
virus in his/her computer.
