slides for the paper "A Quantitative Comparison of Coverage-Based Greybox Fuzzers", Proceedings of the 1st IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automation of Software Test (AST 2020), pp.89-92, Seoul, South Korea, July 2020.
The OnePlus 5T uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 system on chip which features an octa-core CPU called Kryo 280 consisting of four high-performance cores running up to 2.45 GHz and four efficiency cores running up to 1.9 GHz. The Kryo 280 uses a 64-bit ARMv8-A instruction set and employs a multi-level cache hierarchy with separate 4KB L0 caches for each core, 16KB L1 caches, and a shared 2MB L2 cache.
The behavior In original flow:
1) In the case of 3 copies, the client sends the write to the primary, and then the primary forwards to the other two replicas. The primary must wait for the commit until all the replicas from completion. The real write IO latency is the longest latency among three copies.
2) When the data distribution is not uniform, the osd node which owns hottest data will become the bottleneck of total latency.
The behavior In our enhancement:
commit_majority function is not required to wait for all copies of commit to complete: as long as the majority of the commit is completed, the cluster would notify the client to complete.
Zero bugs found? Hold my beer AFL! how to improve coverage-guided fuzzing and...Maksim Shudrak
?
Fuzzing remains to be the most effective technique for bugs hunting in memory-unsafe programs. Last year, hundreds of security papers and talks on fuzzing have been published and dozens of them were focused on adapting or improving American Fuzzy Lop in some way. Attracting with its simplicity and efficiency, AFL is the number one choice for the vast majority of security researchers. This high popularity means that hunting for bugs with AFL or a similar tool is becoming less and less fruitful since many projects are already covered by other researchers. It is especially hard when we talk about a project participating in Google OSS-Fuzz program which utilizes AFL to generate a half-trillion test cases per day.
In practice, this means that we can not blindly rely on AFL anymore and should search for better fuzzing techniques. In order to overcome this challenge, we need to understand how AFL and similar fuzzers work and be able to use their weaknesses to find new 0days. This talk is aimed to discuss these weaknesses on real examples, explain how we can do fuzzing better and release a new open-source fuzzer called Manul.
Manul is a high-scalable coverage-guided parallel fuzzer with the ability to search for bugs in open source and black box binaries on Windows and Linux. Manul was able to find 10 0-days in 4 widely-used projects that have been extensively tested by AFL. These vulnerabilities were not found by chance, but by analyzing and addressing issues exist in AFL. Authors will show several of the most critical vulnerabilities and explain why AFL overlooked them.
This talk will be interested for experienced hackers, who are willing to improve their bug hunting capabilities, as well as for new researchers, who are making their first steps on the thorny trail of bug hunting.
Filesystem Showdown: What a Difference a Decade MakesPerforce
?
In the last 10 years, Ext4 has risen in prominence, ReiserFS has fallen to the wayside, ZFS has been ported to Linux, XFS keeps plugging along, and there's a new kid: Btrfs. NTFS has evolved, too. It's now 2016. How do these filesystems stack up against each other? Does it really make that much of a difference? We¡¯ll show you the results of standard, consistent tests across platforms (Linux vs. Windows) and filesystems to see if the differences are worth choosing one over the other. For simplicity's sake, the tests are performed on identical hardware with out-of-the-box settings.
BKK16-308 The tool called Auto-Tuned Optimization System (ATOS)Linaro
?
ATOS is an Auto Tuning Optimization System that is able to find automatically the best performance/size tradeoff from a build system and a training application. The input of ATOS tools are a build command and a run command. From the build command, ATOS will infer an internal build configuration that it will run with different sets of compiler options. These build configurations are executed with the run command from which code size and performance will be extracted.
From the set of build configurations that ATOS explores, one can extract the preferred trade-off between code size and performance. The extracted build configuration can be archived and replayed later in order to generate the optimized executable without any modification into the initial build system.
The nice property of ATOS is that NO modification of the sources or the makefiles are needed. ATOS can work on any large/deep project, as soon as the compiler used is gcc or LLVM under Linux.
The document describes creating a SNP calling pipeline for potato data from RNA-Seq experiments. Key steps included aligning reads to the potato genome using BWA or Bowtie, converting SAM to BAM and sorting, generating coverage profiles with SAMtools, and calling SNPs from the BAM files using SAMtools and bcftools. SNPs identified from the RNA-Seq data were then selected for inclusion on an Illumina GoldenGate SNP chip to genotype samples for genetic mapping. Comparison of the SNP chip results to the original RNA-Seq data was performed to evaluate accuracy. Remaining questions around discrepancies in the data were noted for further investigation.
The document discusses design for test (DFT) techniques. It explains that DFT aims to improve the testability of chip designs by adding mechanisms to control and observe internal nodes for manufacturing testing. This allows testing of each block or component on the chip to identify defective parts. Specifically, it discusses using scan chains to test combinational logic, and techniques like MBIST and boundary scan for testing memories and I/O, respectively. The goal of DFT is to effectively test designs at the component level to improve quality and yield.

