Writing i-week-5.2-run-on-and-comma-splice1
Americans use more energy per person than any other country, though they make up only 6% of the world's population. In 1975, the total US energy costs were around $170 billion, and energy needs have risen each year since. Most US energy comes from crude oil, and since domestic production cannot meet demand, nearly half of oil used is imported. Estimates suggest the US has a 25-30 year supply of domestic oil remaining, which could be depleted by 2007 if consumption continues as-is, and natural gas supplies may run out even sooner. As energy demands and prices continue increasing, the availability and cost of future supplies remains uncertain.

Unit 13 lesson 3 sound devices
Poets use sound devices like rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, and repetition to achieve a musical quality in their poems. Rhythm is created by stressed and unstressed syllables in a controlled pattern called meter. Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds at the end of words in a rhyme scheme. Alliteration repeats initial consonant sounds while assonance repeats vowel sounds. Repetition is used to emphasize certain words or phrases.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
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.
