Introduction to Level Zero API for Heterogeneous Programming : NOTESSubhajit Sahu
Highlighted notes on Introduction to Level Zero API for Heterogeneous Programming by Juan Fumero
While doing research work under Prof. Dip Banerjee, Prof. Kishore Kothapalli.
Author:
PhD Juan Fumero
Passionate about compilers and parallelism. Research associate at The University of Manchester. Runner
Level-Zero appears quite similar to CUDA, but is very verbose. AS Juan has said, it is quite similar to OpenCL and Vulkan. It has command queues to commands to device for compute or copy. Shared memory (unified memory in CUDA) is used. Synchronization is done with events and fences (need to read what fences are). You can take an OpenCL kernel, compile with clang to SPIRV (used by Vulkan too) and load it up and build to native, and submit in a command list. Similar to CUDA, synchronize is needed to wait for kernel to complete as execution is asynchronous (its just submit to queue).
Like OpenCL, Level-Zero assumes multiple drivers, and devices, queues. Some picking needed for these (atleast for queues=compute).

Possibility of arbitrary code execution by Step-Oriented Programming by Hiroa...CODE BLUE
An embedded system has a stub to connect with a host PC and debug a program on the system remotely. A stub is an independent control program that controls a main program to enable debugging by a debugger. A stub is simplified by only processing the simple controls such as reading or writing of the register or of a memory, and a debugger processes a complicated analysis on the host PC.
Communication with a debugger on the host PC and a stub on the embedded system is performed by a protocol called Remote Serial Protocol (RSP) over a serial communication or TCP/IP communication. If this communication is taken away, it becomes possible to operate a stub arbitrarily. We considered what kind of attack possibility there was in that case, and identified that execution of arbitrary code constructed from pieces of machine code, combined with (SOP: Step-Oriented Programming) is possible by repeating step execution while changing the value of the program counter. Therefore it is possible to construct an arbitrary code and execute it from existing machine code, even if execution of the injected machine code is impossible because execution on data area is prevented by DEP or only machine code on the flash ROM are allowed execution.
I will explain about an attack principle by SOP and the results from constructed attack code and actual inspection.

SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems. Infamous data leaker IntelBroker posted on the even more infamous BreachForums hacking forum, saying that Europol suffered a data breach this month.
The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Resources
4. Introduction
“Reverse engineering is the process of extracting the
knowledge or design blueprints from anything man-
made”.
It is usually conducted to obtain missing knowledge,
ideas and design philosophy when such information is
unavailable.
In computer science, It is the process of dis-
assembling or de-compiling the binary code of
computer program for various purpose.
Requires skills and understanding of computer and
software development
5. Introduction Cont…
Why reverse engineering…
different people do it for different purpose …
But, Specifically in the field of Cyber Security…
… If you want to be serious security researcher, you
must posses skills of reverse code engineering.
6. Reversing Process
Defining scope of reversing…
System Reverse Engineering
Code Reverse Engineering
Data Reverse Engineering
Protocol Reverse Engineering
7. Reversing Process Cont…
Setting up environment…
Setup Isolated environment (VMware,Virtual Box)
System monitoring (SysInternalTools)
Static Analysis
Dynamic Analysis (Debugging/Tracing)
8. Reversing Process Cont…
DisassemblingVs Decompiling…
Native Code – Directly perform operations on CPU
(Compiled with C,C++,Delphi)
IntermediateCode – Interpreter drives it to perform
operations on CPU
(Java byte code, MSIL)
9. Reversing Process Cont…
Program structure…
Higher level perspective …
Modules
Data
Control flow
Lower level perspective …
Just assembly language!!!
10. Reversing Process Cont…
So what I need to know prior reversing binary code ...
Just a computer and brain would be enough but …
… mastering it might take time if you don’t know about
Computer architecture
Programming in Assembly Language and C,C++
Operating System-Platform and HEX numbering
11. Assembly Language
Lowest level in software
Platform specific (IA-32, IA-64,AMD)
Machine code (OpCode) Assembly commands
Assembler converts assembly program into machine
code that is executable by CPU
Dis-assembler is the program that coverts machine
code into textual presentation of assembly
commands
Mastering reversing without knowing assembly is
almost impossible.
13. Assembly Language
Registers
Internal memory in processor
IA-32 has eight generic registers
(EAX,EBX,ECX,EDX,ESI,EDI,EBP and ESP)
Floating point and debug registers
Special register – EFLAGS for flag management
flags
OF, SF, ZF, AF, PF, CF
14. Assembly Language
Basic Instructions
MOV - data copying
LEA – address loading (POINTER)
ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, IMUL, IDIV – arithmetic
CMP,TEST – comparison
CALL , RET – function call and Return
J** - conditional branching
PUSH/POP - stack management
NOP – do nothing
15. System Calls
Used as interface between application and operating
system.
System calls ask OS to perform specific task
Most operating system are written in “C” language,
so providing SYSTEM Calls as “C” api’s
- NIX system calls – unistd.h
-WINDOWS system calls - windows.h
Studying OS platform and system calls is necessary
part of reverse engineering
17. Tools and Techniques
Various tools helps in reverse-engineering the binary
code/program.
Compiler is the tool used to convert high level language
like C,C++ into machine code.
Assembler is the tool used to convert pseudo-code written
specific to processor into machine code.
At reverse Dis-Assembler and De-Compilers help us in
reversing the process, recovering the high level code from
machine code.
Debuggers are the tools used to debug live running
program.
Virtual machines might help in providing
protective/isolated environment for analysis.
18. Tools and Techniques Cont…
Broad category of tools are divided into two category.
Static AnalysisTools
-Tools helps us to analysis program without even
running it.
-Tools includes Dis-assembler and De-Compilers
Dynamic AnalysisTools
-Tools in this category helps us dive deep into
program by analyzing it while running it.
-Tools includes Debuggers, Loaders and System
Monitoring tools
19. Tools and Techniques Cont…
Compilers
(VC compiler, GCC compiler suite, .NET framework)
Assemblers
(MASM, NASM,TASM, FASM)
Dis-assemblers and Debuggers
(IDAPro, OllyDbg, Immunity Debugger,WinDbg)
Hypervisors
(VMWareWorkstation/Player,VirtualBox,QUEMU)
System monitoring withSysInternals tools
Hex Editors and Other system utilities
24. RCE in various context

software. (Microsoft global escalation support team)
25. Cool Huh …
Lets play around some practical reversing lab exercise
Lets see some cool stuff
26. Lab – Cracking for serial.
This is for purely demonstration and educational
purpose only.
Anything you do to obtain or provide fake registration
key for software is considered cracking and a serious
offense.
In lab we are going to study and recover serial key and
defeat registration mechanism by various ways.
27. Defeating RE
Lot of research has been done, many ways to make it
harden for reversing process.
… But no solution is 100% perfect and secure.
28. Defeating RE Cont…
Software armoring
Obfuscation
“ deliberate act of creating obfuscated code, i.e.
source or machine code that is difficult for human to
understand” --Wikipedia
29. Defeating RE Cont…
Some techniques for anti-analysis …
