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.

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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Their Sky)
To me, this sets it all up. If you don’t understand your role as a field marketer, you definitely cannot be successful. Tip number 1: recognize your strategic value to the company and set a clear definition to your organization (and yourself)
A common misperception of field marketing is thinking that it’s all about events. Yes, field events are a piece of the field marketing success matrix, but your value is SO much more to your company. You should see yourself, and attain visibility for yourself, as a true partner of your sales organization.
Leverage you marketing teams to help you, too. See your part of the matrix and understand where your role fits into the bigger picture to help your demand generation team be successful.
In order to create true alignment with your sales team, you need to be able to speak their language. Take some time to study their jargon, and especially, their roles and processes.
We all know the classic tales of visiting France and how the French look down upon you for not at least TRYING to learn their language. Don’t let this happen to you when you engage with your sales teams. Ensure you know some key sales terms to speak their language and show that you truly understand their perspective. In a meeting and don’t know an acronym that comes up? Find an opportunity to sneak onto the web to search for it, or bravely admit that you’re learning and ask for clarification. True partners will value your desire to learn!
Territory Analysis – review of how many accounts in your geo that fit the right profile/active engagement/competing products/other buying indicators
Account Selection – taking the above to decide which accounts to focus on
Outbounding/Prospecting – tools available to find the right people and make the right connections
Forecasting - Estimating future sales performance for a certain time period (typically based on past data) – helps with goal setting and strategy.
CRM Accountability - day job responsibility to keep CRM updated with key information about accounts
Lead Statuses – if they mark someone as an opportunity – should you be marketing to them anymore?
Touch Stages – partner with your SDR team to understand their level of contact with a person
Average Deal Cycle – how long does it typically take to close a deal in your segment? 1 week? 1 month? 6 months to a year?
Levels of Engagement – intro meeting/RFP/demo (pre-sales)/POC/procurement/IT/contract – also understand what can delay a deal

It’s important to connect with your sales teams to understand where you should focus TOGETHER. In a very simple example, you don’t want to be focusing on a region of San Francisco, when your sales management sees most of their pipeline coming from Dallas this quarter. Be sure to align with their goals to get the most bang for your buck for effective programs.
Identify geographies/accounts in need of support
Partner on programs to bolster these areas
Understand how sales goals relate to your own. See if you can access a dashboard where all of these goals live. Ask for quarterly quota goals to help you understand how many programs to run in order to effectively support the team.
The last mistake leads me to this one – not partnering with sales overall. The best part of your job is getting to know your sales reps, their styles, their needs. Working with their management team to understand where they want to focus for the quarter/year. Enjoy this part of the job exploring different personalities and making life-long relationships.
Don’t let this be you. Work on creating a relationship with your sales teams – from the top to the bottom – create an individual relationship with each person that you support.
Be transparent. Share what your goals are, as well as understand theirs. Set expectations for programs – we’ll only do these again if we’re able to get 2 opportunities per program, etc. Get buy-in before executing programs to ensure a true partnership for success.

Align across all organizations in the structure. And identify a few ways you can help!
We have a lot of tools available for you to use to help with your prospecting.
MOPs will create these reports and we can pull them for you.
Use InsideView to identify accounts with viable information
People who have hit the website often are warmer leads
Filter on your spreadsheet under different criteria to see where the most action is happening, where we have the most names, etc.
Use InsideView to create alerts for your geography/accounts to send you updates, use available tools to map out who you should reach out to first, where to go on the organizational chart to reach the right audience

Multiple programs to help you build stronger relationships with prospects and push deals forward; focus on quality vs. quantity to get the right people involved for 1:1 interactions. Can have a pipeline building focus (note: new names/new accounts) or focus on deal acceleration (note: conversations ongoing)
Industry specific/vertical programs to hit on a specific hot topic for a specialty
Target Account-Hosted Events – go where your people are; show stewardship via sponsoring charity events; get into other business units by showcasing software
We all make this mistake. We want to be helpful, so we say “yes”! To everything that comes our way. Even I struggle with this. For example, I probably shouldn’t have said yes to this webinar right after Summit and before SiriusDecisions Summit!
Sales will ask for the world. And, as a good partner, you’ll want to help give it to them. But you need to learn when to put a yield sign up and take a step back. Evaluate the request strategically – will this support your goals, does the sales manager want to focus in this area, do you have budget/time/resources to support.
Sometimes you’ll have to say no. My best advice: be transparent. Help them learn. Why isn’t this suggestion a good fit? Do you not have good messaging around that vertical? Is your company moving to sell to B2B and away from B2C so an eCommerce event doesn’t make sense? Has budget been allocated for the quarter?
And offer alernatives – maybe another team has budget to spare (think: partners/sales), maybe they can manage a smaller scale program on their own, maybe you can revisit next quarter when you’ll have more budget.
As always, be professional, respectful, and prove that you’re trying to make the best decision for the company.
You are not alone! Leverage your internal partners for success
There are a lot of teams at your disposal. Work on common goals. Leverage their expertise.
Segment/Product Marketing: messaging/presenters
Business Development: budget/resources/partners for lead gen
Marketing Operations: report building/program understanding
Customer Marketing: customer stories/presenters
Sales Operations: reports/account ownership
If you’re doing marketing right, then you’re tracking the performance of your programs. If this raises an alarm bell for you, it’s time to start evaluating some marketing technology to help you out.
For the sake of argument, let’s assume you have the right technology to help you understand the value of your programs. Don’t make the error of just uploading your leads and then let it go. Make sure you’re entering everyone into your system AND managing for accurate attribution.
Sounds like a lot of work, right? Well, if you don’t, you could make one of the biggest mistakes—re-running poor performing programs. Review your data regularly, interpret what it’s telling you, and create repeatable, revenue-driving programs instead of executing on ideas that “sound good.” Move away from the fluffy feel-good sales programs and invest in those that will drive your business!

There’s a lot of data available, so make sure you’re coming to the right conclusions!
Many ways that something could not live up to snuff. Reflect on what goes well and what doesn’t. Maybe you can learn and optimize to improve performance, or maybe you should just ditch it altogether. But it’s always good to try new things!

I haven’t met a field marketer who isn’t a Type A personality, but maybe I’m not branching out enough. Field marketing is a very versatile role, so it’s imperative to stay organized, keep a sharp focus on details, and be prepared for anything and everything.
Figure out how you best stay organized. You’re likely supporting multiple, multiple reps (in my case, 50+), so figure out how to stay on top of your obligations. Don’t overpromise, and set yourself up for success. Don’t get frustrated and throw it all away like this guy!
Field marketers need to live by this principle – anything that can go wrong, will go wrong
Company priorities will change
Account focus will change
Attendees won’t show
Or too many will show!
Sales reps will turnover
Speakers will cancel
And on and on and on…
Think like a Boy Scout: Be Prepared
Have a Plan B, Plan C, Plan Z, even!
I promise, it will all work out in the end. Unless the world is LITERALLY ending. It’s going to be okay. There is almost always a solution to the problem at hand. A great time to not be afraid to ask for help!

We all make mistakes. Really. Even perfectionists (aka the personality type typically drawn to the field marketing profession). But my motto is, it’s not a mistake unless you DON’T learn from it (and then do it again…). So, you’re welcome for helping you learn from others’ mistakes instead of having to make your own.
