1 like•426 views
DIRA is a compile-time solution that provides automatic detection, identification, and repair of control-hijacking attacks. It uses memory updates logging to maintain a runtime log of all changes to a program's memory state. This log is used to detect attacks by checking for changes to control pointers, identify attacks by tracing data back to its source, and repair attacks by restoring memory states from pre-images in the log.

Offensive cyber security: Smashing the stack with Python
: A necessary step in writing secure code is having an understanding of how vulnerable code can be exploited. This step is critical because unless you see the software from the vantage point of a hacker, what may look to be safe and harmless code, can have multiple vulnerabilities that result in systems running that software getting p0wned. The goal of this tech talk is to provide a step-by-step illustration of how not adhering to secure software design principles such as properly bounds checking buffers can open up computing devices to exploitation. Specifically, we will show that by using a very easy to use scripting language like python, we can do the following: 1) Smash the stack of a system running vulnerable code to gain arbitrary access. 2) Install a key logger that can phone home to a command and control server.

09 implementing+subprograms
Implementing subprograms requires saving execution context, allocating activation records, and maintaining dynamic or static chains. Activation records contain parameters, local variables, return addresses, and dynamic/static links. Nested subprograms are supported through static chains that connect activation records. Dynamic scoping searches the dynamic chain for non-local variables, while shallow access uses a central variable table. Blocks are implemented as parameterless subprograms to allocate separate activation records for block variables.

Linux basics
This document discusses fundamentals of low-level I/O and process creation in Unix systems. It covers:
1) Low-level I/O using system calls for opening, reading, writing and moving within files using file descriptors.
2) Program creation and execution using the exec family of system calls to launch new programs and fork() to create new processes from the parent process.
3) Process termination and waiting for child processes to finish using system calls.
Unix processes
1. A C program starts when the kernel calls a special startup routine which sets up arguments and calls the main function.
2. A process can terminate normally by returning from main, calling exit or _exit, or abnormally by signals or calling abort. exit performs cleanup while _exit returns immediately.
3. The kernel supports processes through a process table, region table, and per-process data structures. A process contains text, data, stack segments and open file descriptors.
Unit 5 dwqb ans
Unit 5 discusses file handling in C programming. It defines a file as a collection of bytes stored on disk where related data is stored. There are two main types of file accessing: sequential and random. Sequential files are processed line-by-line while random accessing allows accessing any point in the file. Common file handling functions in C include fopen(), fclose(), fread(), fwrite(), fseek(), ftell() among others. Files are needed to permanently store data for programs to access even after terminating. Reading from files uses functions like fscanf() while writing uses fprintf(). The key aspects of files, records and fields are also discussed along with examples of reading and writing to files in C.
Chap 2 structure of c programming dti2143
The document discusses the basic structure of computer programming, including the typical program development environment consisting of six phases: editing/writing, preprocessing, compiling, linking, loading, and executing. It also covers preprocessor directives, the main program structure, data types, variable declarations, common programming errors, and basic C syntax elements like identifiers, variables, constants, and comments.
FIR filter on GPU
This document discusses the implementation of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter on a graphics processing unit (GPU). It outlines how FIR filters can be represented using textures on the GPU and implemented using fragment programs. The performance of FIR filters and related transformations implemented on the GPU is evaluated. Texture upload and download between GPU and main memory accounts for up to 60% of the total processing time. While GPU computation is faster than CPU for these algorithms, optimization techniques from CPU programming do not always apply to the GPU.

The document summarizes FORECAST, a system that can automatically generate accurate context-aware signatures for control-hijacking attacks from a single instance. FORECAST instruments programs to log all memory updates, allowing it to identify control and data dependencies at runtime. When an attack is detected, the memory update log is used to generate a signature representing each attack packet as a regular expression. FORECAST was tested on several network services and able to generate accurate signatures within seconds.

RDB - Repairable Database Systems
The document describes a framework called RDB that can make databases intrusion-resilient by tracking transaction dependencies and enabling selective transaction rollback. RDB inserts a proxy driver between the database and clients to intercept SQL statements and track reads and writes. It stores dependency information and transaction metadata to enable analyzing the log and visualizing dependencies after an intrusion to generate compensating transactions for repairing the database. The overhead of the framework is between 6-13% according to benchmarks.
DUSK - Develop at Userland Install into Kernel
DUSK is a framework that allows kernel modules to be developed at the user level by compiling them into a user-level program while still maintaining the performance of running in the kernel.

DUSK supports Netfilter modules initially and aims to provide an easier development process for kernel modules.
RDB - Repairable Database Systems
This document proposes an approach called RDB that can render databases intrusion resilient by tracking transaction dependencies and enabling selective transaction rollback. It discusses challenges in determining which transactions were malicious after a compromise and repairing databases. RDB inserts a proxy that intercepts SQL statements to track dependencies by adding transaction IDs to rows and logs. It then analyzes logs to reconstruct dependencies and generate compensating transactions to selectively rollback malicious transactions and repair the database. Experiments show the proxy overhead is between 6-13% for typical loads.

