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

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

RSA Monthly Online Fraud Report -- December 2013
1. BEHIND THE SCENES OF A FAKE
TOKEN MOBILE APP OPERATION
December 2013
In the last few years, we have seen the mobile space explode with malware. According
to a recent report by Trend Micro, the number of malware and high-risk apps available on
the Android platform has crossed the one million mark, growing more than a thousand
fold in under 3 years.
To the financial industry, the threat manifests itself in the form of rogue apps (apps that
mimic the legitimate banking apps) and in the form of SMS-sniffers. The latter becoming
standard functionality when it comes to banking Trojans, designed to overcome a single
obstacle: out-of-band authentication using mobile devices. By installing a malicious app
on the device, the botmaster can intercept SMS messages and/or telephone calls thus
defeating the OOB authentication. It is one such app that we recently analyzed.
The app, which has been around for a while and uses the moniker mToken, disguises
itself as a fake token app (AV classification), and displays “standard” functionality as
far as SMS message interception goes. During the installation process, it would ask the
user for the necessary SMS-, and communication-related permissions; and to appear
legitimate it made use of the customers’ logos, not to mention displaying a “random”
token code when launched (a detailed analysis of the app is available below).
But the most interesting finding was the analysis of the Web-based control panel. This
offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a mobile botnet operation and demonstrated
the ease of commanding it, but more importantly—its flexibility and resilience.
The panel we analyzed was used in attacks targeting several financial institutions around
the globe along with a well-known social media platform. At the time of RSA’s analysis,
it was commanding over 2,000 mobile devices and had intercepted over 25,000 SMS
messages (see Figure 1 on the following page).

MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT ON-THE-FLY
The panel’s standard functionality provided the fraudster with the ability to review botrelated information, send HTTP-based commands (to the bot), and review the intercepted
SMS messages. But the flexibility and resiliency of the operation was apparent when we
hit the application builder screen (see Figure 2).

Application (APK) builder screen.
Built into the control panel was functionality to create custom-looking malicious mobile
apps on-the-fly. Asking the botmaster to provide basic app-related information (such as
name) and default communication points, it would offer a selection of existing designs or
the ability to create new designs using image files and a simple HTML file.
In order to build the app, the panel makes use of APKTool, a freeware, command-line tool
used to decompile and recompile Android application packages. The tool wraps the HTML and
images in a standard Android APK and makes it available to the fraudster for immediate use.
ANALYSIS OF A ROGUE APP
The delivery method of the app uses basic social engineering techniques to get the user
to download and install the malicious app. Once logged into the bank’s website (on the
PC), the malware presents additional, custom screens (using HTML-injection) asking the
victim to select the mobile device’s operating system (only Android is supported) and the
device’s phone number to which the fraudster then sends an SMS message with a link to
download the app.

3. During the installation process, the app requests permissions to communicate via the
internet and to gain access to the SMS messages (send and receive).
The app then waits for the botmaster to enable the SMS-sniffing function (via the control
panel) at which point it begins to intercept all inbound and outbound SMS messages,
forwarding them to the drop server.
Analysis of the bot’s communication revealed that it would regularly beacon its command
and control server receiving updated communication parameters as well as commands to
carry out on the device. Commands included enabling (or disabling) SMS-interception
and sending SMS messages from the infected device to a third party. This can be used to
send SMiShing messages to other devices that will originate from the victim device and
possibly allow the botmaster to grow his botnet.
SUMMARY
The ability to create custom-looking apps, as well as to command the botnet over HTTP
and SMS, makes this operation very resilient. Having two separate communication
channels (to the bots) means that any take down effort must affect both points
simultaneously. Not to mention the PC-based Trojan operation that can be used to
re-infect the mobile devices if needed.
It is no secret that relying solely on SMS-based out-of-band authentication is not
practical. Taking today’s mobile threat landscape into account will require organizations
to consider stronger authentication measures to protect the identities and transactions of
their customers.

Phishing Attacks per Month
RSA identified 42,364 phishing attacks
marking a 31% decrease from October’s
record setting number. Typically, November
sees a slight increase from October,
but last month’s spike could indicate
cybercriminals are focused on cashing out.
