VDI-in-a-Box: Microsoft Desktop Virtualization for Smaller Businesses and UsesConcentrated Technology
Today’s talk about VDI centers around deploying hundreds or thousands of desktops. But sometimes you just want access for a few people and a few applications. Or, you just can’t afford big-budget solutions. Have you tried Microsoft Hyper-V and RDS? Combining these two tools, a sufficiently-powerful server, and the information in this session, you’ll quickly build a single-server VDI solution for just those small needs. Join RDS MVP Greg Shields for a look at the very small in VDI. He’ll show you how to get started on the most micro of budgets, and send you home with the exact click-by-click to begin hosting your own virtual desktops.
In this presentation we review System Center Advisor and how we can monitor SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

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.

2. Managing Microsoft SQL Server:For the “Reluctant” DBA Don Jones Senior Partner and Technologist Concentrated Technology, LLC Required Slide SESSION CODE: DAT203
4. Introductions Me: Don Jones, Concentrated Technology Microsoft MVP Award recipient Contributing Editor, TechNet Magazine Author of 45+ IT books Blogger at http://ConcentratedTech.com You: The “Microsoft Person” in your environment Not primarily concerned with supporting Microsoft SQL Server… …but more or less forced to do so anyway
5. Agenda Peeking Under the Hood: How SQL Server Works Backup and Restore Operations About the Query Optimizer Index Maintenance and Tuning Key Database Configuration Options SQL Server Security Model Key Server Configuration Options High Availability and Replication Options
6. How SQL Server Works, Part 1 SQL Server stores data in 8KB chunks called “pages” It always deals with data in these 8KB chunks Generally speaking, all data for a single table row must fit onto a single page It’s actually possible for certain types of data to spread across multiple pages Sometimes, the page can contain a pointer to a file on disk – the FILESTREAM data type The pages live in one or more files (.MDF, .NDF) on disk, but are always read or written in 8KB units
7.
8.
9. SQL Server Backups Three types: Full – Backs up the entire database and removes (“truncates”) all “checked” entries from the transaction log Differential: Only what’s changed since the last Full; also truncates the log Transaction log: Only grabs the current transaction log; truncates the active log afterward
10.
11. Maximum amount of data at-risk: Any changes made since the most recent transaction log backup
12.
13. Indexes Two types: Clustered Every table has one, even if it’s just on the row ID number. Governs the order in which data is logically stored Should be on whatever column is used most for lookups or table joins Non-Clustered Every table can have zero or more Acts as a literal index, keeping entries in order by the indexed column and pointing to the full data row A “covering” index is one that contains entries for every column being queried
14. Indexes: Pros and Cons Pros Indexes can speed up the time it takes to find data Also speed up sort times Ideally, index on all columns that are frequently used in a WHERE or ORDER BY clause Cons Indexes slow down data add/change/delete operations, because indexes must also be updated Ideally, index nothing The reality is a balancing act: Building indexes on columns that deliver the most benefit, with the least downside
15. Index Problem: Fragmentation Occurs when index pages become full and data needs to be inserted into the middle A “page split” occurs to make room for the new entry, causing the pages to be “out of order” – this decreases performance NEW! Andrew Andrews Batista Barbara Charles Charlie Frank Gary Grossman Hugh Ina Jack Jackson Jones Kimberly Donavan Eric Erin Derek
16. Fixing Fragementation Reorganizing or Rebuilding the index will put the entries and pages back into the correct order, improving performance You can specify a “fill factor” that leaves empty space for new entries without splitting pages as often However, emptier pages mean SQL Server has to work harder to read the same amount of data – so this is a balancing act
18. Index Tuning The indexes that made sense for a database on day 1 might not make sense after it has been in use for some time You can use SQL Profiler to capture real-world, representative query traffic… …and feed that to the Database Engine Tuning Advisor to get recommendations on index improvements The Advisor can even help you implement those changes that you decide to proceed with
20. Key Database Options and Best Practices Allow statistics to Auto-Create/Update This makes sure the Query Optimizer knows which indexes exist and what kind of condition they are in Consider disabling auto-growth, or at least monitor it Auto-Grow can consume time; better to manually size the database files appropriately Disable Auto Close except on infrequently-used databases Closed databases incur a performance hit when someone queries them since SQL Server has to open the file
22. SQL Server Security Model Login: Map to a Windows user/group, or an in-server credential; gets you access to the server Server Role: Contains logins, and defines server-wide privileges Database user: Maps to a login, and gets you into a database Database Role: Contains database users, and defines in-database privileges Custom Database Role: Same as the built-in ones, but you define the permissions App Role: Shortcut login+databaseuser+permissions designed to be activated by an application that defines its own security layer for the data.
23. Server Options Authentication Mode: “Windows” or “Windows+SQL Server” Memory and Processor options (typically, leave alone) Instances Each “instance” is an independent installation of SQL Server Has its own “server-wide” options (“instance-wide” is a better term) Default instance: Connect using server name Other instances: Connect using SERVERNSTANCE format Review list of services to see instances – each instance has its own SQL Server service
30. Conclusion A few basic admin skills can help you perform the most often-needed SQL Server tasks Keep in mind that the SQL Server Management Studio can connect to multiple servers for single-seat administration