LLVM
The document discusses the LLVM compiler framework and infrastructure. It provides reusable components for building compilers to reduce the time and cost of building new compilers. The LLVM compiler framework uses the LLVM infrastructure to build static compilers, JITs, and trace-based optimizers. It emits C code or native code for x86, Sparc, and PowerPC architectures. The three primary LLVM components are the virtual instruction set (the common language- and target-independent intermediate representation), a collection of well-integrated libraries, and a collection of tools built from the libraries.
2010.hari_kannan.phd_thesis.slides.pdf
The document describes a hardware-assisted approach called Dynamic Information Flow Tracking (DIFT) to provide practical and efficient software security. A flexible hardware design is proposed that works with unmodified binaries to track tainted data from untrusted sources and check for unsafe uses. A key idea is to offload DIFT operations to a separate coprocessor to minimize changes to the main processor core while providing robust, flexible and practical end-to-end security with low overhead. System calls are used as synchronization points between the main core and DIFT coprocessor to prevent exploits while maintaining the DIFT security model. Experiments show the approach can detect various attacks without false positives in real-world applications and unmodified binaries.
Buffer overflow tutorial
This document provides instructions for conducting a buffer overflow attack on a vulnerable C program to alter its execution flow. It explains how functions are called and stored on the stack, and how overflowing a buffer can overwrite the return address to point to attacker-chosen code. The document demonstrates compiling a sample program, running it under a debugger to find addresses, and using a Python script to send an overly long input exploiting the buffer overflow to execute a secret function.

Understanding highly-concurrent, kernel-level, and intentionally-obfuscated programs are among the problem domains that spawned the field of dynamic program analysis. More than mere debuggers, the challenge of dynamic analysis tools is to be able record, analyze, and replay execution without sacrificing performance. This talk will provide an introduction to the dynamic analysis research space and hopefully inspire you to consider integrating these techniques into your own internal tools.
C programming language tutorial
The document provides an overview of the C programming language. It states that C was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs and was used to develop the UNIX operating system. The document then covers various features of C like it being a mid-level programming language, having structured programming, pointers, loops, functions, arrays, and more. It provides examples to explain concepts like input/output functions, data types, operators, control structures, and pointers.
Buffer overflow attacks
This document discusses buffer overflow attacks. It begins with an introduction that defines a buffer overflow and examples like the Morris worm. It then explains how buffer overflows work by corrupting the stack and overwriting return addresses. Methods for implementing buffer overflows using Metasploit and injecting shellcode are provided. Countermeasures like stack canaries and bounds checking are described. The document concludes that while defenses have improved, legacy systems remain vulnerable and buffer overflows remain a problem.
Secure Programming
In this presentation, we try to teach programmers how to avoid security flaws in the code.
The presentation is of the format of problem->solution->problem....
Given a piece of code the attendees have to identify the security bugs in it and the suggest a fix. Now, the attendees have to find security bugs in the fix. The exercise goes on and the attendees become secure code aware.

Application Security
The document summarizes application security best practices. It discusses who is responsible for application security and design considerations like authentication, authorization, privacy and data integrity. It then covers security principles like designing for security by default and in deployment. Top application vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting and access control issues are explained along with remedies. Finally, it provides checklists for designers, developers and testers to follow for application security.
Unit 1
The document discusses object oriented programming concepts. It describes key object oriented programming concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and message passing. It also discusses benefits of object oriented programming like modularity, reusability and extensibility. Some disadvantages discussed are compiler overhead, runtime overhead and need for reorientation of developers to object oriented thinking. The document also covers C++ programming concepts like data types, control flow, functions, arrays, strings, pointers and storage classes.
Pragmatic Optimization in Modern Programming - Demystifying the Compiler
This document discusses compiler optimizations. It begins with an outline of topics including compilation trajectory, intermediate languages, optimization levels, and optimization techniques. It then provides more details on each phase of compilation, how compilers use intermediate representations to perform optimizations, and specific optimizations like common subexpression elimination, constant propagation, and instruction scheduling.
Unit 5 quesn b ans5
The document discusses various C preprocessor directives and storage classes in C.
1. It defines storage class specifier and mentions the different types of storage classes - auto, extern, static, and register. It distinguishes between auto and register storage classes.
2. It explains what extern storage class means and provides an example. It identifies the storage class of a variable defined within a code block.
3. It discusses various preprocessor directives like #define, #undef, #if, #else, #include and explains their usage with examples.
Virtual platform
This document discusses building a virtual platform for the OpenRISC architecture using SystemC and transaction-level modeling. It covers setting up the toolchain, writing test programs, and simulating the platform using event-driven or cycle-accurate simulation with Icarus Verilog or the Vorpsoc simulator. The virtual platform allows fast development and debugging of OpenRISC code without requiring physical hardware.
Swift profiling middleware and tools
The document discusses proposals for implementing profiling middleware and tools for Swift. It outlines a profiling architecture that would inject profiling at the system, process, code and line level granularity. Profiling data would be collected and stored in a multi-dimensional model covering dimensions like time, workload, system and code metrics. Open source profiling tools could then be used to analyze and visualize the data to identify performance bottlenecks.
Unix system programming
This document discusses the key differences between ANSI C and K&R C. It covers four main points: 1) Function prototyping in ANSI C allows compilers to check for invalid function calls, unlike in K&R C. 2) ANSI C supports the const and volatile qualifiers. 3) ANSI C supports internationalization with wide characters and setlocale. 4) ANSI C allows function pointers to be used without dereferencing. The document provides examples to illustrate each point.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:
