1) This lesson plan aims to teach 11th grade US History students about the Vietnam War through an analysis of protest songs from the era. Students will be placed into groups and research different songs, examining lyrics and messages. They will then create a PowerPoint presentation combining the songs and imagery from the time period.
2) Students will be assessed based on their contribution to the group PowerPoint and two individual essay responses analyzing a song and their perspective during the war as either a hawk or dove. The lesson incorporates technology, group work, and interviews to provide students with diverse perspectives and learning experiences.
Students will learn about the Newburgh Crisis and Washington’s Newburgh Address through primary and secondary sources, then write a persuasive essay that compares Washington’s character to a leader of their choosing who has overcome a difficult obstacle.

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.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

• Identify various points of view about the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
• Discover several social themes present in much of the popular music of the period.
• Recognize propaganda devices at work in specific song lyrics of the time.
Tools and Resources
• “The Americans” textbook (Chapter 30)
• iBooks
Preparation
Technology/Classroom Arrangement and Management Strategies:
• Students will be allowed time in class and during Panther time to access the Internet to conduct
research and design PowerPoint presentations.
Prerequisite technology skills needed by students:
• Basic working knowledge of the Internet and word processing skills.
• Basic editing skills in using PowerPoint and ability to embed protest songs within presentation.
Lesson Development
Focus and Review of previous work/knowledge:
The students and teacher will engage in a class discussion as review of the meaning and foundations of
2. The Cold War as it was essentially a competition between two very different ways of organizing
government, society, and the economy. We will discuss the American-led western nations’ belief in
democracy, individual freedom and a market economy, and the Soviet belief in a totalitarian state and
socialism. Further we will revisit the concept that the U.S. government and its anti-Communist strategy of
containment in Asia directly as it resulted in America’s involvement in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
Anticipatory set:
What is propaganda?
What is a protest?
How does contemporary music reflect the voice of the people?
What were doves and hawks and what did each group represent?
Imagine the school board has just announced that the junior/senior prom will be cancelled at all county
schools this year. What would you or could you do to attempt to change the policy? Would you be willing to
go to jail as a result of your actions? Teacher will listen to students brainstorm methods of protest.
Instructional Activity:
• Students will be placed in groups of 9 forming 3 groups. Each group will be assigned the following
songs:
o “The Star Spangled Banner” Jimi
Hendrix (1970)
o “War” Edwin Starr (1970)
o “Ballad of the Green Berets” Sgt.
Barry Sandler (1966)
o “The Unknown Soldier” The
Doors (1968)
o “Give Peace A Chance” John
Lennon (1969)
o “Fortunate Son” Creedence
Clearwater Revival (1969)
o “I-Feel-Like-I’m-to-Die-Rag”
Country Joe McDonald (1970)
o “Ohio” Crosby, Stills, Nash
&Young (1970)
o “Born in the USA” Bruce
Springsteen (1984)
• Students will research each song and determine if it could be considered a protest song, and if so
which side of the Vietnam argument did the song support.
• Students will examine specific lyrics of each song and determine what the artist’s message was
attempting to communicate to the audience.
• Each student will share their information with their group on their individually assigned song.
• Each group will design a PowerPoint presentation creatively combining each song with visual
imagery of the time, either in Vietnam or at home.
Guided practice and checking for understanding (student activities):
Students will edit the PowerPoint presentation with the following information:
o Students will be encouraged to use lyrics found in each song combined with visuals
(primary sources) throughout their group PowerPoint in order to tell the story of the time
visually. Each song must be used and embedded within the presentation with a minimum
of three slides.
When reviewing selected songs students should ask themselves:
- What is the “mood” of the song?
- Is it a patriotic song?
- Is it a protest song?
- Is it both?
3. Independent practice (student activities):
-Students will have time in class and during Panther time to work in their groups to ensure their
project as a whole is complete for presentation. At this point the groups will be able to edit or add
any information that could perhaps enhance or improve the project once linked together as a
whole.
.
Closure:
-Each group will present their PowerPoint to the class. We will discuss the overall trends that were
commonly found in each group’s research and presentations. We will also discuss any differing
trends or information that may have been discovered by one or more group.
-The teacher will then present her own PowerPoint presentation linking songs from the Cold War
era during the 1980’s, specifically the songs “Russians” by Sting (1985) and “Winds of Change” by
the Scorpions (1990)
Homework:
-Students will be asked to interview two adults that can discuss with the student their own
experiences here in the United States or abroad during the Cold War and also Vietnam War Eras.
Topics of discussion could be such events as the Cuban Missile Crisis, protests during the Vietnam
War, being drafter and or serving in the Armed Services during these times, the fall of the Berlin
Wall, their life as students at that time (ex: home bomb shelters and school drills.) Remind students
to include their interviewees thoughts and feeling on at least two of the protest songs used in our
project. Each student will draft a list with a minimum of twelve thoughtfully drawn up and engaging
questions for each interview and write an essay describing the interviewees experiences and the
students reflection upon that experience as it relates to what we have learned in our unit on the
Cold War. Students will present to the class in a 5-7 minute presentation their experience and
findings.
Evaluation Procedure
Assessment of objectives:
Each student will be asked to complete the two short essays below in class:
• Review and respond to the following piece of popular music/lyrics from the Vietnam War, discuss
the purpose and content of the song.
• Imagine it is 1967. Do you think you would ally yourself with the hawks or the doves? Discuss the
reasons that support your decision.
Adaptations:
-Students with more technological experience and will assist the group in creating and embedding
the audio into the PowerPoint presentation.
-The teacher will also assist in pairing students with individuals with whom they will be able to
conduct an informative interview.
