A collection of techniques that allow users to escalate privileges to local administrator and then to NT Authority\System. On a windows domain readers can use the described techniques to escalate to domain administrators.
GNU Toolchain is the de facto standard of IT industrial and has been improved by comprehensive open source contributions. In this session, it is expected to cover the mechanism of compiler driver, system interaction (take GNU/Linux for example), linker, C runtime library, and the related dynamic linker. Instead of analyzing the system design, the session is use case driven and illustrated progressively.

LCU14-107: OP-TEE on ARMv8
---------------------------------------------------
Speaker: Jens Wiklander
Date: September 15, 2014
---------------------------------------------------
★ Session Summary ★
SWG is porting OP-TEE to ARMv8 using Fixed Virtual Platform. Initially OP-TEE is running secure world in aarch32 mode, but with the normal world code running in aarch64 mode. Since ARMv8 uses ARM Trusted Firmware we have patched it with an OP-TEE dispatcher to be able to communicate between secure and normal world.

So you think the systems at your employer can actually use a little bit more security? Or what about your own system to gain more privacy? In this talk, we discuss the reasons for Linux server and system hardening. First we learn why we should protect our crown jewels, and what can wrong if we ignore information security. Next is getting a better understanding of the possible resources we can use. And since system hardening can be time-consuming, we discuss some tools to help in the system hardening quest.
A File Structure should be according to a required format that the operating system can understand.
A file has a certain defined structure according to its type.
A text file is a sequence of characters organized into lines.
A source file is a sequence of procedures and functions.
An object file is a sequence of bytes organized into blocks that are understandable by the machine.
File Type
File type refers to the ability of the operating system to distinguish different types of file such as text files source files and binary files etc. Many operating systems support many types of files. Operating system like MS-DOS and UNIX have the following types of files −
Ordinary files
These are the files that contain user information.
These may have text, databases or executable program.
The user can apply various operations on such files like add, modify, delete or even remove the entire file.
Directory files
These files contain list of file names and other information related to these files.
Special files
These files are also known as device files.
These files represent physical device like disks, terminals, printers, networks, tape drive etc.
LAS16-111: Easing Access to ARM TrustZone – OP-TEE and Raspberry Pi 3Linaro
LAS16-111: Raspberry Pi3, OP-TEE and JTAG debugging
Speakers:
Date: September 26, 2016
★ Session Description ★
ARM TrustZone is a critical technology for securing IoT devices and systems. But awareness of TrustZone and its benefits lags within the maker community as well as among enterprises. The first step to solving this problem is lowering the cost of access. Sequitur Labs and Linaro have joined forces to address this problem by making a port of OP-TEE available on the Raspberry Pi 3. The presentation covers the value of TrustZone for securing IoT and how customers can learn more through this joint effort.
Embedded systems security remains a challenge for many developers. Awareness of mature, proven technologies such as ARM TrustZone is very low among the Maker community as well as among enterprises. As a result this foundational technology is largely being ignored as a security solution. Sequitur Labs and Linaro have taken an innovative approach combining an Open Source solution – OP-TEE with Raspberry Pi 3. The Raspberry Pi 3 is one of the world’s most popular platforms among device makers. Its value as an educational tool for learning about embedded systems development is proven.
Sequitur Labs have also enabled bare metal debugging via JTag on the Pi 3 enhancing the value of the Pi 3 as an educational tool for embedded systems development.
The presentation will focus on
ARM v8a architecture and instruction set
ARM Trusted Firmware
TrustZone and OP-TEE basics
JTAG and bare metal debugging the Raspberry Pi 3

Linux Kernel Booting Process (1) - For NLKBshimosawa
Describes the bootstrapping part in Linux and some related technologies.
This is the part one of the slides, and the succeeding slides will contain the errata for this slide.
XPDDS19 Keynote: Xen Dom0-less - Stefano Stabellini, Principal Engineer, XilinxThe Linux Foundation
This talk will introduce Dom0-less: a new way of using Xen to build mixed-criticality solutions. Dom0-less is a Xen feature that adds a novel approach to static partitioning based on virtualization. It allows multiple domains to start at boot time directly from the Xen hypervisor, decreasing boot times dramatically. Xen userspace tools, such as xl and libvirt, become optional.
Dom0-less extends the existing device tree based Xen boot protocol to cover information required by additional domains. Binaries, such as kernels and ramdisks, are loaded by the bootloader (u-boot) and advertised to Xen via new device tree bindings.
The audience will learn how to use Dom0-less to partition the system. Uboot and device tree configuration details will be explained to enable the audience to get the most out of this feature. The talk will include a status update and details on future plans.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
