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).

5. Open Source Data (OSD)
Data is the raw print, broadcast, oral debriefing, or other
form of information from a primary source.
It can be a photograph, a tape recording, a commercial
satellite image, or a personal letter from an individual.
ex: reporter embedded with forces in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Taking pictures, talking to soldiers, recording conversations
and firefights, and taking notes with a pen or pencil.
This is considered raw data until it goes through a
conversion process to create a coherent product.
6. Open Source Information (OSI)
OSI is comprised of the raw data that can be put together, generally by an
editorial process that provides some filtering and validation as well as
presentation management.
OSI is generic information that is usually widely disseminated.
Newspapers, books, broadcasts, and general daily reports are part of the OSI
world.
Ex: a reporter embedded with forces who takes the raw data and converts it into
a meaningful article that is printed in newspapers, magazines or broadcasted
over the air waves. OSI is what a Soldier would purchase at the bookstore inside
the Post Exchange in the form of USA Today or Newsweek.
7. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
OSINT is information that has been deliberately discovered, discriminated,
distilled, and disseminated to a select audience, generally the commander and
his/her immediate staff, in order to address a specific question.
In the case of a battlefield commander, it would more than likely be answering the
priority intelligence requirements (PIR) or specific orders or requests (SOR).
OSINT, in other words, applies the proven process of intelligence to the broad
diversity of open sources of information, and creates intelligence.
Example: The meaningful article above (OSI) that was created from raw data is
used to support an operation. It’s quite possible that a photo accompanying the
article may be of a house known to harbor insurgents. The photo in the article
identifies the location and now can be used to support a tailored operation to
attack the insurgents.

11. Alternatives to the Google Search Engine:
Cluster Based Searches
Over 85% of everyday searches return different results
when you use different search engines such as
Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.
DogPile Performs multiple searches
and then aggregates the results into
one quality set of results.
Goal: to give universal results instead
of what one engine thinks may be best
suited for you.

12. Alternatives to the Google Search Engine:
Cluster Based Searches
Yippy (formerly known as Clusty)
Ex: Searching for articles and material relating to OSINT.
Instead of doing many different searches, just search for
OSNT and Yippy will gather them into aggregated cluster
groups based on the results; and also show results in
the traditional format - descending in order of relevance.
Goal: Organize search results into clustered themes, www.yippy.com
topics and sources.
