How to Write Custom Modules for PHP-based E-Commerce Systems (2011)Roman Zenner
This document discusses how to write custom modules for three different PHP-based e-commerce systems: Magento, OXID eShop, and Shopware. It provides an overview of each system's architecture and module structure. For Magento, it describes how to drill down from templates to models and databases to access product information. For OXID, it explains how to extend classes and integrate custom functionality using an event-listener system. For Shopware, it outlines how to use plugins, events, hooks, and listeners to insert custom code. The document concludes that while each system has slightly different methods, custom modules can be added without core hacking by leveraging each system's extensibility features and testing custom code

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.

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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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).

Agenda
4. >Moving Sitecore development items between environments
> Templates
> Presentational items: layouts, renderings and sublayouts
> Setting items
>Populating test/local environments with content from live instances

Why do we need serialization?
6. >Simple serializing items
> Default Sitecore mechanism
> Need manual action
> Very dangerous

Basic approaches
7. >Utility that solves the issue of moving items
between Sitecore instances.
>Automatically serialize item changes as
they are made to Sitecore
>Sitecore items are serialized to files and
moved by the repository, insted of error-
prone packages

What is Unicorn?
8. >Advanced serialization and comparision system
for Sitecore
>Complete replacement for the Sitecore
serialization format and filesystem organization
>YAML-based serialization formatter
>Serialization File System (SFS)

YAML - based serialization formatter
11. >Human readable file hierarchy
>Extremely long item name support
>Unlimited path length support
>Stores each included subtree in its own
hierarchy, reducing file name length
>Supports non-unique paths, while
keeping it human-readable

Why we should use it
13. >Great tool from Hedgehog
development
>Focused on user’s choice rather
than repository

Something similar? TDS
17. >Extremely good Sitecore module
>Very easy to synchronize
>Can automate serialization
>Bit harder to configure thanTDS
>A lot of improvements

Conclusions
There are a lot element which are stored in Sitecore databases
Need to know the order of installing packages
Very easy to forget about something
- Improper use can remove whole branches from database
Utility for Sitecore that solves the issue of moving templates, renderings, and other database items between Sitecore instances.
Automatically serialize item changes as they are made to Sitecore
Sitecore items are serialized and moved by the repository, insted of error-prone packages
