This document describes Dan Mauk's company Star Cutter's process for evaluating Syteline software patches before applying them. It outlines how their process has evolved from using customized scripts for each patch, to a hypertext application to manage scripts, to now incorporating a third-party file comparison tool. The tool allows high-level comparisons of code and helps move any necessary changes into their custom modifications. The summary also provides details on how they evaluate patches for various audiences like project managers, developers, and end users.

(ATS6-DEV08) Integrating Contur ELN with other systems using a RESTful APIBIOVIA
In order to enable easy integration between Contur ELN and other informatics systems a RESTful API has been developed. Data may be extracted from ELN experiments using GET calls, but external applications can also insert results directly into the ELN record. In particular the API can be used with Accelrys Enterprise Platform to create complex flows for resolving scientific problems. Such protocols may be launched from within the ELN client.
Crucible is a tool for post-commit code review, whereas pull request is a tool for pre-merge code review. Both the tool evaluated in this presentation to automate our code review process; ensuring code reviews can happen before committing to master branch.

You're Off the Hook: Blinding Security SoftwareCylance
User-mode hooking is dead. It’s also considered harmful due to interference with OS-level exploit mitigations like Control Flow Guard (CFG). At BlackHat US 2016, the “Captain Hook” talk revealed there were multiple serious security issues in AV hooking — we will put the final nail in the coffin by showing how trivial it is to bypass user-mode hooks. We will demonstrate a universal user-mode unhooking approach that can be included in any binary to blind security software from monitoring code execution and perform heuristic analysis. The tool and source code will be released on GitHub after the talk.

Ricostruzione forense di NTFS con metadati parzialmente danneggiatiAndrea Lazzarotto
NTFS è uno dei file system più diffusi, essendo usato di default dai sistemi Windows e anche negli hard disk esterni ad alta capacità. Quando accade un danno hardware o software, può verificarsi la corruzione di una o più partizioni le quali diventano illeggibili.
Nel talk sono state discusse alcune tecniche di ricostruzione efficaci anche in presenza di metadati danneggiati. L'attenzione verte in particolare su NTFS e su RecuperaBit, un software creato dal relatore per implementare la ricostruzione forense di NTFS.
Le slide sono relative al talk omonimo presentato a ESC 2016 il 01/09/2016 a Forte Bazzera (VE). Il video è disponibile qui:

This presentation was used to train the students studying Embedded Systems in the Anna University campus (AU-PERS Centre) by me (Sanjeevi Prasad). I used to be a guest lecturer here in the year 2003. I was given an appreciation letter by this centre because they saw distinct improvements in the performances of their students in project evaluation by the IT professionals of a well-known IT MNC.

Syteline Patch Evaluation
• Dan Mauk, System Analyst, Star Cutter Company
(You can never be too paranoid)
2. A little about our environment
• 3+ years with Syteline
• 140 licensed users
• Single Database Server / Single Utility Server
• 24 Application Databases / 8 highly transactional, some 24/7
• 4 Entity Databases
• Single Forms and Objects Database
• 200+ itemized Modifications
• Currently on Syteline 8.03.11 – about 2 years
• 200+ patches applied to this version
• 8 Physical locations
3. How our Patch Evaluation evolved
• Where we started
– Scripts and Queries customized for each Patch
• Difficult and time consuming
• Second Phase
– Hypertext Application to manage the Scripts
• Allowed us to rapidly evaluate multiple patches
• Where we are today
– Incorporated a 3rd Party file comparison tool
• High level comparisons that aid moving changes into Modifications
4. Audience for Patch Information
• Project management
– 20,000 foot view of patch
• Application Knowledge Experts (AKE)
– Fixes included in the patch
• Developers/Programmers
– Modifications touched by the patch
• System Managers
– Impact on operations during patch
• End Users
– Mostly when will it be applied
5. Why spend time Evaluating Patches
• Detect Impact on Partner Solutions.
• Determine follow up steps needed.
– Not all deliverables will touch your environment.
– Add or remove Partner Solutions for follow up.
– Knowing exactly what to re-applied reduces down time.
• Modifications may need changes to align with patch.
– Possibly learn how to move changes to Modifications.
• Reduce Downtime.
6. Questions to be answered
• What does the patch fix?
• What does the patch “touch” in Syteline?
• Will Modifications be affected?
• Why are only some of the deliverables applied to
our system?
• Are 3rd party products involved?
• Are there post-patch activities?
7. Anatomy of a Patch
Cover Letters
XML list of deliverables
CSV list of deliverables
Zip file deliverables
12. Why are only some of the deliverables
applied to our system?
Query for previously patched items
13. What is inside a log file?
• Header
– Main interest is Options Settings
• Pending Tasks
– This area will report what will and will not be applied in a patch
