You are now at the Open Source Security Foundation - but you have a ton of experience (even as a former IBMer) from Google, to JPMorgan, and financial institutions through architecture, management, and engineering. Can you talk a little bit about your leadership journey? Let's dig into OpenSSF a bit more - we're only seeing an increase in software supply chain attacks - what is driving the OpenSSF and any particular threats you're concerned with at the moment? We know the OpenSSF has focused heavily on securing OSS and the ecosystem and even launched the OSS Security Mobilization Plan. Are you able to talk a bit about that plan and what it hopes to accomplish?OpenSSF is obviously one of several organizations such as OWASP and others helping to provide valuable resources to the industry to tackle these challenges. Are you able to speak about any active collaborations with other organizations or institutions, academia etc. or how organizations can look to collaborate with the OpenSSF?You are also a Fellow at the Center for Cybersecurity at the NYU Tandon school. Both Chris and I are also Fellows (at different organizations) - can you talk a little bit about what a Fellow does and how you got involved? Where can organizations really start though? With so many vulnerabilities, libraries, dependencies, and managing software and infrastructure, it is incredibly cumbersome for organizations to get a handle to what to work on first. Where do software teams start? Coming off of Father's Day, I noticed your LinkedIn tagline leads with Dad and Husband. How have you found success in balancing those critical roles and responsibilities while still pursuing your professional endeavors and aspirations?What does cyber resiliency mean to you?

“Let's go outside” took on new importance for families during the pandemic. Supervised school recess and organized sports were canceled in many places leaving parents fully in charge of the children's physical activity. Backyards, driveways, and parks became safer gathering places than meeting indoors, making “going outside” a social benefit in addition to a physical one.In this episode, Dr. Lindsay Malloy talks with Dr. Genevieve Dunton, a psychologist who studies physical activity and nutrition, and Dr. Mariela Alfonzo, an urban design and behavior researcher, to understand how the time we spend in green spaces impacts our mental, physical, and social wellbeing. Listen in to hear how the pandemic has affected children's outdoor time, what inequities exist in who has access to outdoor spaces, how parents can advocate for community green spaces, and advice on how parents can incorporate more outdoor time into their family's day-to-day activities.Included in this episode about being outdoors:- How has the pandemic impacted children's outdoor time?- What are aspects of our physical environment that make families more or less likely to spend time outside?- What does the research say about the mental health benefits to children of being outdoors?- What can parents do to encourage more equitable outdoor spaces in their community?- How can parents encourage more outdoor times for their families?Meet Our Guest Experts:Genevieve Dunton, Ph.D., MPH is a Professor of Population and Public Health Sciences and Psychology at the University of Southern California. She earned a doctorate in Health Psychology from the University of California, Irvine, and a Master of Public Health from the University of Southern California. Dr. Dunton received post-doctoral training in physical activity, nutrition, and cancer prevention from the Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Dunton´s research examines health behaviors related to chronic disease risk in children and adults, with a focus on physical activity and nutrition. She is the Director of the USC REACH (Real-Time Eating Activity and Children's Health) Lab, whose goals are to develop, test, and apply real-time data capture methodologies and applications, using smartphones and wearable sensors, to better understand the effects of psychological, social, and environmental factors on eating and physical activity. She is the PI on numerous studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society, author of over 170 peer-reviewed publications, and past Chair of the American Public Health Association Physical Activity Section. Dr. Dunton is also past Chair of the National Physical Activity Plan Public Health Sector Committee and a past member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Implementation of Physical Activity Surveillance Strategies.Bridging the worlds of academia, practice, and entrepreneurship, Dr. Mariela Alfonzo is an internationally renowned thought-leader and speaker, with 20+ years of experience on the nexus between urban design, behavior, and the quadruple-bottom line. For over two decades, her work has focused on quantifying how the micro-scale aspects of the built environment affect our behaviors, perceptions, and decisions, and in turn, how these impact health, broadly defined to include physical, social, environmental, and fiscal health, to more effectively advocate for better, more spatially equitable urban design. Dr. Alfonzo is the Founder and CEO of State of Place, an AI-driven urban design software startup that helps city-makers make more effective, cost-efficient, and transparent design, planning, and development decisions, which maximize social, health, environmental, and economic value, build community trust, and drive consensus.

