Equality and diversity is not just about providing fairness for all, it’s also an important part of winning more work, creating stronger teams and improving the bottom line.
With equality and diversity being a relatively new consideration for the constructing industry it is often difficult to know where to start and how to ensure the right path is taken. Our trainers have both industry experience and post graduate equality qualifications; it is this unique mix that allows them to see the long and short term benefits to diversity as well as being able to provide you with best practice, working examples and industry specific guidance.
All our courses are confidential and avoid political correctness, allowing you to speak freely and ask the questions that you are unsure of in a safe and understanding environment, we know this is a emotive and tricky area and we are here to help not to judge.
Delegates should walk away feeling confident that they have a greater understanding of diversity and its barriers as well as the tools needed to create a future plan for their organisations.

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.
