Digital TV in Thailand Engineering Journal of ThailandYOZZO
As Digital TV is getting ready to launch in Thailand, local and foreign set-top-box, television, mobile devices and in-car entertainment manufactures, are also ramping up their activities for the digital broadcasts.
Consumers buying pattern from markets who already have introduced DVB-T2 Set-Top Boxes or Televisions, shows a special buying pattern from consumers. The majority will wait to purchase to the last months before the analog signal is switched off, which leaves a huge gap between launch and shutdown that needs to be explored to keep momentum.
To address the huge gap, it is necessary to think “inside the box”, and focus on solutions that brings value added service in order to cater to more segments.
The document discusses a PC card from Tenow that has 4 satellite tuners, which the editor sees as innovative because it allows consumers to watch and record multiple TV channels simultaneously. The editor argues this is necessary to keep up with the abundance of channels available today. He believes consumers should be able to watch as many channels as they want, both sequentially and in parallel. The TELE-satellite Innovation Award for this 4-tuner product recognizes Tenow for creating hardware that can keep pace with the ever-expanding world of TV content and choices.

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.

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).

ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Very powerful satellite and media
receiver
with endless features
In an earlier TELE-satellite issue (08-09/2010) we reported on AB IPBox,
a new receiver manufacturer from Slovakia. Now we have our hands on
their flagship model, the AB IPBox 9900HD Plus. This twin-tuner model
comes with two DVB-S2 tuners. A 9900HD model is also available which
is identical except that it has a choice of second tuner from a second
DVB-S, DVB-C (cable) or DVB-T (terrestrial). All the IPBox receivers
in this range run Enigma2 HD – a version of the open source Linux
operating system. So this is effectively a specialist satellite-receiving
computer in a satellite receiver-sized box. The amount of functions and
options available are amazing, and the promise of additional add-ons
and plug-ins make it really exciting for those who like to customise and
enhance their experience.

To regular readers of TELE-satellite the company Doebis from Mündersbach in
Germany might ring a bell. It is a wholesale dealer offering an extensive product range
combined with excellent customer service, and it is a business that readily endorses
cutting-edge technology for the benefit its customers. Now Doebis has taken another
leap and is launching its own line of receivers, with the first offspring jumping right
in the middle of a market niche that has recently
appeared in the German market. There, commercial
networks have teamed up to use the new HD+
standard which allows reception of the HD versions of
these commercial stations next to all other free-to-air
DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels. Doebis distributes the
new set-top box under the trade name Jaeger.
