Project 07 involved identifying flaws in three consumer products - a pull-up bar attachment, snowboard, and post-hole digger - and redesigning them. The pull-up bar's attachment brackets were sheared off. For the snowboard, the bindings were held on with the wrong screws in the wrong alignment, causing slipping. The post-hole digger could only dig 12 inches deep. The report proposes redesigning the pull-up bar's brackets, changing the snowboard's binding screws, and adding a channel lock to the digger to allow for deeper digging. The pull-up bar redesign was selected for the assignment.
This essay discusses the applicant's experience working as a freelance designer for the Black Bear Bakery, an anarchist collective bakery.

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.

Project 07 – Phase 1
Product Flaw Identification and Redesign
Jonathan E. Jones - #3451-8370
10/13/2009
Project 07 was the first step into the design aspect of MAE377. Taking three consumer products,
identifying faults, and the redesign into something better off was the main focus of this phase of the
project.
3. 1. Introduction
The purpose of Project 07 is to shift the thinking of an engineering student such as myself from that of
the mundane script-following recreation of 3D models to the actual design of a product of my own.
Although, for Project 07, I did not get to create a product entirely from scratch, I did get to take existing
consumer goods, analyze their faults, and design them better.
2. Problem Statement
The first phase of this Project 07—that which I this report centers around—was to research three
existing commercial products and find flaws in them. I found three products around my apartment and
parents house that met these criteria: a pull up bar attachment to my gym, a snowboard, and a post-
hole digger.
3. Results
Each of the three products I found has a flaw of their own in some manner or another. In order to
better illustrate these products, please refer to the below table, which should provide ample
information regarding each product.

5. Conclusion – Pull-Up Redesign
After investigating and evaluating all three of my consumer products: the pull-up accessory, snowboard,
and post-hole digger, I have decided that one redesign would be more beneficial and interesting than
the others. It was a sad, sorry day when I could no longer use my pull-up attachment to the Total Gym,
and it was honestly something I wish had been fixed for a solid five year period of my life. This being the
case, and the redesign being so simple yet exponentially beneficial, I would like to submit the “Pull-Up
Accessory” as my redesign assignment for Project 07.
