Lightning: A Natural Energy Source
Lightning is a natural phenomenon that has been a source of fire and energy throughout history. When lightning strikes sand, it forms fulgurite tubes made of fused quartz and sand. Benjamin Franklin's famous kite experiment proved that lightning produces an electrical charge, demonstrating it as a potential energy source. Harnessing lightning is challenging due to its quick, random strikes, but some attempts have been made and future technology may enable capturing its energy, which could power a household for a month from a single bolt. Researchers are exploring how lightning could have contributed to the formation of early biological molecules and how modern society could benefit from the energy in billions of annual lightning strikes.

The fire had significant economic impacts but benefited the forestry industry and promoted new plant growth and biodiversity in the burned area.
Crowsnest Pass Fires
A large wildfire produced a wall of flames over 6 km long and 50 meters high, releasing energy equivalent to an atomic bomb every 30 minutes. A resident was asked to evacuate and couldn't collect her belongings as she watched the flames approach. Local businesses were able to use burnt lumber for materials and had salvage rights, but tourism and timber industries suffered as 20,000 hectares of forest were burnt down. Over time, burned areas create new diversity and inhibit undergrowth under large stands of timber, though initially the land looks black and devoid of life.

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.
