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:

National Security Agency - NSA mobile device best practices
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
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.

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).

How Technology Will Destroy The World
- 1. How Technology will Destroy the World By: Owen Dubar and Daniel Larkin
- 2. Introduction • Technology in itself has many pros and cons but, if we keep doing what were doing we will soon have no place left to call home. • Topics • Cars • Weapons & Bombs • Medication technology • Communication and Travel
- 3. How Cars destroy the planet • With the increase in use of internal combustion engines comes the increase in congestion, raise in the demand for oil, worse air pollution, and an increase in emissions of a variety of greenhouse gases, including methane, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and most important CO2.
- 5. Cars continued • World wide cars produce well over 900 metric tons of CO2 every year. • These emissions account for more than 15% of global fossil fuel CO2 releases. • Every year there are over 30,000 automobile crashes ending in fatality, a trend that has been carrying on for decades.
- 6. Weapons & Bombs • Weaponry has been a major cause in the destruction of many things on earth. • In WW1 there was around 16 million deaths, in WW2 there was over 60 million deaths. This increase is due to the advancement of weaponry and the use of carpet bombing and nuclear bombs.
- 8. Weapons cont. • Technology has dominated warfare since the early 1900’s, and an astounding 190 million people may have been killed during the 25 biggest conflicts of the 20th century. The future battlefield might also extend to space, with orbiting arsenals and high- altitude aero- space planes.
- 9. Medical Advancement • Medical advancement through technology has led to the increase in life expectancy. • Since the 1920 the average life expectancy has increased for men from 59 to 79 and for women from 61 to 83.
- 11. Medicine cont. • With the new advancement in the medical fields through technology we are now able to better diagnose, treat and operate on things that were not possible before. Doctors can now make more personalized plans and treatments for patients that better serve them and their recovery.
- 12. Travel • Technological advances have given us the freedom to travel around the world and see things that without technology we would never be able to see. The plane, train and automobile allow people to travel across great distances with ease and at speeds one would simply not be able to do on foot.
- 14. Travel Cont. • Travel allows us to see other people, species and terrain. • It allows doctors to find new ingredients for medicine • And it lets us find new resources to better us as people and as a society.
- 15. Videos • Here are a few videos going over the advantages and disadvantages of technology in todays society. Air pollution Technologies of tomorrow
- 16. Conclusion • Technology affects our lives in many positive and negative ways. In the end it comes down to us as a people to determine whether we will let technology destroy us or improve us. As long as we are responsible and smart with the way we use technology it shouldn’t destroy the earth but improve it.
