The Effects of Autonomous Cars on Modern DrivingMack Prioleau
Through its ability to perceive its surroundings, an autonomous vehicle can perform essential activities without the need for human intervention. A completely automated driving system (ADS) is used in an autonomous vehicle to respond to external conditions that a human driver would handle. At no point is a human passenger required to assume control of the car, nor is a human passenger required to be present in the vehicle at all.
Instead of "autonomous," the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) uses "automated." One reason is that the term "autonomy" has a broader meaning than only "electromechanical." A completely autonomous vehicle would be able to make decisions on its own. The terms “self-driving” and “autonomous” are frequently used interchangeably, but these are two different words.
The SAE has defined six levels of vehicle autonomy, ranging from entirely manual to fully autonomous, and the US Department of Transportation has approved these standards. The extent of the autonomous car's independence in operation control advances as the levels rise. The car has no control over its functioning at level 0, and the human driver is in charge of all driving. At level 1, the ADAS (advanced driving assistance system) can assist the driver with acceleration and braking.
In some circumstances, the ADAS can handle acceleration and braking at level 2. However, the human driver must maintain undivided attention to the driving environment. The Advanced driving system (ADS) can undertake all aspects of the driving duty at level 3, but the human driver must regain control when the ADS requests it. In the remaining cases, the human driver performs the required tasks.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
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.
