Sowmya
Computer viruses are malicious software programs that spread from one computer to another without permission. They can corrupt or delete files, use email to spread, and even erase entire hard drives. Viruses are often spread through email attachments, downloads, and infected removable media. It's important to have updated antivirus software, practice safe email/web habits, and only run as a standard user to help prevent virus infections. Common types of viruses include overwrite viruses that delete file contents, boot viruses that infect startup sectors, and worms that self-replicate and are difficult to remove. Infected computers may run slowly, have missing or corrupted files, experience errors, or have other abnormal behaviors. The first steps when detecting a possible virus are to install

Introduction to Malware
Malware can take many forms such as viruses, worms, trojan horses, adware, and spyware. Viruses and worms are programs that can copy themselves and spread from computer to computer, sometimes causing harm. Adware displays advertisements, and spyware tracks personal information without consent. Phishing scams try to steal personal details through fraudulent emails or websites. Users should use antivirus software, avoid suspicious emails/attachments, and practice safe password habits to protect against malware threats.
11 virus vs. antivirus
Computer viruses are malicious programs that can damage systems by replicating themselves and infecting other files. Antivirus software works to detect and remove viruses using techniques like scanning files against a dictionary of known viruses and monitoring programs for suspicious behaviors. However, antivirus software has limitations as well, such as not detecting new viruses immediately, potentially reducing system performance, and occasionally containing unwanted advertising software.

Computer virus
Computer viruses are programs that replicate and spread like biological viruses. They can slow down systems, erase files, or crash computers by formatting disks. Viruses spread by attaching to other files and transferring via external drives or infected repair disks. There are several types of viruses like boot, polymorphic, macro, and worm viruses as well as Trojan horses. To prevent viruses, users should install antivirus software, regularly update it, be wary of email attachments, avoid unnecessary downloads, and only install registered software. Popular antivirus programs include Norton, McAfee, Avast, Quick Heal, and Panda.
Viruses and Spyware
The document discusses different types of electronic infections including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, spyware, and email spam. It provides details on each type, such as how viruses and worms spread, how Trojan horses can masquerade as other programs to cause harm, and how adware and spyware track users' activities without consent. It also offers defenses against each threat, emphasizing the importance of keeping anti-virus software updated to have effective protection.
Malware
Malware is a general term for harmful programs that are intentionally inserted into a system by exploiting vulnerabilities. It can damage or disturb the system. There are three main types: viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Viruses replicate by modifying other programs, worms spread independently through networks, and Trojan horses masquerade as genuine programs to introduce viruses. Examples include virus Elk Cloner that attached to a game and activated after it was started 50 times, worm Sassar that spread through vulnerable network ports and slowed computers, and Trojan horse Beast that functioned as remote access tool giving attackers control over infected machines.
Jeremy Virus Effect
The document outlines several common effects that viruses can have on computers. These include filling the computer with useless files which takes up storage space, messing up files by making parts unlocatable, corrupting the file allocation table which tracks file locations, damaging the boot sector so the computer cannot start up, erasing the entire hard drive or diskette, directly resetting the computer, slowing down processing speed, corrupting files so they cannot be opened, redefining keyboard keys to trigger harmful actions, locking the keyboard entirely, and stealing private information for malicious purposes.

Computer viruses are malicious software programs that can damage computers by deleting files, displaying unwanted messages, or slowing down systems. Viruses spread by attaching themselves to other programs or files and transferring to other computers through networks, email attachments, removable drives, or downloaded files from the internet. While some are created for research or art, most are made to damage systems or steal personal information. Antivirus software detects viruses by scanning files and memory against a database of known virus signatures or monitoring for common virus behaviors. It is important to keep antivirus software up to date, avoid opening suspicious email attachments, only download files from trusted sources, and backup files regularly to prevent virus infections and data loss.

A computer virus is a program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission by attaching itself to other programs. Viruses can damage data files, corrupt firmware, display unwanted messages, and cause computers to restart unexpectedly. Worms are similar but can spread autonomously between computers without needing to be part of another program. Both viruses and worms can severely slow down computer and network performance and access sensitive information. It is important to use antivirus software, avoid opening attachments from unknown senders, and not execute downloaded files before scanning them.

Prompting language models is hard, while programming language models is easy. In this talk, I will discuss the state-of-the-art framework DSPy for programming foundation models with its powerful optimizers and runtime constraint system.
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
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.

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:
