Murenin and Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo AsiaBSDCon 2009 — 12–15 March 2009 — Tokyo, Japan Abstract In this paper, we will discuss the origin, history, design guidelines, API and the device drivers of the hardware sensors framework available in OpenBSD. The framework spans multiple utilities in the base system and the ports tree, is utilised by over 70 drivers, and is considered to be a distinctive and ready-to-use feature that sets OpenBSD apart from many other operating systems, and in its root is inseparable from the OpenBSD experience. 1.

  • KDE Plasma 5

    KDE Plasma 5

    Arvo Mägi KDE Plasma 5 Tallinn, 2017 1 Sissejuhatus KDE töökeskkonnale pani aluse saksa programmeerija Matthias Ettrich 14.10.1996. 2016. a oktoobris sai populaarne KDE seega 20. aastaseks. Hea ülevaate KDE ajaloost annab artikkel „19 Years of KDE History: Step by Step.” KDE 4.14 ilmumisega oli KDE saavutanud kasutusküpsuse, kuid edasine areng kippus takerduma – vaja oli põhimõttelisi uuendusi. Otsustati võtta kasutusele iseseisvatel moodulitel põhinev KDE 5 arhitektuur – Qt/Frameworks. Kõik KDE rakendusprogrammid, sh Plasma 5 töölaud, kasutavad ainult konkreetse rakenduse jaoks vajalikke mooduleid. Varem kasutati kõigi rakenduste jaoks ühist suurt teeki, mis raskendas muudatuste tegemist ja pidurdas arendustööd. Qt on C++ programmeerimiskeskkond. Pikaajalise toega Qt 5.9 LTS ilmus 31. mail 2017. KDE Frameworks on 70 moodulist koosnev komplekt, mis lihtsustab Qt keskkonnas KDE programmide koostamist. Frameworks veaparandused ja täiendused ilmuvad iga kuu. KDE Plasma 5 töölaud põhineb KDE Frameworksil (KF5). Töölaua veaparandused ilmuvad iga kuu, vajadusel mitu korda kuus, uued versioonid kord kvartalis. Plasma 5.8 LTS, mis on pikaajalise toega (18 kuud), ilmus 4.10.2016, veidi enne KDE 20. aastaseks saamist. Plasma 5.10 ilmus 30.05.2017. Järgmine pikaajalise toega Plasma 5.12 ilmub 2018. a jaanuaris. Plasma 5 töölaud on pälvinud palju kiitvaid hinnanguid ja sobib igapäevaseks tööks. Eeldab kaasaegset, mitme tuumaga protsessori ja piisava mäluga (vähemalt 4 GB) arvutit. SSD kettalt töötab välkkiirelt. Töölaud on keskkond rakendusprogrammide käivitamiseks ja kasutamiseks. KF5-le on üle viidud kõik KDE põhirakendused (failihaldur Dolphin, pildinäitaja Gwenview, konsool Konsole, teksti- redaktor Kate, ekraanitõmmise võtja Spectacle, videoredaktor Kdenlive, plaadikirjutaja K3b jt). Need on KDE Applications koosseisus, mille uued versioonid ilmuvad kolm korda aastas, veaparandused kord kuus.
  • Cryptanalysis of the Random Number Generator of the Windows Operating System

    Cryptanalysis of the Random Number Generator of the Windows Operating System

    Cryptanalysis of the Random Number Generator of the Windows Operating System Leo Dorrendorf School of Engineering and Computer Science The Hebrew University of Jerusalem 91904 Jerusalem, Israel [email protected] Zvi Gutterman Benny Pinkas¤ School of Engineering and Computer Science Department of Computer Science The Hebrew University of Jerusalem University of Haifa 91904 Jerusalem, Israel 31905 Haifa, Israel [email protected] [email protected] November 4, 2007 Abstract The pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) used by the Windows operating system is the most commonly used PRNG. The pseudo-randomness of the output of this generator is crucial for the security of almost any application running in Windows. Nevertheless, its exact algorithm was never published. We examined the binary code of a distribution of Windows 2000, which is still the second most popular operating system after Windows XP. (This investigation was done without any help from Microsoft.) We reconstructed, for the ¯rst time, the algorithm used by the pseudo- random number generator (namely, the function CryptGenRandom). We analyzed the security of the algorithm and found a non-trivial attack: given the internal state of the generator, the previous state can be computed in O(223) work (this is an attack on the forward-security of the generator, an O(1) attack on backward security is trivial). The attack on forward-security demonstrates that the design of the generator is flawed, since it is well known how to prevent such attacks. We also analyzed the way in which the generator is run by the operating system, and found that it ampli¯es the e®ect of the attacks: The generator is run in user mode rather than in kernel mode, and therefore it is easy to access its state even without administrator privileges.

    Concurrent Programming Made Simple: the (R)Evolution of Transactional Memory

    Concurrent Programming Made Simple: The (r)evolution of Transactional Memory Nuno Diegues∗1 and Torvald Riegely2 1INESC-ID, Lisbon, Portugal 2Red Hat October 1, 2013 ∗[email protected] [email protected] 1 1 Harnessing Concurrency Today, it is commonplace for developers to deal with concurrency in their applications. This reality has been driven by two ongoing revolutions in terms of hardware deployments. On one hand, processors have evolved to a multi- core paradigm in which computational power increases by increasing number of cores rather than by enhancing single thread performance. On the other hand, cloud computing has democratized the access to affordable large- scale distributed platforms. In both cases programmers are faced with a similar problem: if they want to scale out their applications, then they need to tackle the issue of how to synchronize access to data in face of ever growing concurrency levels. For many decades, programmers have been taught to rely on locking mechanisms or centralized components to manage concurrent accesses to data. However, the ongoing architectural trends towards massively parallel/large- scale systems have unveiled the limitations of traditional synchronization schemes — not only can they significantly limit the feasible parallelism, when there may exist tremendous untapped parallel potential; they also force to use intricate programming models that are prone to tricky concurrency bugs, which can be a conundrum to detect and fix. In fact, popular knowledge considers locking approaches simple to understand, but difficult to master. 2 Programming with Transactions To tackle this fundamental problem in modern software development, during recent years both industry and academia have started to adopt Transactional Memory (TM).
