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.

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.
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:

The History of Bad Armor, All Over Again...And Again!
1. A
CORRECTED
HISTORY
OF ARMOR
“A page of history is worth a pound of logic.”
--Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
2. 1916: After heavy WWI casualties,
the British Army led by Churchill
begins experimenting with tracked
tanks in combat to break the
deadlock of the trenches. Wheeled
armored cars get stuck in mud.
The U.S. Army is disinterested.
Only private companies experiment
with tracked tanks in the U.S.
November, 1917: British tanks
go into action as part of a
combined arms infantry, tanks,
artillery, aircraft team at the
battle of Cambrai. The tank is
proven effective at break-
Tanks: note no gun turrets! throughs and 2D mechanized
mobile warfare is born.
3. Oops…..
The U.S. is soon woefully
behind in tank technology.
Belatedly, the U.S. shows
interest. Patton is ordered to
establish an U.S. Army tank
school at Langres, France
in late 1917.
The first U.S. tank units
go into combat on-board foreign
FT17 Renault light tanks. U.S.
produced tanks are not available
until 1919 and are only copies of
European armor.
4. The “War to End All Wars”
ends in 1918. A short sighted
and budget conscious Army staff
disbands the U.S. Tank Corps
in 1920.
1922: The Tank Board is
established to define the future
role of tanks in the U.S. Army.
The primary considerations in
the decision-making process are
cost and the ability to move
the vehicles rapidly. Armor and
armament are sacrificed for
cost and weight. Tanks are
largely considered “infantry
support” weapons as they were
used in WWI.
5. British Reformers Like B.H. Liddell-Hart,
JFC Fuller and Percy Hobart create tank
units linked by radios to infiltrate through
enemy lines and collapse enemies with
2D mechanized infiltration tactics to win
battles without costly trench warfare. The
Allies thinking war has been abolished ignore
them and party in the “Roaring” 1920s. The
“party” is over in the ‘30s with the great
economic depression.
Unlike the victorious Allies, the Germans
listen and act on their reform ideas as
Hitler takes power and builds powerful
panzer divisions. They add a 3D
maneuver element with parachute and
glider Airborne troops
6. 1939: The Germans act on the
pre-war reformers and achieve
dramatic successes with massed
light tank led combined-arms
teams in Poland and France to
infiltrate then collapse enemy
armies by encirclements. Called
“Blitzkrieg” or lightning war,
their light tanks are fast,
cross-country mobile, well armored
and have effective main gun systems.
Oops…..
Behind again, the U.S. begins
to research better tank
designs and massed armor
tactics. As a result of poor
planning and limited vision,
the U.S. enters WWII with
inferior tank designs.
7. The Americans without a battlefield function
focused branch to oversee armored vehicle
development creates “mechanized cavalry”
in wheeled scout cars to avoid enemy
contact and report back enemy positions to
“cherry pick” where tanks will be used.
Tank destroyers with light armor protection
and open-tops would then destroy enemy
tanks. In North Africa, the German enemy
doesn’t co-operate and drops mortars and
artillery on the rubber-tired scout cars and
open-topped tank destroyers leaving burning
hulks and dead Soldiers all over the Kasserine
Pass. After many defeats in North Africa,
mechanized cavalry units are given tracked light
tanks and Armor branch is born to work around
Cavalry branch. Cavalry branch which is a
legitimate battlefield function is disbanded in
1944. U.S. Army tank development drifts into
tank vs. tank platform centricity under an
ill-defined “Armor” branch.
8. Oops…..
U.S. light/medium tanks perform
superbly in the Pacific against
dug-in enemy infantry, WWI-style.
However in Europe, they are
woefully outmatched when fighting
enemy tanks. German tanks are in .. Too late to save crews

defensive have switched to light Chaffees from faster,
heavy designs to compensate for more heavily gunned and

mass-produced light/medium tanks.
The U.S. will not have a heavy tank
comparable to the enemy until
late 1944….with the M26 Pershing
with 90mm main gun
9. By 1944, both the Axis and the
Allies have developed hand held
shaped-charge anti-tank weapons
for infantry. Most armored vehicles
fall easy prey to the new weapons.
Pundits herald the end of tanks
due to the advent of cheap, 2.36” Bazooka
effective anti-tank weapons.
Heavy armor on new heavy
tanks can defeat hand held
AT weapons. Thin-skinned
vehicles are still easy targets
for AT weapons so tanks get
progressively heavier and
heavier to lead 2D maneuvers
in the Cold War period after
Tiger 1 heavy tank
WWII.
10. Just like after WWI, after M4E8 “Easy Eight” Medium tank
WWII, the U.S. neglects
tank design. The U.S. fails
to build large numbers of
improved design tanks thinking
aircraft bombing with nuclear
weapons have made
conventional ground
wars obsolete.
Uh-oh…..
The “backwards” Soviets
“don’t get the memo” on
ground wars and continue to
mass-produce tanks and
develop further improvements
in tank technology.
11. Oops…..
As a result, the U.S. enters the
war in Korea without any tanks!
In desperation, WWII M4 Sherman
medium tanks on static display are
pressed into service. Our lighter
M24 Chaffee tanks are inferior to the
M24
T34/85 medium tanks of the enemy.
For the third time in the century,
the U.S. Army sends Soldiers to
die in a foreign land with inferior
equipment because of the false
view that tracked armored vehicles
had out-lived their usefulness

and were “too expensive”.