The document summarizes the results of large scale tests conducted to validate the design concept for slab on piles reinforcement using structural fibers. Four slabs were tested under different loading conditions to evaluate bending resistance and cracking behavior. Ultimate loads from the tests were over 2-3 times the maximum allowable design loads, and first cracking occurred at loads meeting design safety standards. The document concludes that the bending design method using structural fibers from Bekaert is safe based on the test results.
The document describes a DSP block based FPGA accelerator overlay called DeCO that has low interconnect overhead. It presents DeCO as an improvement over previous DSP overlay approaches in terms of lower interconnect area overhead and higher peak performance. DeCO is evaluated through mapping various compute kernels to it and is shown to achieve up to 95% functional unit utilization and 264 GOPS peak performance on Zynq, which is 10x better than prior works. It also has faster configuration time compared to HLS generated implementations.

William Arndt increased the performance of HMMER3 on Genepool by modifying it to use buffering and multiple threads more efficiently. An example showed that searching a large protein database took 27 minutes using the modified HMMER3 with 32 threads, compared to 25 hours using the original single-threaded version. The modifications avoid repeated reading of input files by buffering sequence and HMM data in memory for reuse across multiple models.
William Arndt increased the performance of HMMER3 on Genepool by modifying it to use buffered I/O and multiple threads more efficiently. The original HMMER3 was inefficient because it read sequence files from disk repeatedly instead of buffering them in memory. The modified version stores sequences and HMMs in buffers that multiple threads can search simultaneously, reducing I/O time from 25% to less than 1% and allowing full utilization of Genepool nodes. Future work includes porting these improvements to other NERSC systems and upgrading algorithms to use modern vector instructions.

