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.

Advantages
IBM i security monitoring is a mature discipline with many products
that offer:
• Detailed audit journal (QAUDJRN) monitoring and reporting
• Monitoring of unusual changes made to files outside normal
application flow
• Detailed filtering to eliminate “noise” from the journal data
• Complete reporting capabilities
Assure Monitoring and Reporting has unique strengths in:
• Dynamic mapping capabilities that make it easy to reformat and
manipulate values in reports
• Choices for reporting frequency (year, month, day, hour, minute, second
on-demand or any combination)
• SIEM integration, including IBM QRadar certification
25
26. These are just a handful of the reports you could create
with Assure Monitoring and Reporting
• File accesses outside business hours
• Accesses to sensitive database fields
• Changes of more than 10% to a credit limit field
• All accesses from a specific IP address
• Command line activity for powerful users (*ALLOBJ, *SECADM)
• Changes to system values, user profiles, and authorization lists
• Attempts to sign into a specific account
• Actions on a sensitive spool file, such as display or deletion of the
payroll spool file

35. Security Information and Event
Management
Real-time analysis of security alerts
generated by applications and network
hardware
Holistic, unified view into infrastructure,
workflow, policy compliance and log
management
Monitor and manage user and service
privileges as well as external threat data
What is SIEM?
35
36. Monitoring and reporting tools can forward IBM i security data to a
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution to:
• Integrate IBM i security data with data from other IT platforms
• Enable advanced analysis of security data using correlation,
pattern matching, and threat detection
• Sharing information across teams
• Integrate with case management and ticketing systems
Enterprise Security Monitoring
Monitor IBM i security along with the other platforms in your enterprise
36
37. • Data movement – inbound/outbound FTP
• Dataset access operations
• Determine potential security threats based on unauthorized access attempts
• Ensure only authorized users are accessing critical datasets
• Privileged/non-privileged user activity monitoring
• Unusual behavior pattern – off hours connections
• High number of invalid logon attempts
• Attack detection – intrusion, scans, floods
• Authentication anomalies – e.g. entered the building at 08:30 but logged
on from another country at 09:00
• Network Traffic Analysis – high data volumes from a device/server
• And much more

Assure Db2 Data Monitor
audits views of sensitive
records in Db2 databases
and optionally blocks data
from view
40
41. The latest regulations require that “Read” access to sensitive data is
monitored
• GDPR
• New regulations may follow GDPR’s lead
Other regulations suggest the benefits of tracking access to data without
specifically requiring it:
• PCI DSS
• HIPAA
Monitoring exactly who read highly confidential corporate data is best
practice, for example:
• Executive compensation
• Employee payroll information
• Customer lists
Why Monitor Data Access?
41
42. Bank
Customer Story
A bank’s databases contain highly confidential
financial information. When a user viewed a very
critical file, to which they should not have had
access, the bank was very concerned. The user
claimed to have exited without viewing the data,
but there was no proof.
Assure Db2 Data Monitor gives the bank
confidence that they will be alerted to views of
critical data and that a log will be maintained that
they can show to auditors.
42
44. Assure Db2 Data Monitor
Enables highly confidential data to be blocked from view
• Administrators configure what users are authorized to view
• Only the records that a user is allowed to see are visible to them
Prevents accidental disclosure of highly confidential data, data theft
and abuse of administrative power
• The owner of the file can always see its data
• Those granted the right to view can see their specific records
• Everyone else, including administrators, sees no records in the file
Blocks data views at the record/row level, not by field/column
44
45. Powerful Configuration Options
The Assure Db2 Data Monitor administrator has powerful configuration
options for:
• The owner(s) of the file – who will always have access
• The field(s) in records that flag it as a sensitive record
• The field(s) in a record that uniquely identify it when access is logged
Additional criteria are available to grant users the ability to view records
based on:
• IP address
• Day of the week
• Time of day
• Program stack
• And more
45
46. Example
Before Assure Db2 Data Monitor,
the user could see all the financial
data in the file for all companies
in the database
After Assure Db2 Data Monitor,
the user only sees the financial
transaction information for
company 405, the only company
they are authorized to see
46
47. Logging and Alerting
Assure Db2 Data Monitor logs views of sensitive data rows
• Information is logged to identify the data read, including:
• The file that was read
• The unique identifier of the row
• The field that flagged the row as sensitive
• The user’s name and program they were running
• Other basic system information
• The sensitive data itself is not placed in the log (if not the sensitive record flag)
Alerts can also be sent via popup or email
