GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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:

Web2.0 2012 - lesson 5 - wiki
1. Web 2.0 blog, wiki, tag, social network: what are they, how to use them and why they are important Wiki and Wikipedia

Part of the slides is the result of a welcome distance collaboration with prof. Roberto Polillo, University Milan Bicocca ( http://www.rpolillo.it )
3. Wiki: introduction Wikis, invented in 1995 by Ward Cunningham , have emerged as one of the simplest means to collaborate online A wiki, a term in the Hawaiian language that means "quick" or "very fast", is a web-based environment for sharing and managing documents and files where users can view and add content, but also to modify existing content posted by other users http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY (wiki) The term wiki also refers to the software used to create a wiki website (Wikipedia is the most famous website based on wiki technology) A wiki enables documents to be written collaboratively in a simple language using a web browser Wiki technology is the easiest way by which web pages can be created and updated
5. Wiki and wiki farms Cunningham's Top Ten Wiki Engines and Wiki Farms Wiki farms host wikis, often for free: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_farm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms Wikia, founded by Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder (2011: 165k communities hosted, 2M users, 350M pages/month)), started for free, now freemium (remove ads) http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia see http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page ;-) about 1 million wikis managed by www.wikispaces.com
6. Enterprise Wiki Wikis can be a valuable support to the work activities. So a company can acquire its own wiki platforms, providing a service wiki for use by employees The use of wikis can be a useful tool for managing business information, customers, projects and document workflow http://www.wiki.istat.it e http://wiki.istat.it http://www1.unece.org/stat/platform/display/msis/Software+Sharing http://www.essnet-portal.eu/project-information/core
7. Wikipedia: introduction Wikipedia is one of the major Web 2.0 sites Wikipedia was created in 2001 with the goal of an encyclopedia free and reliable. Jimmy Wales, founder of the project, spoke of "an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language." The result went beyond all expectations: Wikipedia, with over 20 million entries and 20 million registered users, is the largest collection of human knowledge. Wikipedia exists in over 280 different languages and receives over 60 million hits per day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
8. Wikipedia: five pillars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars 1: Encyclopedia - Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia 2: NPOV - Wikipedia has a neutral point of view 3: Free - Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit and distribute 4: Code of conduct and etiquette - Wikipedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner 5: Ignore all rules - Wikipedia does not have firm rules
9. Wikipedia: Core Content Policies NPOV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view Verifiability http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability No original research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research Biographies of living persons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons What Wikipedia is not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not Citing sources http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources
11. Wikipedia: some number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Statistics http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/ see Comparisons In 2006 the journal Nature compared Wikipedia and the prestigious Encyclopaedia Britannica, reaching an opinion of equal authority (3.86 mistakes per article for Wikipedia, the Encyclopedia Britannica 2.92). License: started GFDL , now Creative Commons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal vandalism, wikilinks
14. Wikipedia: follows "The point is not that each entry is probabilistic, but that the entire encyclopedia behave probabilistic ... To put it another way, in the Britannica quality varies from, say, 5 to 9 with an average of 7. In Wikipedia ranges from 0 to 10, with an average of, say, 5. But given that Wikipedia has ten times the voices of the Britannica, you have a better chance of finding an entry on Wikipedia sensible on any topic " "What makes Wikipedia really extraordinary is the fact that improves over time: it treats itself as if its huge and growing army of workers was an immune system" "The true miracle of Wikipedia is that this system, open to contributions from non professional users, does not collapse into anarchy" C. Anderson, The Long Tail Wikipedia beneath the surface http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY8otRh1QPc
15. Wikipedia: follows Recent changes: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidebots=0&hideminor=0&hideliu=1 Who is modifying Wikipedia? (2.0 application) http://www.lkozma.net/wpv/index.html Other Wikimedia projects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation#Projects Humour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Silly_Things Vandalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism Wikipedia quality is not a surprise: as Eric Raymond says "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus%27_Law