Rapid progress in machine learning, computer vision and graphics leads to successive democratization of media manipulation capabilities. While convincing photo and video manipulation used to require substantial time and skill, modern editors bring (semi-) automated tools that can be used by everyone. Some of the most recent examples include manipulation of human faces, e.g., by their replacement or semantic manipulation (expression, age, etc.). At the same time, dissemination of fake news and misinformation campaigns are picking up speed which challenges trust in the society. Our media distribution platforms lack content integrity features as they were designed and optimized for the quality of (human) experience with strict bandwidth / storage constraints. Such an approach fails to recognize an increasing role of automated analysis by machine learning models, e.g, strong lossy compression applied to media assets removes imperceptible statistical traces indicative of content manipulation and is often referred to as media "laundering" process. In this talk, we explore end-to-end optimization of photo acquisition and distribution pipelines for media authentication. We show that feedback from forensic analysis can be used to optimize upstream components like the camera ISP or lossy compression codecs to support media authentication on the receiving end. Modern machine learning tools allow us to discover new approaches to the problem with surprising connections to other fields like information hiding, computational photography, lossy compression and machine learning security. To enable this line of work, we are currently developing a Tensorflow-based open source toolbox for modeling and optimization of various imaging applications (https://github.com/pkorus/neural-imaging).

Our service and efforts to seek proximity to the Creator often undergo the distractions of life and the daily grind. And once in a while, it’s helpful to remind ourselves of His gifts and offerings to His creation. In the Quran, and teachings of the Prophet and his family, we are taught to remind ourselves of God’s blessings that we are constantly surrounded by. So truly, how generous is the All-Generous?

The month of Ramadan is meant to be a time of taking account of our souls and the beginning of the journey of self-purification. But as much as the holy month is about taking individual steps, in turn, it requires a commitment to social change. From the inspiration we gain from spending the days fasting and the nights in worship, we are meant to come to the forefront of supporting the most vulnerable in our communities.

The opportunity for growth is immense in the month of Ramadan for the one who chooses to take advantage of it. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.” Hadith gives us insight that adversarial elements looking for us to fail are not able to impact us in the same way during the blessed month of Ramadan. What remains is ourselves and a choice to willfully improve in relation to where we currently stand. Join us for a reflection on this first Jummah of Ramadan with Imam Khalid Latif where he looks into this and more as a means for each of us to take as much as we can from our Ramadan.

Professor Dr. Nasir Memon is Vice Dean for Academics and Student Affairs and a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the New York University (NYU) Tandon School of Engineering. He is a co-founder of NYU's Center for Cyber Security (CCS) at New York as well as NYU Abu Dhabi. He is an affiliate faculty at the Computer Science department in NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and department head of NYU Tandon Online. He introduced cyber security studies to NYU Tandon in 1999, making it one of the first schools to implement the program at the undergraduate level. He is the founder of the OSIRIS Lab, CSAW, The Bridge to Tandon Program as well as the Cyber Fellows program at NYU. He has received several best paper awards and awards for excellence in teaching. He has been on the editorial boards of several journals, and was the Editor-In-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Information Security and Forensics. In this podcast, Professor Memon traces the highlights in the evolution of AI technologies, and how breakthrough work in “deep” neural network powered by the rapid development in processing power led to the explosion of today’s “deepfakes”.  Giving examples of convincing “deepfakes”, he also notes the emergence of “cheapfakes” and “shallowfakes”. He points out the changing landscape as the prevalence of “deepfakes” grows, including the development of “deepfake-as-a-service” and other monetization opportunities for threat actors, and the potential of misinformation being weaponised by nation state actors as “deepfakes” are added to their cyber attacks arsenal. As the world of “deepfakes” creation and detection becomes a cat-and-mouse game, he stresses the need for going beyond passive detection to a proactive approach of embedding integrity measures for image provenance. With truth under attack as “deepfakes” technologies grow more sophisticated, he also sees the need for a societal shift towards becoming more sceptical in general and advises us: “do not jump into conclusions, look for corroborative evidence”.

