One of the presenters is a native Chinese language speaker and heavily involved in the Chinese security community and so brings unique insights to this presentation. The other presenters have been analyzing APT style threats for many years and bring this experience to bare on a problem that has received a lot of recent attention, but little technical depth. Viewers should walk away with a greatly increased understanding of the Chinese hacki....

Industrial control systems are flexible constructs that result in increased efficiency and profitability, but this comes at the cost of vulnerability. In past years, industrial cyber security has been mostly ignored due to cost, lack of understanding, and a low incidence rate. More and more these systems rely on commercial, off the shelf software which increases the ease and likelihood of an attack. Today, we face growing threats from indiv....

This year saw the biggest news in Web security ever--Operation Aurora, which aimed at stealing source code and other intellectual properties and succeeded with more than 30 companies, including Google. Incidence response showed that the operation involved an IE 0-day drive-by-download, resulting in Google's compromise and leak of source code to jump points in Taiwan. The US Government is so concerned that they issued a demarche to the Chine....

For antivirus vendors and malware researchers today, the challenge lies not in "obtaining" the malware samples - they have too many already. What's needed is automated tools to speed up the analysis process. Many sandboxes exist for behavior profiling, but it still remains a challenge to handle anti-analysis techniques and to generate useful reports. The problem with current tools is the monitoring mechanism - there's always a "sandbox....

The most fundamental difference between hash and nested loop joins
-
tanelpoder.com

15 years ago
-
eng
Basically the most fundamental (or biggest or most important) difference between nested loop and hash joins is that: Hash joins can not look up rows from the inner (probed) row source based on values retrieved from the outer (driving) row source, nested loops can. In other words, when joining table A and B (A is driving table, B is the probed table), then a nested loop join can take 1st row from A and perform a lookup to B using that ..

In these situations, I need a tool that can help me: Organize my thoughts quickly Prioritize the wheat before the chaff Maintain a coherent train of thought I find a very useful structure for archiving this to be what I call “three-by-three”: Three main points with three subpoints each. Forcing myself to keep to a structure will make my thoughts flow more qu..

A while back, I was poking around LLVM bugs, and discovered, to my surprise, that LLVM doesn’t support the va_arg intrinsic, used by functions to accept multiple arguments, at all on amd64. It turns out that clang and llvm-gcc, the compilers that backend to LLVM, have their own implementations in the frontend, so this isn’t as big a deal as it might sound, but it was still a surprise to me.

Software teams, in the broader sense, are complex adaptive systems. They live within organizations populated by many actors, influenced by the methods, practices and behaviors that coexist with them. Most of all, they have the capability to learn and adapt to each new entrant into their world. It is for this reason that, we tend to avoid recommending ‘best practices’ that all software teams can follow for success, let alone ‘agility’.

How pair programming and test-driven development looks in real life

Pair programming and test-driven development are some of the practices that are most often talked about and least often actually understood. So I’ve decided to undertake the task to teach myself to program a simple, yet realistic problem with a pair programming partner. The goal is to create an entertaining and realistic performance that portrays what it feels like to work like this. I’ve been extremely lucky. I’ve found not one, but two pr..

I'm a very new user of Git. I've been using it for some time to download and install repositories, like most people, but didn't use it for source control yet. Recently I've started using it, though, so I've been bumping into small problems along the way. One problem I've had was with trying to find out how to keep certain files out of a repository. I had tried Googling a few terms, but that only brought up results for actually removing a fi..

I ran across this post yesterday, by css-tricks.com. They had a little UI design competition where they asked participants to design and develop a UI for editing and deleting items of a list. It's a cool idea for a competition and you can read the whole thing here: https://css-tricks.com/ui-pattern-ideas-list-with-functions/ I chimed in at the comments, but realized quickly that this should become a blog post by itself.

According to Wikipedia, stenography or shorthand is “is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed or brevity of writing as compared to a normal method of writing a language”. Just as a stenographer learns to take down information really fast, a good programmer can learn to write code really fast by taking advantage of his or her tools. In this post I’ll show you my secret code stenography tricks.

So, here's a summary of the ones I picked out. There are also a large number of smaller ones, like an AF\_CAN exploit, or the l2cap overflow in the Bluetooth subsystem, that didn't get as much publicity, because they were found more q..
