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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

another.
First and second laws of thermodynamics that
summarise what happens during energy changes.
Examine some of the ways that energy is harnessed in
the modern world

3. WHAT IS ENERGY?
Scientists define
energy as the
capacity to do ‘work’.
In science, work refers
to almost anything that
can be done!
The children are using
their energy to dance.

the musician is using
her energy to sing
and play the base.
The energy of the
waterfall makes the
water move fast,
the energy of the
train enables it to pull
a heavy load at high
speed.
jharun@utm.my
4
5. Cont…
Anything that gets
moving, or makes
noise or heat or light
or electricity, is using
energy and doing
work.
The energy is not the
same thing as the
work that is done;
energy is simply the
ability or readiness to
do work.

6. DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENERGY
mechanical energy (that is the energy
associated with the mass of an object),
electrical energy,
sound energy,
light energy,
heat energy,
chemical energy, and
nuclear energy.
jharun@utm.my
6
7. Mechanical Energy
Forms of energy that
involve motion are
classified as kinetic
energy and
forms of energy that
do not involve
motion are classified
as potential energy.
jharun@utm.my
7
8. Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy
of moving things.
‘Kinetic’ comes from the
Greek word ‘kinesis’ meaning
motion.
The term kinetic energy is
used mainly for the
mechanical energy of a
moving object.
However electricity, sound, Flywheel at a pumping station
light and heat all involve
motion, so they are often
regarded as forms of kinetic
energy too.
jharun@utm.my

9. Cont…
Mechanical kinetic
energy is the energy
of anything that
moves and has
mass.
Kinetic energy is
associated with all
kinds of motion,
including rotation.
jharun@utm.my

10. Electrical Energy
Electrical energy is a
stream of electrons
flowing through a
conductor.
Electricity is a
convenient form of
energy because it
can be delivered to
homes and factories
through wires, and it
can easily be
converted into other
jharun@utm.my

11. Sound Energy
Sound energy is a pulse of
vibrations travelling through the air,
The source of the sound vibrates
and nudges the molecules in the
air surrounding it.
You can easily feel the vibrations
from a loudspeaker like the one
shown on the right.
A pulse of backwards-andforwards vibrations of the air
molecules carries the sound
energy through the air at a speed
of about 330 metres per second.
jharun@utm.my
11
12. Light Energy
Light energy is an example of
electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation
includes radio and TV waves,
heat (infra-red) rays, light, X-rays
and γ-rays. These rays all carry
energy, but unlike sound waves
(which must be carried by a
medium such as air or water),
they require no medium. They
travel through space at a speed
of 3 x 109 metres per second.
light which provides energy for
life on Earth through
photosynthesis.
jharun@utm.my

