The document provides information about input, output, and storage devices for a computer. It lists the group members working on the project and their roles. It then defines input devices as those that allow a user to provide information to the computer, such as keyboards and mice. Output devices are described as those that communicate data from the computer to the user, like monitors, speakers, and printers. Storage devices are explained as peripherals that save the computer's permanent files and programs, enabling the computer to function, such as hard drives, CD-ROMs, and DVDs. Examples of each type of device are also provided.
Computer Devices that are Both Input & Output DevicesAngela DeHart
These concentration cards were created so that as I am teaching students about computer input devices I can have them engage in visual learning (pictures) and play hand-on games like concentration, or let them compete against each other in teams as to getting 6 examples of computer input/output devices correct.

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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

4. MEANING :- Input devices are peripherals you can attach to your
computer that allow it to receive input from a user. Most
computers come standard with two universal input devices: the
keyboard and the mouse. Other input devices include game
controllers, such as joysticks and game pads, web cams and
microphones, scanners and digital cameras. Computers rely on
data from input devices; without input devices, a computer
cannot receive any information from the user and cannot be
operated.
FUNCTION :- Input devices refer to devices such
as mice, keyboards, webcams and the
microphone. Their main function is to allow the
user to control the machine through data input.
They are also a medium through which the user
communicates with the computer.
5. EXAMPLES OF INPUT DEVICE
It can be used for shortcuts, like copy,
paste, empty trash, etc. It is also used
for answering this question. It has many
uses such as type writing ...not just
typing but typing with fast speed that
consume a lot of time. keyboard also
very helpful in Dos command which is
one of the best security system where a
mouse can't work.
In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that
functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative
to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse consists of
an object held under one of the user's hands, with one
or more buttons.
The mouse sometimes features other elements, such as
"wheels", which allow the user to perform various
system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or
features that can add more control or dimensional input.
The mouse's motion typically translates into the motion
of a pointer on a display, which allows for fine control of
a graphical user interface.
6. MENING OF OUTPUT DEVICE:-
An output device is any device used to send data from a
computer to another device or user. Most computer
data output that is meant for humans is in the form of
audio or video. Thus, most output devices used by
humans are in these categories. Examples include
monitors, projectors, speakers, headphones and
printers.
FUNCTION OUTPUT DEVICE:-
Out put devices refers to those
peripherals which gives you the result of
a processed input. It can be images on a
screen, vibration from a joy pad, print
out.
7. Headphones are a pair of small loudspeakers that are
designed to be held in place close to a user's ears.
Headphones either have wires for connection to a signal
source such as an audio amplifier, radio, CD player,
portable media player or mobile phone, or have a
wireless receiver, which is used to pick up signal without
using a cable. They are sometimes known as ear
speakers or, colloquially, cans.[2] The alternate in-ear
versions are known as earphones or ear buds. In the
context of telecommunication, a headset is a
combination of headphone and microphone
Radio is the wireless transmission of signals through free
space by electromagnetic radiation of a frequency
significantly below that of visible light, in the radio
frequency range, from about 30 kHz to 300 GHz.[1] These
waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation
travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that
pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
Information, such as sound, is carried by systematically
changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves,
such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width.
When radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the
oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the
conductor. The information in the waves can be extracted
and transformed back into its original form.
EXAMPLES OF OUTPUT DEVICE
8. FUNCTION OF STORAGE DEVICE:-
Storage devices save all of your computer's
permanent information. Things that you download,
your preferences and settings, programs and
games that you have installed, your operating
system, etc. are all installed on your hard
drive. When your computer needs to load
something, it searches through your HDD to locate
the files that it needs. Without storage devices,
your computer would not function and would be
unable to go beyond the BIOS screen when
booting.
9. CD-ROM drives are very popular for playing
and installing media. CD-ROM drives are
classified as 5.25-inch drives because they fit
into the 5.25-inch drive bays that are used in
computer cases. CD-ROM drives come in many
forms, including external, internal, and more.
DVD stands for Digital Versatile (or Video) Disc.
It is used for storing information in digital form
