Texas Border Security: A Strategic Military AssessmentJon Hansen
During the past two years the state of Texas has become increasingly threatened by the spread of Mexican cartel organized crime. The threat reflects a change in the strategic intent of the cartels to move their operations into the United States. In effect, the cartels seek to create a “sanitary zone” inside the Texas border -- one county deep -- that will provide sanctuary from Mexican law enforcement and, at the same time, enable the cartels to transform Texas’ border counties into narcotics transshipment points for continued transport and distribution into the continental United States. To achieve their objectives the cartels are relying increasingly on organized gangs to provide expendable and unaccountable manpower to do their dirty work. These gangs are recruited on the streets of Texas cities and inside Texas prisons by top-tier gangs who work in conjunction with the cartels.

The Indian radio industry has emerged in the last 15 years with two phases of FM licensing in the late 1990s and 2006/07. While the industry is growing with audiences and advertisers, it has struggled with building sustainable profitability due to heavy investment and a tight regulatory regime. However, the medium to long term prospects for the sector are excellent if regulatory and measurement issues are resolved. The prospects could also be improved by lifting the foreign investment cap and attracting more capital.

RF and Mixed Signal Circuits for a DVB-H ReceiverRFIC-IUMA
This document presents the design of RF and mixed signal circuits for a DVB-H receiver. It describes the low noise amplifier, mixer, synthesizer, and ADC circuits. The LNA uses a cascode configuration to achieve low power and noise with wide bandwidth. The mixer uses a Gilbert cell. The VCO employs techniques like emitter degeneration and capacitor divider to improve phase noise and amplitude. Two ADC structures are presented, including a delta sigma ADC. Measurements and simulations show the circuits meet requirements for a DVB-H receiver in terms of frequency range, sensitivity, noise figure, linearity, phase noise, gain and dynamic range.

1) Smart antennas use antenna arrays that can change their radiation patterns in response to the signal environment to improve wireless system performance.
2) There are two main types of smart antennas: phased beam antennas which form a finite number of fixed patterns, and adaptive array antennas which can form an infinite number of patterns.
3) Adaptive array antennas can direct their main beam toward the desired signal while suppressing interference by adapting their pattern, allowing them to customize coverage for each user.

The document discusses the benefits and opportunities of wireless video surveillance systems using wireless mesh networks. Wireless mesh networks offer significant cost reductions compared to wired infrastructure, with initial capital and operating expenses being 1/20th the cost. Wireless mesh also provides more flexibility than wired systems as cameras can be easily installed and repositioned without pulling cable. Several case studies of wireless video surveillance networks deployed in cities, transportation systems, public spaces, and commercial sites are presented, demonstrating how wireless mesh networks can be quickly deployed to enhance security. Critical success factors for wireless video surveillance projects include addressing privacy concerns, anticipating training needs, seeking multiple funding sources, and performing a thorough network design and site survey.

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.
