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.

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:

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Tech tips for non techies
1. Tech Tips for Non Techies
By: Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
May, 2014
2. Who is This Non – Techie Tech Lover?
• Communications Specialist - African Women’s
Development Fund.
• Co-Founder of Award Winning Blog
‘Adventures from the Bedrooms of African
Women’.
• Writer – published by The Guardian,
Chimurenga, This is Africa, Feminist Africa,
Open Democracy etc
4. Adopt the attitude - Tech is fun!
• Don’t be bamboozled by the ‘experts’. A lot of
tech today is user friendly. Experiment with
new tech.
• For e.g. many years ago I taught myself how to
create newsletters using Constant Contact.
Today you can use tools like Mail Chimp for
free. What stops you creating your own
newsletter?
5. Have a learning attitude
Pick up tech skills from people, places and
spaces.
• Joining Blogging Ghana in 2008 encouraged
me to start a personal blog.
• In 2010 David Ajao encouraged me to move to
a Word Press blog. That skill helps me manage
WP based websites in my job today.
6. Life Long Learning
• In 2013, Rose Afriyie urged me to start Google
hangouts for Adventures, and sent me a ‘How
to’ PDF.
• Take advantage of ‘optional tech clinics’ at
conferences – In 2014 at the Association of
Progressive Communications meeting on
‘Gender, Internet and Sexuality’ I learnt about
digital security and open source tools I had no
prior knowledge of. Priceless!
7. Learn from random places
And not so random places…
I get great tech tips from:
• New Organizing's ‘Tip of The Day’ (H/T
@HakimaAbbas).
• Subscribing to Fast Company’s newsletters.
• Magazines - some of the best tips I’ve seen
recently have been from ‘womens’ and in flight
magazines
8. Make a note of useful tech tips
I keep a folder on my computer called ‘Good
Examples’ where I store useful PDFs, great
reports, innovative templates etc.
If you have a smartphone make full use of all
that technology. Take pictures of tech tips in
magazines, use your memo function and voice
recorder to capture notes.
10. APC Digital Security Tech Tips
• Use an open source browser like Firefox.
• Use complex passwords and a tool like
KeePass so you never need to remember
another password.
• Change your behaviour. It’s politically
important to try out open source tools.
* My key takeaways after participation in the APC ‘Gender, Sexuality and Internet Meeting’, April 2014,
Malaysia
11. Tech tips from Glamour
• Delete applications you don’t use (inc. from Trash).
Restart computer.
• Clear browsing history and cookies. Digital security
training taught me that this can be specially relevant
for activists, and people living in ‘repressive regimes’.
• Check for viruses. Recommended: Avast Free
Antivirus
• Test your broadband speed.
* UK edition. June 2014. 'Laptop running S-L-O-W' page 54
12. Tips from a variety of sources
• Check out www.archiveguide.witness.org for
useful tips on documenting.
• Save documents in the Cloud. Try Dropbox
and Google Drive for e.g.
• Tag and manage your pictures with Aperture
(Mac users)
• Bookmark useful websites
• Back up your computer
13. Staying safe online
• Password protect your computer and phone
(use a complex password)
• Do not save usernames and passwords as a
default. Use a tool like KeePass instead.
• Do not use the same password across multiple
platforms and accounts.
• Spread the knowledge – you’re only as safe as
your network in social media spaces.
14. You can never be too safe
• Do not give out your data unnecessarily. Do
you really need to give a 3rd party application
access to your Facebook profile and by
extension all your contacts?
• Consider whether you really need to have
your geo tagging feature activated. A potential
pro and a con
15. Online safety squared
• Do not give people access to your passwords,
and when you need to, change passwords
afterwards.
• Decide which of your social media accounts
are for keeping in touch with ‘real friends’ and
which are useful for meeting people outside
your network.
16. Case in point
• I use @nas009 on Twitter in my personal
capacity. I tweet what I like and rarely self
censure.
• My Facebook used to be strictly for people I
considered friends. However, my FB has
recently become an extension of work so I’ve
created a 2nd account for ‘close friends’.
17. Learn More About Tech
Useful websites to check out to learn more:
• www.takebackthetech.org
• www.securityinabox.org
• www.tacticaltech.org
• http://www.openspaceworld.org
18. The Best Way to Contact Me
• Tweet me @nas009 – by far my preferred way
for anyone to get in touch with me.
• If 140 characters are not enough then drop
me an email me via nana@awdf.org
