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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

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.
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.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

8. When do apps get terminated
• System needs more memory
• User switch occurs
• System shutdown
• Apps crash
Apps do not get notified when
they are getting terminated
10. Suspend under the hood
• Suspended apps are not scheduled by the NT Kernel
• No CPU, Disk or Network consumed
• All threads are suspended
• Apps remain in memory
• Kernel ensures apps are not suspended in critical
sections that could cause system wide deadlocks
• Apps instantly resumed from suspend when brought to
foreground
12. App Activation Through Contracts
• Apps are activated through contracts
• Launch, search, ShareTarget, etc.
• Apps need to initialize contract specific actions
• Context is provided
Running App
launch
shareTarget
activated
kind
search
13. App crash? Start over
• Apps that are stuck are no fun
• Your app can be terminated abruptly in any of these
cases
• Too long to load
• Too long to suspend
• Stopped handling input messages (Blocking I/O on UI thread)
• Task manager
• Bring the user back home, and ignore saved user
session state
• previousExecutionState is provided in activation event
args
14. Best practices for saving and restoring state
Scenario You should….
User is using your
App
• Save user data incrementally
App switched away
from (Suspending)
• Save where the user is – what
screen they are on, for example
Not running App
launched by user
(Activated)
• Bring the user back and restore
their session as if they never left
Suspended App
launched by user
(Resuming)
• Do nothing
17. Search 1 2 3
1. Search box is scoped to the
main app on screen
2. Query suggestions provided by
the main app on screen
• Autocompletes to terms for which
the app has search results
3. List of installed Windows 8 style
apps that have implemented the
search contract
23. Badges
• Overlays status on top of tile
• Supports square and wide tiles
• Number up to 99 or pre-defined glyph:
• Always legible on top of images
BadgeBadge
24. Notification Queuing
• By default only last notification shown
• Opt-in to automatically cycle tile through last five
notifications
25. Live Tiles things to remember
• Tiles updated using pre-defined templates
• Text-only, image-only or combination
• JPEG or PNG only, max size 150 KB
• Local, cloud or background updates
Invest in a Great Tile
27. Secondary Tiles
• Tiles created by “pinning” content from
app
• Pin initiated by app via simple runtime
call
• User confirms pin operation via system UI
• Exposes a personalized surface for app
• Same capabilities as app tiles
• Launch leads to relevant content
34. Live tiles with push notifications
• Tiles can be updated even if
your app is not running!
• Push notifications can be used
to remotely update a tile on
the Start screen
• Great for showing the newest
content available to your users

39. Best Practices for Tiles
• Display new, tailored and engaging content to the user
• Keep tile fresh by updating as your app content
changes
• Reference content that lives on your app’s
home page so the user can find it easily.
• Keep content safely ignorable and glanceable - for short
messages only
• Use square size if tile is not live
• No display ads!