In the Container world, there is a need to build observability around apps and backing services running in containers. The observability should allow to capture on demand low level metrics at a low overhead. The proposal is to use ebpf as the tracing technology to capture details at kernel & user level, and generate on demand flamegraphs, heat maps for applications & backing services. The Linux kernel has a built-in BPF JIT compiler, and an in-kernel verifier which is used to validate eBPF programs. This allows user defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively. eBPF provides in-kernel implementation of storage maps such as histograms and hash-maps, which helps in efficient copy of summarized monitoring data from kernel to user space with low overhead.
These features make eBPF programs safe to run in production and allow admins and engineers to collect crucial data from systems for performance analysis and monitoring.
Hands-on Experience with IPv6 Routing and ServicesCisco Canada
?
This document provides an agenda and overview for a hands-on lab session on IPv6 routing and services. The lab session will consist of 8 exercises that provide experience with IPv6 addressing, neighbor discovery, static routing, HSRP, EIGRPv6, tunnels, OSPFv3, and BGPv6. The first lab focuses on configuring IPv6 addressing and stateless address autoconfiguration on routers and hosts in a simple site using unique local addresses. Subsequent labs introduce global unicast addressing across multiple sites and additional labs cover various IPv6 routing protocols.
This document discusses FPGA and ROS integration using cReComp. cReComp is a tool that allows defining reusable FPGA components using a specification language and integrating them with ROS. It handles the hardware/software interface and generation of HDL, C++ code and ROS packages from a single specification file. An example is provided of using cReComp to implement an ultrasonic sensor component on an FPGA board running Linux and ROS. The goal is to explore using this approach to implement visual SLAM on an FPGA for low power robotics applications.
This document summarizes a research paper on using grey-box fuzzing (MOTIF) for mutation testing of C/C++ code in cyber-physical systems (CPS). It introduces mutation testing and grey-box fuzzing, and proposes MOTIF which generates a fuzzing driver to test functions with live mutants. An empirical evaluation compares MOTIF to symbolic execution-based mutation testing on three subject programs. MOTIF killed more mutants within 10,000 seconds and was able to test programs that symbolic execution could not handle due to limitations like floating-point values. Seed inputs alone killed few mutants, showing the importance of fuzzing. MOTIF is an effective approach for mutation testing of CPS software.
Ruby 2.5 includes new features such as allowing rescue/else/ensure blocks directly in do/end, yield_self, Hash slicing methods, and Struct classes that accept keyword arguments. It also provides performance improvements like removing trace instructions for 5-10% faster execution and optimizing block passing. Additionally, there are other notable changes like Thread exceptions defaulting to report, SecureRandom preferring OS sources, and updates to standard libraries, Unicode version, RubyGems, and RDoc.
1. The document describes load testing done on an Odoo implementation to determine system limits and size requirements. Tests were run using Locust and varied the number of requests per second, users, and sessions to identify bottlenecks.
2. Testing showed the initial limit was around 500 requests/second. Further tests found that sessions stored in NFS caused issues, so they were changed to store in PostgreSQL.
3. Load balanced and monolithic architectures were compared, finding the load balanced setup using 4 servers performed similarly to a single server with 40 cores for the monolithic setup.

"Zen and the Art of Industrial Construction"
Once upon a time in Gujarat, Plinth and Roofs was working on a massive industrial shed project. Everything was going smoothly¡ªblueprints were flawless, steel structures were rising, and even the cement was behaving. That is, until...
Meet Ramesh, the Stressed Engineer.
Ramesh was a perfectionist. He measured bolts with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker and treated every steel beam like his own child. But as the deadline approached, Ramesh¡¯s stress levels skyrocketed.
One day, he called Parul, the total management & marketing mastermind.
? Ramesh (panicking): "Parul ma¡¯am! The roof isn't aligning by 0.2 degrees! This is a disaster!"
? Parul (calmly): "Ramesh, have you tried... meditating?"
? Ramesh: "Meditating? Ma¡¯am, I have 500 workers on-site, and you want me to sit cross-legged and hum ¡®Om¡¯?"
? Parul: "Exactly. Mystic of Seven can help!"
Reluctantly, Ramesh agreed to a 5-minute guided meditation session.
? He closed his eyes.
??¡á? He breathed deeply.
? He chanted "Om Namah Roofaya" (his custom version of a mantra).
When he opened his eyes, a miracle happened!
? His mind was clear.
? The roof magically aligned (okay, maybe the team just adjusted it while he was meditating).
? And for the first time, Ramesh smiled instead of calculating load capacities in his head.
? Lesson Learned: Sometimes, even in industrial construction, a little bit of mindfulness goes a long way.
From that day on, Plinth and Roofs introduced tea breaks with meditation sessions, and productivity skyrocketed!
Moral of the story: "When in doubt, breathe it out!"