“Violence enjoys a contradictory space in American life: it is the celebrity of patriotism, and the devil when it runs wild. The exclusive focus on politics to temper violence is problematic because our lives, from the culture we digest to the words we use, drip with violence. How can we be aware of the fascination America has with violence, and how can we emancipate our hearts and minds from its grasp so we can be carriers of peace and justice?" – Sheikh Suhaib Webb Tamim Islam* recites the Quran at the beginning of the jummah reflection followed by a short duaa after. *About Tamim: Tamim is a current senior at NYU studying Business Technology Management.

Design Thinking Roundtable returns with its third season —Designing for the Public to investigate the meaning of Human-Centered Design in the public sector. Public sector fundamentally pertains to and involves people: Without people, the “public” does not exist, nor does the government. We discuss, debate and question the past, present and future of design thinking in the public sector. In the first episode, our host, Priyanka Vora sat down with design experts working with and in the government to discuss why human-centered design matters for developing and implementing policies that create positive social impact. Here's who we interviewed in the order they appear on the show: Arianne Miller, Managing Director of the Lab at OPM (Office of Personnel Management) Cat Drew, Chief Design Officer. Design Council, an independent charity that advises the UK government on design. Mari Nakano, Design Director, Service Design Studio at the New York City Mayor's Office for Economic Opportunity Jocelyn Bailey, Strategic and social design practitioner, critic and researcher based in London. ********* Credits: Production, host: Priyanka Vora; Conception: Anne-Laure Fayard; Sound design, music & post-production: Guilhem Tamisier. ********* To learn more about the New York University's Design for America, visit www.dfanyu.com and follow us at twitter.com/DFANYU.

OpenBSD Is Now My Workstation (https://sogubsys.com/openbsd-is-now-my-workstation-operating-system/) Why OpenBSD? Simply because it is the best tool for the job for me for my new-to-me Lenovo Thinkpad T420. Additionally, I do care about security and non-bloat in my personal operating systems (business needs can have different priorities, to be clear). I will try to detail what my reasons are for going with OpenBSD (instead of GNU/Linux, NetBSD, or FreeBSD of which I’m comfortable using without issue), challenges and frustrations I’ve encountered, and what my opinions are along the way. Disclaimer: in this post, I’m speaking about what is my opinion, and I’m not trying to convince you to use OpenBSD or anything else. I don’t truly care, but wanted to share in case it could be useful to you. I do hope you give OpenBSD a shot as your workstation, especially if it has been a while. A Bit About Me and OpenBSD I’m not new to OpenBSD, to be clear. I’ve been using it off and on for over 20 years. The biggest time in my life was the early 2000s (I was even the Python port maintainer for a bit), where I not only used it for my workstation, but also for production servers and network devices. I just haven’t used it as a workstation (outside of a virtual machine) in over 10 years, but have used it for servers. Workstation needs, especially for a primary workstation, are greatly different and the small things end up mattering most. News Roundup Write your own fuzzer for NetBSD kernel! [Part 1] (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/write_your_own_fuzzer_for) How Fuzzing works? The dummy Fuzzer. The easy way to describe fuzzing is to compare it to the process of unit testing a program, but with different input. This input can be random, or it can be generated in some way that makes it unexpected form standard execution perspective. The simplest 'fuzzer' can be written in few lines of bash, by getting N bytes from /dev/rand, and putting them to the program as a parameter. Coverage and Fuzzing What can be done to make fuzzing more effective? If we think about fuzzing as a process, where we place data into the input of the program (which is a black box), and we can only interact via input, not much more can be done. However, programs usually process different inputs at different speeds, which can give us some insight into the program's behavior. During fuzzing, we are trying to crash the program, thus we need additional probes to observe the program's behaviour. Additional knowledge about program state can be exploited as a feedback loop for generating new input vectors. Knowledge about the program itself and the structure of input data can also be considered. As an example, if the input data is in the form of HTML, changing characters inside the body will probably cause less problems for the parser than experimenting with headers and HTML tags. For open source programs, we can read the source code to know what input takes which execution path. Nonetheless, this might be very time consuming, and it would be much more helpful if this can be automated. As it turns out, this process can be improved by tracing coverage of the execution vBSDcon - CFP - Call for Papers ends July 19th (https://vbsdcon.com/) You can submit your proposal at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vbsdcon2019 The talks will have a very strong technical content bias.

