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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Editor's Notes
Developed a monthly national call in partnership with Practice Greenhealth to highlight an area of sustainability, to give CHI hospitals useful tools in developing programs in these areas and offer help as needed to maintain these programs once implemented.
Developed divisional green teams with bimonthly calls in an effort to create awareness of the program, educate on sustainability principles and to share ideas that other hospitals have implemented successfully in their area.
CHI received 15 awards for excellence in sustainability from Practice Green Health. These awards were for Partner recognition, Making Medicine Mercury free, Partner for change and Partner for change with distinction. These awards are given to hospitals in recognition of their commitment on setting goals, tracking data, benchmarking, and sharing successes
CHI has been working on energy reduction and the related reduction in carbon emissions for more than 5 years. CHI joined the Healthier hospitals initiative in the leaner energy challenge in 2013
In 2012, CHI became one of the sponsoring systems for the Healthier Hospitals Initiative – a national effort to encourage hospitals around the country to become environmental stewards, setting the example for other industries. As a sponsoring system, CHI leadership made a direct investment in this multi-year project with the intention of engaging all CHI entities in the effort. As part of our commitment, CHI has chosen two initiatives as its focus – engaged leadership and leaner energy. With full support from top leadership at CHI, nearly every CHI hospital was enrolled in the program and is participating in environmental efforts around leaner energy, safe reprocessing, waste reduction, safer chemicals and healthy food.
Through effort of the facilities team leaner energy has been one of CHI goals for the last 5 years.
Through effort of the facilities team leaner energy has been one of CHI goals for the last 5 years. In 2013 Chi has reached a savings goal of $478,287 for a carbon reduction of 3,562 metric tons which is the equivalent of planting 24,380 mature trees.
In 2013 water was not a priority for CHI but in 2014 will be exploring numerous way to REDUCE their water consumption in its facilities.
CHI has had a very successful reprocessing program for over the last 3 years.
In 2013 CHI reprocessed 1,142,346 devises which diverted 945,376 tons of waste for a waste savings of $212,716.
By this effort CHI saved the equivalent of 106 tons of carbon from escaping into the atmosphere. This equates into the use of 141.9 Hybrid cars or approximately the saving of 10,989 gallons of gasoline. Through this initiative CHI realized a savings of $10,183,023.26 and a growth of the program of 28%.

Through this initiative CHI realized a savings of $10,183,023.26 and a growth of the program of 28%.
In 2013 the Value Analysis group embarked on a program to streamline and standardize individual hospital custom packs into 8 national packs. For a potential savings of more than $383K. They are also working on 4 more packs with plans to look at all the custom packs in the system in 2014. This standardization will equate to big savings for CHI in the future.
CHI is committed to using safer chemicals and products. The value analysis group is designing a new product introduction process which will require the vendor to disclose the presence of any potentially harmful chemicals or substances within the products being considered for purchase within CHI.
In 2013 CHI recycled 20,021 tons of material. This weight is the approximate the weight of 17,339 hippos. Taking this material out of our landfills not only improves our planet but produces large savings for CHI hospitals. This amount of recycling constitutes about 18% of our total waste.
As an example CHI’s usage of reusable sharps containers resulted in the elimination of 278 tons of plastic and 13 tons of cardboard from the landfill. This also eliminated 163 ton of CO2 from escaping into the environment which is the equivalent of saving 16,732 gallons of gasoline or 6,146 tanks of propane to fire our barbeques.