13. Heat Energy
Heat energy is part of the
electromagnetic
radiation that we receive
from the sun. We also get
heat energy from burning
fuels and in other ways.
jharun@utm.my
13
14. Cont…
Heat is a low grade form of energy because a lot of it is
always wasted as internal kinetic energy and therefore
cannot do useful work.
jharun@utm.my
14
15. Potential Energy
Potential energy is stored energy, or energy-in-waiting.
‘Potential’ comes from the Latin word ‘potentia’ meaning
power or capability.
The term potential energy is used mainly for the stored
mechanical energy of a stationary object which is being
acted on by a force. However, chemical and nuclear
energy are also forms of stored energy.
jharun@utm.my
15
16. Cont…
Mechanical potential energy
is the stored energy of a
stationary object that is being
acted on by a force; an object
that is poised, ready to move.
A large rock is balanced high
up on a cliff. It is being pulled
down by the force of gravity
but is supported by the rocks
underneath it. If this rock slips,
or if someone pushes it, it will
crash down and damage
anything that it hits.
jharun@utm.my
16
17. Cont…
Any object above ground
level has potential energy
of this sort.
The arrow is being pushed
forward by the tension in
the bowstring. When the
archer lets go of the
bowstring, it will shoot the
arrow through the air
towards its target.
Any stationary object that
is being pushed or pulled
by a piece of elastic, or a
spring, has potential
energy of this sort.
jharun@utm.my
17
18. Chemical Energy
Chemical energy is the
potential energy that is
stored in substances that
are ready to undergo
chemical reactions.
A good example is an
electric cell or battery.
When the terminals are
connected and the circuit
is switched on, chemical
reactions in the cell will
send a stream of
electrons through the
circuit to do their work.
jharun@utm.my
18
19. Cont…
Other examples of chemical potential energy are
explosives and fuels, including food which is the fuel
for our bodies.
jharun@utm.my
19
20. Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is the potential energy that is stored in
the nuclei of atoms.
This energy is released slowly during radio-active decay
and fast during nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fission is the source of energy in nuclear power
stations and atom bombs, and nuclear fusion is the
source of energy of the stars including our sun.
jharun@utm.my
20
22. Explosions
Explosions: The head of a match contains
stored chemical energy. When we strike the
match, the match head explodes (gently) and
its chemical energy changes into heat and
light energy. chemical energy > heat (and
light) energy
Industrial explosives such as dynamite contain
a large amount of stored chemical energy.
When dynamite is used to break rocks in a
quarry or a mine, the chemical energy
changes into kinetic energy as the rocks fly
apart; the explosion makes a lot of heat and
sound energy too! chemical energy > kinetic
energy (plus heat and sound energy)
23. Battery
Using a cell or battery: An electric
cell or battery contains stored
chemical energy.
When a cell is connected to a light
bulb, the stored chemical energy
changes into electrical energy in the
wires, and the electrical energy in
the wires changes into light energy
(and a bit of heat) in the bulb.
chemical energy > electrical energy
> light (and heat) energy
jharun@utm.my
23
24. Cont…
the chemical energy stored in the
battery changes to electrical energy in
the wires that lead to the small electric
motor. The motor changes the
electrical energy into mechanical
kinetic energy in the form of a turning
pulley wheel that drives a larger pulley
wheel. The larger pulley wheel is
attached to an axel and, as the axel
turns, it winds up a string and lifts a
mass. Lifting the mass changes kinetic
energy from the motor into potential
energy in the raised mass.
chemical energy > electrical energy >
kinetic energy > potential energy
jharun@utm.my
24
25. Dynamos
Using a dynamo: Many kinds
of electric motor can
convert energy in both
directions. If an electric
current flows through a
motor of this kind, the axel of
the motor turns; but
if, alternatively, something
makes the axel turn, then it
produces an electric current!
A motor that is used
backwards like this, to make
electricity, is called a
jharun@utm.my
dynamo.

fuel) > heat energy (from
the burning fuel) >

27. Cont…
potential energy (in
the water because it
is raised above the
ground) > kinetic

dynamo and the
wires) > light energy
(in the light bulb).

28. Cont…
potential energy (in
the coiled spring) >
kinetic energy (as
the spring uncurls
and turns the pulley
wheels) > electrical
energy (in the
dynamo) > light
energy (in the light
bulb).
jharun@utm.my

29. Food
Using food: The
energy that keeps us
warm and keeps us
moving, comes from
the chemical energy
stored in our food.
As they ride up the
hill, they change the
chemical energy
stored in their food
into kinetic energy in
their legs and in the
moving bicycles.
jharun@utm.my
29
30. Cont…
As they ride up the hill, they change the
chemical energy stored in their food
into kinetic energy in their legs and in
the moving bicycles. As they climb
higher and higher, some of this kinetic
energy is gradually stored as potential
energy. When they reach the top, they
no longer need to use energy from their
food to push the pedals around.
The potential energy due to their
height, gives them with all the energy
they need to freewheel back to the
bottom of the hill without pedalling! As
they speed downhill, their potential
energy is converted back into kinetic
energy.
jharun@utm.my

31. The making of food and fuels
Plants are the producers at
the start of all food chains. In
the process called
photosynthesis.
they use light energy from the
sun to make carbohydrates
from carbon dioxide (in the
air) and water (in the soil).
After that, some of the
carbohydrates are converted
into lipids and proteins. In the
end, all our food and all our
fossil fuels come from plants.
jharun@utm.my
light energy (from
sun) > chemical
energy (stored in
food) > kinetic
energy (legs moving
and bicycle moving
uphill) > potential
energy (stored as
height) > kinetic
energy (bicycle
freewheeling
downhill).
