A video game called Watch Dogs offers a realistic view on our near future – our surroundings filled to the brim with digital devices, machines which accept and dispense cash, and a variety of other connected things ridden with all sorts of vulnerabilities, which a hacker can exploit. In the game, the main character successfully compromises a video surveillance system using a smartphone, gaining the ability to conduct surveillance and obtain additional information. The game’s fans are divided: some say this is too ‘dystopian’ – taking a smartphone and hacking into everything around you. Others are somewhat skeptical, saying that things really aren’t that great and the game world is in many ways a reflection of real life. Below, we argue that devices in parks and other public spaces, which we often pass without giving them a second thought, may be vulnerable and therefore dangerous, at least for our personal finances. ZeroNights 2014 is an international conference dedicated to the practical side of information security.

Cryptovirology - by Malathi
Cryptovirology is the application of cryptography techniques to create viruses. It involves encrypting a virus to make it difficult to detect using signatures. A cryptovirus typically encrypts data on a system, then encrypts the key and holds the data for ransom until payment is received. This poses challenges for anti-virus software as encrypted viruses are hard to identify. Cryptography allows viruses to communicate covertly and increases their ability to survive. Countermeasures like regular software and backup updates can help, but cryptoviruses remain a threat as antivirus vendors work to develop defenses against this evolving tactic.
Mobile Malware
This document discusses mobile malware and how to protect against it. It begins by defining malware and listing common types. It then provides statistics on the distribution of mobile operating systems and malware detections. The document outlines sources of mobile malware infections and discusses why mobile devices contain sensitive information. It recommends implementing mobile device management to centrally manage devices and deploy security policies. Examples of recent mobile threats are also described. The document concludes by recommending security best practices like using antivirus software, updating devices, and educating users.

This document summarizes a talk given by Dr. Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen on custom penetration testing (pentest) tools he developed called HAGRAT to simulate advanced persistent threats (APTs). Some key points:
- HAGRAT includes a Windows remote access tool (RAT) and Linux command and control server to remotely control Windows systems and conduct intelligence gathering.
- It was developed over 3 months for $30,000 specifically to test organizations' defenses against APTs in a safe, controlled manner.
- HAGRAT remains undetected after 18 months due to limited and controlled usage. It penetrates firewalls using HTTP and looks like normal browser traffic to avoid detection

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
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).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
