Sulphuric acid is a colorless, viscous liquid that is highly corrosive. It is produced via the contact process, which involves burning sulfur and reacting the sulfur dioxide with a vanadium catalyst at high temperature to produce sulfur trioxide, which is then dissolved in sulfuric acid. Sulphuric acid is non-flammable but releases toxic fumes when heated and its corrosiveness can cause irritation upon short-term exposure. It has a variety of industrial uses such as in fertilizer, rubber, and oil production.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

This white paper explains why antivirus software alone is not enough to protect your organization against
the current and future onslaught of computer viruses. Examining the different kinds of email threats and
email attack methods, this paper describes the need for a solid server-based content-checking gateway to
safeguard your business against email viruses and attacks as well as information leaks.
The threat of email viruses and trojans
The widespread use of email has provided hackers and crackers with an easy way to distribute harmful
content to the internal network. Hackers can easily circumvent the protection offered by a firewall by
tunneling through the email protocol, since it does not analyze email content.
CNN reported in January 2004 that the MyDoom virus cost companies about US$250 million in lost
productivity and tech support expenses, while NetworkWorld (September 2003) cited studies that placed the
cost of fighting Blaster, SoBig.F, Wechia and other email viruses at US$3.5 billion for US companies alone.
Furthermore, email is also used to install trojans, targeted specifically at your organization to obtain
confidential information or gain control of your servers. Described as “instructive viruses” or “spy viruses” by
computer security experts, these can be potent tools in industrial espionage. A case in point is the email
attack on Microsoft’s network in October 2000, which a Microsoft Corp. spokesman described as “an act of
industrial espionage pure and simple”. According to reports, Microsoft’s network was hacked by means of a
backdoor trojan virus maliciously emailed to a network user.
The threat of information leaks
Organizations often fail to acknowledge that there is a great risk of crucial data being stolen from within
the company. Various studies have shown how employees use email to send out confidential corporate
information. Be it because they are disgruntled and revengeful, or because they fail to realize the potentially
harmful impact of such a practice, employees use email to share sensitive data that was officially intended to
remain in-house.
As the 2003 Hutton enquiry in the UK demonstrated, government officials and BBC executives were found to
have used email to make disclosures that were confidential. A March 1999 PC Week article referred to a study
where, out of the 800 workers surveyed, 21-31% admitted to emailing confidential information - like financial
or product data – to recipients outside the company.
The threat of emails containing malicious or offensive content
Emails sent by staff containing racist, sexist or other offensive material can make your company vulnerable
from a legal point of view. In September 2003, UK firm Holden Meehan Independent Financial Advisors had
to pay a former employee £10,000 for failing to guard her from email harassment. Chevron notoriously had
to pay $2.2 million to four employees after they had allegedly received sexually harassing email. Under British
law, employers are held responsible for emails written by employees in the course of their employment,
whether or not the employer consented to the mail. The insurance company Norwich Union was asked to pay
$450,000 in an out-of-court settlement as a result of emailed comments relating to competition.
Methods used to attack your email system
To get to grips with the kind of email threats present today, it is best to take a quick look at the current main
methods of email attack. These include:
Attachments with malicious content
Melissa and LoveLetter were among the first viruses to illustrate the problem with email attachments and
trust. They made use of the trust that exists between friends or colleagues. Imagine receiving an attachment
from a friend who asks you to open it. This is what happened with Melissa, AnnaKournikova, SirCam and other
similar email worms. Upon running, such worms usually proceed to send themselves out to email addresses

Virus writers place much emphasis on getting the victim to run the attachment. Therefore they make use of
different attractive attachment names, such as SexPic.cmd and me.pif.
Many users try to avoid infection from email viruses by only double-clicking on files with certain extensions,
such as JPG and MPG. However, some viruses, such as the AnnaKournikova worm, make use of multiple
extensions to try trick the user into running the file. The AnnaKournikova virus was transmitted via an email
attachment named ‘AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs’ which dupes recipients into believing that that they are receiving
a harmless JPG image of the famous tennis star, rather than a Visual Basic Script containing infectious code.
In addition, the Class ID (CLSID) extension allows hackers to hide the actual extension of the file, thereby
concealing the fact that cleanfile.jpg is actually a nasty HTA (HTML application) file.
This method currently also circumvents various email content filtering solutions which make use of simple file
checking methods, thus enabling the hacker to reach the target user with greater ease.
Emails triggering known exploits
The Nimda worm took the Internet by surprise, circumventing many email security tools and breaking
into servers and corporate networks as well as infecting the home user. The trick in Nimda is that it runs
automatically on computers having a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer or Outlook Express. Nimda was
one of the first in a line of viruses that exploit one flaw or another in order to disseminate. Variants of the Bagle
virus that emerged in March 2004, for instance, exploited an old Outlook flaw in a bid to spread without any
user intervention.
HTML mail with embedded scripts
Nowadays, all email clients can send and receive HTML mail. HTML mail can include scripts and Active
Content, which can allow programs or code to be executed on the client machine. Outlook and other
products use Internet Explorer components to display HTML email, meaning they inherit the security
vulnerabilities found in Internet Explorer.
Viruses based on HTML scripts have the added danger of being able to run automatically when the malicious
mail is opened. They do not rely on attachments; therefore the attachment filters found in antivirus software
are useless in combating unknown HTML script viruses.
The BadTrans.B virus, for example, combines an email exploit with HTML to propagate, using HTML to launch
an attachment automatically once the email is received.
The shocking ease of creating a virus today
Anyone with a little knowledge of Visual Basic can unleash chaos by exploiting well-known vulnerabilities in
various commonly used email clients and products. A visit to the SecurityFocus site, for instance, will reveal
various exploits that are available for Microsoft Outlook. A malicious script kiddie with the intent of producing
a virus can just modify the exploit code - which is publicly available! - to execute his/her code.
For example, an exploit for Internet Explorer and MS Access, which could be easily applied to Outlook and
Outlook Express, is described on Guninski.com. A virus writer could easily exploit this to run Visual Basic
code as soon as the victim opens the infected email. This would infect all HTML files and send itself to all the
contacts on the recipient’s email address book. A key feature of this virus, however, is that it would execute
simply when the user opens the email containing malicious HTML.
Why antivirus software or a firewall is not enough
Some organizations lull themselves into a false sense of security upon installing a firewall. This is a wise step to
protect their intranet, but it is not enough: firewalls can prevent access to your network by unauthorized users.
But they do not check the content of mail being sent and received by those authorized to use the system, for
instance. This means that email viruses can still pass through this level of security.
Nor does virus-scanning software protect against ALL email viruses and attacks: antivirus vendors cannot

matter of hours (such as the recent MyDoom, NetSky.B and Beagle worms). Companies using a single virus-
scanning engine alone are not necessarily safeguarded when a new virus is released. A 2004 study by the UK
government found, for example, that although 99% of large British companies use antivirus products, 68% of
them were infected by viruses during 2003. Similarly, a 2003 study carried out at Hewlett-Packard’s research
labs in Bristol, found the signature update approach to virus detection and elimination to be fundamentally
flawed, simply because worms can spread faster than antivirus signature updates can be distributed.
The solution: A proactive approach
So how does one protect against these email threats? A proactive approach is needed which involves
the content checking of all inbound and outbound email at server level, before distribution to your users.
This way, all potentially harmful content is removed from an infected or dubious email, and only then is it
forwarded to the user.
By installing a comprehensive email content checking and antivirus gateway on their mail server, companies
can protect themselves against the potential damage and lost work time that current and future viruses
may cause.
