Linux overview for technical writers having no or very less Linux experience. Focus on basic commands, vnc server and taking screenshots for Linux application.
Open source software is editable, adaptable, and redistributable by anyone. It evolved from Linus Torvalds' 1991 Linux experiment. Linux is now widely used due to its low cost, security, customizability, and ability to run on various hardware. It provides graphical interfaces for experienced and non-experienced users. Linux uses a monolithic kernel divided into subsystems like memory management, device drivers, and architecture code. Virtualization allows running virtual machines through KVM, which provides a simulated hardware environment. Linux distributions include full virtualization support or just the optimized hypervisor.

This document provides an overview of several operating systems including Unix, Linux, virtual memory, and microkernels. It discusses that Unix originated in the 1960s from the Multics operating system project and details some of its early history. It also explains that Linux began as a personal project by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and has since grown significantly. Additionally, it defines virtual memory as a feature that allows computers to use disk storage for memory overflow and microkernels as minimal software that provides mechanisms for operating systems.
Unix originated as a stripped down version of MULTICS created by Ken Thompson on a PDP-7 minicomputer in the 1970s. It was written in assembly language initially but later rewritten in C by Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. POSIX standards were developed to ensure portability across Unix systems. Windows started as the command-line MS-DOS operating system in the 1980s and later added a graphical user interface called Windows. It has continued adding features and versions over time to become the dominant desktop operating system, including Windows 95, 98, 2000, and NT. In conclusion, the document compares that Unix is free and open source while Windows is proprietary, Unix can run on more system varieties, and Unix has a

This document provides an introduction to Linux, UNIX, and GNU. It describes UNIX as an operating system originally developed at Bell Labs in the 1970s. Linux is a freely distributed implementation of the UNIX kernel and is very similar to UNIX. GNU stands for GNU's Not UNIX and is a free UNIX-like operating system that contains no UNIX code. The document discusses common Linux directories for programs and explains that text editors and C compilers are essential tools for programming in Linux. It provides a simple "Hello World" example C program to demonstrate writing, compiling, and running a basic Linux program.

Linux is an open source operating system initially developed for Intel processors but now available on other platforms. The Linux kernel was created by Linus Torvalds and forms the core of any Linux distribution. Distributions package the kernel with other software and come in different categories for embedded systems, desktops, and servers. Common distributions include Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS. The command line interface provides power and flexibility, while the graphical user interface offers accessibility through desktop environments like GNOME.
Low fat virtualization for embedded systemsJacques Supcik

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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.

Robin van Emden, Senior Director of Data Science at Network Optix, presents the “Building and Scaling AI Applications with the Nx AI Manager,” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.

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.

Editor's Notes
-name desktop-name Each desktop has a name which may be displayed by the viewer. It defaults to " host : display# ( username )" but you can change it with this option. It is passed in to the xstartup script via the $VNCDESKTOP environment variable, allowing you to run a different set of applications according to the name of the desktop. -geometry width x height Specify the size of the desktop to be created. Default is 1024x768. -depth depth Specify the pixel depth in bits of the desktop to be created. Default is 16, other possible values are 8, 15 and 24 - anything else is likely to cause strange behaviour by applications. -pixelformat format Specify pixel format for server to use (BGRnnn or RGBnnn). The default for depth 8 is BGR233 (meaning the most significant two bits represent blue, the next three green, and the least significant three represent red), the default for depth 16 is RGB565 and for depth 24 is RGB888.
