Green Technology
Technology refers to the application of knowledge for human benefits. Green technology deals with using science and technology to protect the environment as well as curb the negative impacts of human involvement. It is any mode of technology that covers CO2 emissions. Green technologies include green energy, green IT, green food, green, manufacturing, green business, green economics, green supply chain, green logistics, green building, and green nanotechnology. This paper provides a brief introduction to green technology. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Sarhan M. Musa | Adebowale E. Shadare | Adedamola A.

Green technology
Green technology, also known as environmental technology or clean technology, applies environmental science and monitoring to minimize pollution and conserve resources. It includes renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydrogen fuel cells, and hydroelectricity. While green technology provides benefits like reduced emissions and resource conservation, it also faces challenges like high upfront costs, technological hurdles, and potentially negative environmental impacts during development. However, further research and improvements can help address current limitations, and green technology remains key to solving problems like global warming and energy shortages in a sustainable manner.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
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.

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.

- 12. Conclusion • Technology may not be able to fix all environmental issues but it invariably can contribute to its betterment when channelised correctly. • The reason why the environment is in such bad shape is due to the wrong implementation and practice of technology. • Climate changes, global warming and pollution are influenced not by technology but the mismanagement of it. • It is concluded that uncontrollable and unauthorized usage of technology impacts the environment negatively but if targeted rightly has the capability and the potential to restore the environment. Therefore, it is the use of technology that determines the positive or negative impact, and the aim should be to position technology in a way where the current health of the environment which surrounds us is cured and emphatically reinstituted.
