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).

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. Introduction
With the vast change in technology in the present day, carrying out
our daily activities is made easier and more efficient. Majority of the
students in universities today are in need of a laptop to carry out
their assignments and organise their documents. That is why
Taylor’s University wants to design a laptop that suits the
requirements and expectations of a university and college student.
With the personalised laptop designed by Taylor’s University,
students can further enhance and improve their education aspect.
However, it is important to design a laptop that is ideal for a
university student. That is why a survey is conducted to obtain
further information of the aspects and considerations of a student
when purchasing a laptop.

Based on the chart, only the students who chose
“yes” for the importance of graphic are to answer
this question and 145 students answered “yes”.
Throughput the survey, we obtained the same
voting for the voting of importance of graphic.
Each 51 students answered that graphic of laptops
are important because they needed it for gaming
and design purposes. And also 43 students think
that graphic is important for them because they
used it to watch video. As the result is quite
equal, we think that Taylor’s Company should
emphasize on the laptop’s graphic quality in order
to attract students to purchase it.
13. How often do students purchase laptops
on an annual basis?
Student's Responds

When Necessary
The chart shows the amount of laptops students purchased on an annual
basis. Majority of them only buy laptops when necessary. This also means
that students might not willing to buy a new laptop.
14. How long do the students expect the battery life
to last?
Base on the pie chart above, we can conclude that most of students expect the battery life to last 6
years or more than that. Purchasing a new laptop’s battery is never cheap. Therefore, as a
students, they expect the battery life to last as long as it can because they only depends on pocket
moneys.

Base on the results above, we may conclude that not all students are only take
attention on the price of laptop but the quality of the products. We buy cheap products
but we acknowledged that the quality would not be as good as the products with
higher price. However, products with over pricing will be neglect by customers too.
Because they might think its not worth for it.

23. Conclusion
Based on the survey conducted there are many information and aspects to
focus on upon designing the Taylor’s laptop. Students today prefer
hybrid laptops compared to traditional laptops. Majority of them are
also looking for a laptop with a good processor and high speed
functionality. Besides that, they prefer the screen size of a laptop to be
13 to 14 inches. Most of the students today are also heavy task users.
That is why majority of them requires a minimum of 8GB RAM when
they make their consideration on purchasing a laptop. The graphic of
the laptop is also one of the concerns of the students on the laptop.
They also think that the media capabilities of a laptop are equally
important. However, majority of them are willing to spend a total
amount of RM2000 to RM3000 on a laptop. Nonetheless, they are also
very concerned about the warrantee that comes along with the laptop.
Based on the information gathered, Taylor’s University can focus on
the aspects to design a laptop that is suitable for the students today.
