Webseiten für mobile Geräte - MobileTech Conference 2010 MainzPatrick Lauke
Internetnutzung auf Handys und mobilen Geräten ist in den letzten Jahren drastisch gestiegen. Und mit diesem Trend steigen auch die Erwartungen der Kunden – eine "mobile-optimised"-Version gehört bei vielen Webprojekten schon jetzt zum Standard – und der Endnutzer. Obwohl die Browser im mobilen Bereich schon recht gut mit "normalen" Webangeboten klar kommen, gibt es trotzdem neue Strategien und altbekannte Webdesign-/Web-Development-Methoden, um sicherzustellen, dass ihre Seiten auf allen Geräten – jenseits vom klassischen Desktoprechner – so gut wie möglich aussehen und funktionieren.

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:

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).

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.

Cover Slide: Intro to presentation goals of Windows 8 shift to simple design influenced by Mac OSX
Simplicity:
Windows 8 influenced by Swiss Graphic Design: Simple, straightforward layouts Helvetica and other sans-serif fonts geometric patterns and placement
Lock screen: Login here, Able to see useful information (emails, messages, etc.) swipe up (using fingers if on touchscreen, mouse if not) to login, picture identification password systems (click/touch specific parts of a picture to unlock)
Start menu: amalgamation of form and functionality is the most noticeable change (very simple popup menu, expands to full screen if wanted) oriented towards tablet users functions remain essentially the same very customizableIMPORTANT: Metro is hardware accelerated making it a very smooth user experience.
Blue Screen Of Death: much less intimidating, displays error message prominently, advises user what to do.
Target demographic is now EVERYBODY: Apple’s business model influences MSFT streamlines experience for people of all tech levels less clutter means easier access to important functions
Apps are organized in Metro, easier to search for and execute them; less need for shortcutsPictures and other files displayed visually, also very streamlined searching.
Very customizable options.
Tech Radar reports boot times of 9 seconds, compared to Window’s 7 boot time of 48 seconds. OS saves RAM content to hard drive.
Virtual machines: HyperV allows for installation and use of multiple OSsFull screen apps: incorporate OSX Lion’s ability in much larger scaleResource management: Task Manager automatically closes un-used apps if resources are needed (will save their states)
There will only be 1 form of Windows 8 (besides the possible Home, Professional, Ultimate designations) for both tablets and traditional pcs. Slightly more difficult development strategies, but simpler for end-user.
Windows 8 focuses for use on tablets:Multitouch gestures,no overlays (hover drop-down menus),Smooth scrolling, etc.
“The OS needs a single-core 1GHz x86 processor and just 1GB of RAM for 32-bit installs and 2GB for 64-bit. Space limits are also similar to Windows 7, Microsoft says: at least 16GB is needed for 32-bit, with the larger code size pushing 64-bit up to 20GB. Its toughest requirement is at least DirectX 9-capable graphics.Using the tiled Metro interface demands at least a 1024x768 display and ideally runs on a 1366x768 or higher multi-touch display.”http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/09/13/windows.8.dev.privew.live.for.intel.only/
Windows 8 should run the same on both computers(might have to cut the innuendo? Also might have to explain that the thing on the left is actually a computer…)
This is all yours, Alex. Use of the Cloud is a central feature of Windows 8.
Metro includes several features that allow access to social media and networking info. Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds will all be integrated.