Fortunately, Israeli losses are
comparatively light and most
missile damaged tanks return to

impressive tank kill ratio Israel
enjoyed over the Arabs, almost
exclusively by main gun fire.
14. The Soviet Union with a long history of light tank designs develops light
weight, versatile, amphibious, air-mobile light tanks like the PT-76, ASU-
57, ASU-85, the BMD and BMP family of vehicles which are successful in
Vietnam, Chechloslavakia, Pakistan, Somalia and Afghanistan. In the ‘60s,
‘70s and early ‘80s it looks like the entire world will be over-run by the
communists.
Oops…..
The Russians continue to improve their light tanks so that today’s BMD-
3s and BMP-3s have powerful 100mm guns with 30mm autocannon and
medium machine gun armaments while able to carry an infantry squad
under armor. Others have 125mm guns. With waterjets they can swim
from ship-to-shore in the ocean. Meanwhile, the U.S. Army fails to add
turret weapons to its M113 Gavins, retires its M551 Sheridans and stops
training to swim across lakes/rivers to effect rapid 2D maneuvers like it
did in Vietnam, obsessed with heavy tank vs. tank combat, the U.S.

By the ‘70s, as the Cold War
simmers, the West has no tanks
that can match the latest
Soviet light, medium and heavy
tanks. And the tanks it does have
are fewer in quantity.
NATO bickers and wastes
money on the abortive MBT-70
heavy tank with kneeling track
suspension. The Russians
already field BMDs with kneeling
suspensions for parachute air
delivery. Not until the early ‘80s
with the deployment of the M1

somewhat match Soviet tank

20. In 1999, GEN. Eric Shinseki, Chief of
Staff of the U.S. Army, describes his “vision”
of the future. This homogenized, medium-
sized units-only, future requires ONLY a
lightly armored, infantry force in vulnerable
wheeled vehicles. Tracked tanks would be
replaced by wheeled LAV type armored cars
with computers to mentally avoid trouble to
hopefully compensate for reduced armor
protection by ”cherry-picking” when and
where the dismounted infantry fights.
Superior levels of physical protection,
firepower and go-anywhere mobility are not
needed. The Army declares that the 2D/3D
maneuver wars that tracked the AFVs were

General, we have made this mistake before…
“History informs us of past mistakes from which we can
learn without repeating them. “
--Judge William Hastie (1904 - 1976)
21. In 2003, the U.S. Army has to invade Iraq again and the
tracked force that was allegedly “legacy” saves the day
and reaches Baghdad to collapse the enemy center of
gravity when marines-in-trucks get stopped by enemy
RPGs and land mines despite “shock and awe” airstrikes
with “precision” computer guided bombs.
However, DoD and the Army thinks the war is over because

the Iraqi nation-state army is defeated by their WWII-style
blitzkrieg. This is actually 3rd generation warfare, but wars
are caused by PEOPLE and machines are just tools, we
forget that people can fight without belonging to a nation-
state army if our political end-state hasn’t taken over; this
is 4th generation warfare. Because the U.S. Army Airborne
hasn’t fully developed air-mech 3D maneuver with
upgraded M113 Gavin APCs and M8 Buford AGS light

Moreover, the costly $1 billion 300-Stryker armored car brigades
Shinseki wants are not ready or will ever be in quantity for the
large-scale occupations of countries like Iraq. Without the 100 divisions of
WWII, the enemy is all around and can attack in any direction at any time;
a Non-Linear Battlefield (NLB) where no place is safe for wheeled vehicles
to operate. The Army has to move its Soldiers around in vulnerable
HMMWV and other wheeled trucks to try to maintain nation-state order
on the 4th generation warfare battlefield where the center of gravity is the
loyalty of the people not just defeating an enemy nation-state army.
Casualties mount as enemy road-side bombs easily explode the vulnerable
wheeled vehicles despite computer “situational awareness”.
The enemy does not let us “cherry pick”

when and where battle will occur. It’s the
WWII scout car debacle all over again.
And the 5th war where U.S. troops have
been sent into battle with inferior gear.
M113 LAV3
Gavin Stryker
23. The U.S. Army without a Cavalry Branch to develop
light tracked AFVs does not have an effective 3D
air-mech maneuver force to compliment its 2D
maneuver forces. The 19-24 ton Stryker armored car
is too heavy to fly by helicopters or fixed wing C-130
aircraft let alone parachute airdrop. Army leadership
in love with the idea of using computers to cherry
pick where and when it fights over mythical linear
battlefields that do not exist, think they can skimp on
physical armor protection by using rubber-tired wheeled vehicles and save money.
Meanwhile, as their Soldiers are getting killed and maimed by enemy road-side
bombs and RPGs on the NLB, the enemy resistance grows as the people see
that America cannot maintain order and protect them. Army officials full of techno
hubris that blinds them to the tracked armored vehicles that work ignore the
thousands of M113 Gavin light tracked AFVs sitting in storage that could be
quickly and inexpensively upgraded to be fully bomb and RPG resistant to move
EVERY Soldier in the Army under superior armor protection and mobility on the
lethal NLB. We could have had a fully light tracked, under full armor protection
U.S. Army ready for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 had we upgraded the
thousands of M113 Gavins we have instead of buying handfuls of inferior,
expensive Canadian-made Stryker armored cars. We can and still should do this,
but judging from Army past history, the only thing that makes the unprofessionally
organized and led U.S. Army change is obvious failures and lots of preventable
deaths that compels the civilian Congress to act.
