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:

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.
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.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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:

7. There will not be only one blockchain, or a chain-of-all-chains.
There will be many public chains and millions of private chains, potentially each
with a different consensus mechanism, preferred smart contract
language/mechanism, and other characteristics.
The more common code underlying these chains, the better for everyone.
This is still early days – perhaps like 1994 and the Web?

Shared Ledger
contains the current world state of the ledger and
a Blockchain of transaction invocations
encapsulates business network transactions in
code. transaction invocations result in gets and
sets of ledger state
a collection of network data and processing peers
forming a Blockchain network. Responsible for
maintaining a consistently replicated ledger
manages identity and transaction certificates, as
well as other aspects of permissioned access
creates notifications of significant operations on the Blockchain
(e.g. a new block), as well as notifications related to smart
contracts. Does not include event distribution.
provides the ability to create, change and monitor Blockchain
components
securely manages a user’s security credentials
responsible for integrating Blockchain bi-directionally with
external systems. Not part of Blockchain, but used with it.

Node D
Validating
Node E Blockchain Network A chain network that services
solutions built for a particular industry.
Shared Ledger: Records all transactions across business network
Consensus: Transaction validation & commitment

Chaincode
Chaincode
Proprietor(s) setup and define the
purpose of a chain network. They are the
stakeholders of a network.
Auditors(s): Individuals or organizations
with the permission to interrogate
transactions and the blockchain network.
Solution Users: end users typically initiatetransactions
on a chain network through applications made available
by solutions providers.
Non-Validating node: Constructs
transactions and forwards them to
validating nodes. Peer nodes keep
a copy of all transaction records
so that solution providers can
query them locally.
Solution Provider: Organizations that
develop mobile/web applications for
solution users to access chain networks.,
they own either NV or Validating node.
Public transactions:
transactions with its
payload in the clear
Membership Service (PKI)
ECA TCA TLS-CAReg. A
Registration Authority: Assigns registration username & registration password pairs to network
participants. This username/password pair will be used to acquire enrollment certificate from ECA.
Enrollment CA (ECA): Issues enrollment certificates (ECert) to network participants that have already
registered with a membership service. ECerts are long term certificates used to identify individual entities
participating in one or more networks.
Transaction CA (TCA): Issues transaction certificates (TCerts) to ECert owners. An infinite number of
TCerts can be derived from each ECert. TCerts are used by network participants to send transactions.
TLS CA: Issues TLS certificates to systems that transmit messages in a chain network. TLS certificates are
used to secure the communication channel between systems.
Chaincode (Smart Contract): Application
logics stored and executed on the blockchain.
Chaincode State: Chaincodes access
internal state storage through state APIs.
States are created and updated by
transactions calling chaincode functions with
state accessing logic.
Confidential transactions:
transactions where its payload is
encrypted and is only visible to
stakeholders of this transaction
Confidential chaincode:
chaincodes that only pre-defined
subset of validators can view and
execute

19. Hugely successful Sotheby’s auction
Every lot exceeds its reserve price and is sold on the night
The collection is split up and acquired by three art collectors
Charlie, Dave and Edwina who are tech savvy and want to loan each other works
Sotheby’s sets up a secure private asset management system
Alice deploys chaincode and makes Bob the administrator
Sotherby’s initializes asset management system
Bob loads auction results – ensuring each lot is allocated to correct collector
Demo – Scenario

20. Demo – Asset Management
The asset management chaincode is a simple example designed to show how to exercise
access control at the chaincode level as described in this document:
https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/master/docs/tech/application-ACL.md
The chaincode exposes the following functions:
init(user): Initialize the chaincode assigning to user the role of administrator
assign(asset, user): Assigns the ownership of asset to user. Notice that, this function can be
invoked only by an administrator
transfer(asset, user): Transfer the ownership of asset to user. Notice that this function can
be invoked only by the owner of asset
query(asset): Returns the identifier of the owner of asset

Chris: blockchain creates ability for multiple competing parties to securely interact with the same universal source of truth
Business Networks benefit from connectivity
Connected customers, suppliers, banks, partners
Cross geography & regulatory boundary
Wealth is generated by flow of goods & services across business network
Markets are central to this process:
Public (fruit market, car auction), or
Private (supply chain financing, bonds)
Participants - members of a business network
Customer, Supplier, Government, Regulator
Have specific identities and roles
Transaction - an asset transfer
John gives a car to Anthony (simple)
Contract - conditions for transaction to occur
Records all transactions across business network
Shared between participants
Participants have own copy through replication
Permissioned, so participants see only appropriate transactions
THE shared system of record
