Digging into File Formats: Poking around at data using file, DROID, JHOVE, an...stepheneisenhauer
An informal introduction to file format identification using tools like "file" and DROID, originally presented internally as a workshop at UNT Libraries.
File is the basic unit of information storage on a secondary storage device. Therefore, almost every form of data and information reside on these devices in form of file – whether audio data or video, whether text or binary.
Files may be classified on different bases as follows:
1. On the basis of content:
Text files: Files containing data/information in textual form. It is merely a collection of characters. Document files etc.
Binary files: Files containing machine code. The contents are non-recognizable and can be interpreted only in a specified way using the same application that created it. E.g. executable program files, audio files, video files etc.

All information in a file is always in binary form or a series of ones and zeros. A document includes any file you have created. It can be a true text document, sound file, graphics, images, or any other type of information the computer can create, store, or size from the internet.

Write 150 word replies to each of the following:
Add additional insight opinions or challenge opinions and you can visit a couple of the web sites contributed and share your opinion of these sites. Minimum of 150 words for each.
Part 1 (respond in 150 words)
1) Session data, which can be obtained through full content data, summarizes pack exchange. The data is take from a flow, or a session, and allows analysis of source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port, the timestamp, and the overall information measurement exchanged during the session. The session first method is predicated on collecting all of the data, then summarizing all of the data as a conversation. This method is expected to work best on busy networks, where the method allows for quicker parsing of the data by an analyst, and allows for specific movement tracking.
Statistical data, on the other hand, is a way to look at a network that takes into account the normal behaviors and observed parameters of that network using descriptive statistics. This data identifies the patterns of overall traffic flow and gives the analyst the ability spot anomalies. Beyond that, these statistics can be used to identify potential inefficiencies and reallocate resources.
Each of these types of data have different tools available to collect and compile.
For full content data, the tools recommended are LIBPCAP, TCPDUMP, Tethereal, Snort, and Ethereal. Of these, LIBPCAP seems to be the foundation, as well as TCPDUMP, as the other tools seem to take those two programs and integrate them into their setups. Each provides their own format for packet data, and some allow you to go deeper into the data to pull out hexadecimal and ASCII data, including Tethereal, Ethereal, and Snort. Ethereal also has the ability to reconstruct streams.
For session data, tools use probes, collectors and consoles, working in concert to find, collate, and translate the data provided. The text recommends Cisco Net Flow due to the wide-spread use of Cisco technology, and the program’s compatibility with the many open source tools Mr. Bejtlich represents. This data can then be viewed through TCPDUMP. Some other open source collection tools include FProbe, NG_Netflow, Softflowd Pfflowd, and Ntop. Mr. Bejtlich also mentions Flow Tools, Flow Capture, Flow-Cat and Flow-Print (complimentary tools), Sf ...

OSI (Open System Interconnection) Model rachanabuch
The OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection Model) is a conceptual framework used to describe the functions of a networking system. The OSI model characterizes computing functions into a universal set of rules and requirements in order to support interoperability between different products and software. It will describe functions and task of each and every 7 layers of model.
Open source network forensics and advanced pcap analysisGTKlondike
Speaker: GTKlondike
There is a lot of information freely available out on the internet to get network administrators and security professionals started with network analysis tools such as Wireshark. However, there is a well defined limit on how in depth the topic is covered. This intermediate level talk aims to bridge the gap between a basic understanding of protocol analyzers (I.e. Wireshark and TCPdump), and practical real world usage. Things that will be covered include: network file carving, statistical flow analysis, GeoIP, exfiltration, limitations of Wireshark, and other network based attacks. It is assumed the audience has working knowledge of protocol analysis tools (I.e. Wireshark and TCPdump), OSI and TCP/IP model, and major protocols (I.e. DNS, HTTP(s), TCP, UDP, DHCP, ARP, IP, etc.).
Bio
GTKlondike is a local hacker/independent security researcher who has a passion for network security, both attack and defense. He has several years experience working as an network infrastructure and security consultant mainly dealing with switching, routing, firewalls, and servers. Currently attending graduate school, he is constantly studying and learning new techniques to better defend or bypass network security mechanisms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
