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:

2. CASA
Established in 1975, CASA works to build and strengthen
the vitality of the English-speaking community of the

10. Other challenges:
A diminishing leadership base
Dependency on government assistance
Low rate of bilingualism
Social isolation due to language barrier
Few formal institutions
Lack of access to services in English
11. Despite these challenging demographics
and issues, English-speakers in the Gaspésie
are very proud of their roots and wish to
remain in the region.
How can we work to increase the participation of the community
in theTourism Industry? Specifically, the following groups…
12. English-speaking seniors
The proportion of seniors in the English-speaking
population (19.9%) is similar to that of the French-
speaking population (20%).
The total number of English-speaking seniors is 1,980.
Senior have identified the importance of feeling valued,
reducing social isolation, having access to cognitive,
social and physical activities and participation in the
broader community as priority issues.
13. English-speaking Seniors
English-speaking
seniors have:
o A strong sense of
belonging
o A high rate of
volunteerism and
engagement with local
community
organizations
o A strong sense of
identity
o Unique talents
(storytellers, artisans,
traditional skills)

Compared to their French-speaking neighbours, English-speaking youth
aged 15-29 in the Gaspe and Magdalen Islands are more likely to:
• have a high school diploma or less (and less likely to have a university degree)
• be unemployed (34.4% vs 15.3%)
• be living on less than $20,000 a year
• be living below the low-income cut-off
15. English-speaking Youth
English-speaking youth have a strong sense of
attachment to their communities.
In a recent regional consultation, youth
identified lack of French language as a major
barrier to employment - only 13% of youth felt
they had sufficient reading and writing skills in
French.
Bilingualism is not a major issue in Côte-de-
Gaspé, where the majority of secondary
students are bilingual.
16. Museums and Interpretation Centres
The English-speaking community has a very
rich history to share. English-language heritage
organizations struggle to market this history,
including:
Cascapedia River Museum, Duthie Point, Kempffer
Cultural Centre, Chaleur Bay Military Museum,
Kempt Road Interpretation Centre, Gaspé Jersey-
Guernsey Association, Heritage Gaspé, unmarked
heritage buildings, historical cemeteries and others.
17. Discussion
How can English-speaking seniors benefit from
the tourism industry? How can the tourism
industry benefit from the participation of
seniors?
What can be done to encourage the
participation of English-speaking youth in the
industry?
What strategies would enable English language
heritage organizations to increase their
tourism potential?