Preface: The ReGenX Generator innovation operates with a US Patented Frequency Dependent Load
Current Delay which delays the creation and storage of created Electromagnetic Field Energy around
the exterior of the generator coil. The result is the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field
Energy performs any magnitude of Positive Electro-Mechanical Work at infinite efficiency on the
generator's Rotating Magnetic Field, increasing its Kinetic Energy and increasing the Kinetic Energy of
an EV or ICE Vehicle to any magnitude without requiring any Externally Supplied Input Energy. In
Electricity Generation applications the ReGenX Generator innovation now allows all electricity to be
generated at infinite efficiency requiring zero Input Energy, zero Input Energy Cost, while producing
zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions, zero Air Pollution and zero Nuclear Waste during the Electricity
Generation Phase. In Electric Motor operation the ReGen-X Quantum Motor now allows any
magnitude of Work to be performed with zero Electric Input Energy.
Demonstration Protocol: The demonstration protocol involves three prototypes;
1. Protytpe #1, demonstrates the ReGenX Generator's Load Current Time Delay when compared
to the instantaneous Load Current Sine Wave for a Conventional Generator Coil.
2. In the Conventional Faraday Generator operation the created Electromagnetic Field Energy
performs Negative Work at infinite efficiency and it reduces the Kinetic Energy of the system.
3. The Magnitude of the Negative Work / System Kinetic Energy Reduction (in Joules) is equal to
the Magnitude of the created Electromagnetic Field Energy (also in Joules).
4. When the Conventional Faraday Generator is placed On-Load, Negative Work is performed and
the speed of the system decreases according to Lenz's Law of Induction.
5. In order to maintain the System Speed and the Electric Power magnitude to the Loads,
additional Input Power must be supplied to the Prime Mover and additional Mechanical Input
Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft.
6. For example, if 100 Watts of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator,
an additional >100 Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive
Shaft by the Prime Mover.
7. If 1 MW of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator, an additional >1
MW Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft by the
Prime Mover.
8. Generally speaking the ratio is 2 Watts of Mechanical Input Power to every 1 Watt of Electric
Output Power generated.
9. The increase in Drive Shaft Mechanical Input Power is provided by the Prime Mover and the
Input Energy Source which powers the Prime Mover.
10. In the Heins ReGenX Generator operation the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field
Energy performs Positive Work at infinite efficiency and it increases the Kinetic Energy of the
system.

7. If 1 MW of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator, an additional >1 MW Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft by the Prime Mover.
8. Generally speaking the ratio is 2 Watts of Mechanical Input Power to every 1 Watt of Electric Output Power generated.
9. The increase in Drive Shaft Mechanical Input Power is provided by the Prime Mover and the Input Energy Source which powers the Prime Mover.
10. In the Heins ReGenX Generator operation the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field Energy performs Positive Work at infinite efficiency and it increases the Kinetic Energy of the system.

4. Fuzzers are evaluated by different criteria
Fuzzers Fuzzing targets Criteria
AFLFast - Binutils 2.26
(c++filt, nm, objdump, readelf, size, strings)
- Coreutils 8.25
- # unique crashes
- ground truth
- line coverage
AFLGo - Binutils (detailed information is not found)
- Diffutils
- libPNG
- basic block coverage
- ground truth
FairFuzz - Binutils 2.28 (c++filt, nm,objdump, readelf )
- tcpdump
- xmllint
- mutool draw
- djpeg
- readpng
- basic block translations covered
- # occurrences of specific
sequences
It is difficult to compare the experimental results in these papers.

5. Research Overview
We prepared a unified collection of fuzzing targets
and then compared the existing fuzzers.
Evaluation measures:
- The number of executed paths
- Branch coverage

6. Research Questions
RQ1 Is a newer AFL-based fuzzer able to execute significantly
a larger number of paths?
RQ2 Does an AFL-based fuzzer improve branch coverage?
RQ3 Does a newer AFL-based fuzzer always achieve higher
coverage?

Answer to RQ3: The newer fuzzer does not always achieve
higher branch coverage. 10
11. Discussion
The results are different between the number of paths and
branch coverage.
Newer fuzzers are unoptimized for quality assurance
process based on branch coverage.
The use of fuzzers can improve branch coverage.