Exploiting FreeBSD-SA-19:02.fd (https://secfault-security.com/blog/FreeBSD-SA-1902.fd.html) In February 2019 the FreeBSD project issued an advisory about a possible vulnerability in the handling of file descriptors. UNIX-like systems such as FreeBSD allow to send file descriptors to other processes via UNIX-domain sockets. This can for example be used to pass file access privileges to the receiving process. Inside the kernel, file descriptors are used to indirectly reference a C struct which stores the relevant information about the file object. This could for instance include a reference to a vnode which describes the file for the file system, the file type, or the access privileges. What really happens if a UNIX-domain socket is used to send a file descriptor to another process is that for the receiving process, inside the kernel a reference to this struct is created. As the new file descriptor is a reference to the same file object, all information is inherited. For instance, this can allow to give another process write access to a file on the drive even if the process owner is normally not able to open the file writable. The advisory describes that FreeBSD 12.0 introduced a bug in this mechanism. As the file descriptor information is sent via a socket, the sender and the receiver have to allocate buffers for the procedure. If the receiving buffer is not large enough, the FreeBSD kernel attempts to close the received file descriptors to prevent a leak of these to the sender. However, while the responsible function closes the file descriptor, it fails to release the reference from the file descriptor to the file object. This could cause the reference counter to wrap. The advisory further states that the impact of this bug is possibly a local privilege escalation to gain root privileges or a jail escape. However, no proof-of-concept was provided by the advisory authors. In the next section, the bug itself is analyzed to make a statement about the bug class and a guess about a possible exploitation primitive. After that, the bug trigger is addressed. It follows a discussion of three imaginable exploitation strategies - including a discussion of why two of these approaches failed. In the section before last, the working exploit primitive is discussed. It introduces a (at least to the author’s knowledge) new exploitation technique for these kind of vulnerabilities in FreeBSD. The stabilization of the exploit is addressed, too. The last section wraps everything up in a conclusion and points out further steps and challenges. The privilege escalation is now a piece of cake thanks to a technique used by kingcope, who published a FreeBSD root exploit in 2005, which writes to the file /etc/libmap.conf. This configuration file can be used to hook the loading of dynamic libraries if a program is started. The exploit therefore creates a dynamic library, which copies /bin/sh to another file and sets the suid-bit for the copy. The hooked library is libutil, which is for instance called by su. Therefore, a call to su by the user will afterwards result in a suid copy of /bin/sh. Streaming to Twitch using OpenBSD (https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2019-07-06-twitch.html) Introduction If you ever wanted to make a twitch stream from your OpenBSD system, this is now possible, thanks to OpenBSD developer thfr@ who made a wrapper named fauxstream using ffmpeg with relevant parameters. The setup is quite easy, it only requires a few steps and searching on Twitch website two informations, hopefully, to ease the process, I found the links for you. You will need to make an account on twitch, get your api key (a long string of characters) which should stay secret because it allow anyone having it to stream on your account. These same techniques should work for Twitch, YouTube Live, Periscope, Facebook, etc, including the live streaming service ScaleEngine provides free to BSD user groups. There is also an open source application called ‘OBS’ or Open Broadcaster Studio. It is in FreeBSD ports and should work on all of the other BSDs as well. It has a GUI and supports compositing and green screening. We use it heavily at ScaleEngine and it is also used at JupiterBroadcasting in place of WireCast, a $1000-per-copy commercial application.
