Warrantless governmental surveillance through the use of emerging technology ...Vania_Chaker
Abstract: Warrantless Governmental Surveillance through the Use of Emerging Technology Has Become a Mainstay of Governmental Investigation
The United States government enjoys awesome technological capabilities. It can facilely monitor electronic communications and surreptitiously retrieve stored information on private computer systems through the use of emerging technology. Indeed, technology that was once the stuff of science fiction is now routinely used in real life to monitor the activities of citizens, corporations, even foreign nationals in foreign nations.
This blog post raises the question as to whether such powerful governmental capabilities have been tempered by the countervailing protective judicial or legislative safeguards necessary to offset the greatly increased potential for improper government intrusiveness. The word count is 449 words (1,396 words including footnotes).
The internet contents an average person see on internet is not the whole web. So the remaining is called dark web. This presentation is about types of web and mainly on dark web.
The dark web allows for anonymous browsing but has privacy risks. It can only be accessed through special browsers like Tor that hide a user's identity and location. While the dark web protects anonymity, law enforcement has found ways to de-anonymize users through vulnerabilities in the Tor network or malware. Common uses of the dark web include drugs, weapons, child pornography, and hacking tools, though it also enables whistleblowing. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are often used for transactions on the dark web due to the anonymity provided.
The Dark Web consists of World Wide Web content existing on darknets, which are overlay networks that use the Internet, but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. The Dark Web forms a small part of the Deep Web - the part of the web not indexed by search engines - although sometimes the term, Deep Web, is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the Dark Web.

The document discusses various tools and techniques for online anonymity and encrypted communication, including hacktivism, open source operating systems like Linux, full-disk encryption, virtual private networks, anonymous email providers, encrypted messaging apps, anonymous social media, torrents, and darknet file sharing platforms. It provides instructions for setting up encrypted browsers, email, chat, and collaboration while avoiding surveillance and censorship. The overall aim is to educate on building "cipherspace" through digital security culture.
This document provides a monthly roundup of cybersecurity news and events from May 2018. It discusses the emergence of new ransomware variants called Annabelle and MBRlock that encrypt the master boot record. It also reports on alerts issued by the FBI and DHS about malware used by the North Korean hacking group Hidden Cobra called Joanap RAT and Brambul SMB worm. Other topics summarized include a Facebook bug that set posts to public by default, the newly discovered RedEye ransomware, a vishing scam that stole Rs. 7 lakhs from a woman in India, Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, and data breaches at MyHeritage and Operation Prowli impacting over 40,000 servers.
This document outlines 10 post-apocalyptic cyber scenarios and provides real world examples for each. The scenarios include: 1) widespread DDoS attacks causing communication outages, 2) social media being used to coordinate DDoS protests, 3) an insider stealing customer data, 4) malicious software updates, 5) hardware backdoors enabling theft and network control, 6) an insider abusing privileges for financial gain, 7) erroneous BGP routes blackholing the internet, 8) state-sponsored cyber espionage, 9) weapons-grade malware used for sabotage like Stuxnet, and 10) cyber attacks supporting military strikes

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
