  • Glocal Forum Presentation
    GLOCAL FORUM PRESENTATION UN HABITAT EXPERT GROUP MEETING ON STRATEGIES FOR CREATING URBAN YOUTH EMPLOYMENT : Solution for Urban Youth in Africa I - Glocal Forum experience on youth and governance 1. Glocal Forum The Glocal Forum is a Non-Governmental Organization created in 2001 working for a new balance between global and local forces by emphasizing the central role of cities in the world. Our vision, glocalization, is an innovative strategy focusing on global issues by empowering local communities. It is a reform of globalization that encourages global powers to have a broader respect for local powers and cultural diversity. Led by its president, Ambassador Uri Savir, the Glocal Forum promotes peacebuilding and development activities through city-to-city relationships, youth empowerment and information communication technology. The Glocal Forum believes that cities have a central role in international relations and that mayors are poised to become the new diplomats of our world. City leaders have the advantage of mobilizing the good will, energy and expertise of their civil societies to contribute to peaceful dialogue and cultural exchange. The organization supports city-to-city networks by connecting them to the resources of the private and public sector. The Glocal Forum utilizes this global coalition of international organizations and private sector companies to harness resources and address local needs. A primary goal of city-to-city cooperation is to build an environment in which divisions caused by conflict and hatred can be bridged with harmony and coexistence. The Glocal Forum uses the city- to-city model as a fresh approach to brokering peace in the Middle East.

  • Empirical Comparison of Scons and GNU Make
    Großer Beleg Empirical Comparison of SCons and GNU Make Ludwig Hähne August 21, 2008 Technical University Dresden Department of Computer Science Institute for System Architecture Chair for Operating Systems Professor: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hermann Härtig Tutor: Dipl.-Inf. Norman Feske Dipl.-Inf. Christian Helmuth Erklärung Hiermit erkläre ich, dass ich diese Arbeit selbstständig erstellt und keine anderen als die angegebenen Hilfsmittel benutzt habe. Dresden, den 26. Juni 2008 Ludwig Hähne Abstract Build systems are an integral part of every software developer’s tool kit. Next to the well-known Make build system, numerous alternative solutions emerged during the last decade. Even though the new systems introduced superior concepts like content signa- tures and promise to provide better build accuracy, Make is still the de facto standard. This paper examines GNU Make and SCons as representatives of two conceptually distinct approaches to conduct software builds. General build-system concepts and their respective realizations are discussed. The performance and scalability are empirically evaluated by confronting the two competitors with comparable real and synthetic build tasks.

  • Best Practices: Use of Web Application Firewalls
    OWASP Papers Program Best Practice: Use of Web Application Firewalls Best Practices: Use of Web Application Firewalls Version 1.0.5, March 2008, English translation 25. May 2008 Author: OWASP German Chapter with collaboration from: Maximilian Dermann Mirko Dziadzka Boris Hemkemeier Achim Hoffmann Alexander Meisel Matthias Rohr Thomas Schreiber OWASP Papers Program Best Practice: Use of Web Application Firewalls Abstract Web applications of all kinds, whether online shops or partner portals, have in recent years increasingly become the target of hacker attacks. The attackers are using methods which are specifically aimed at exploiting potential weak spots in the web application software itself – and this is why they are not detected, or are not detected with sufficient accuracy, by traditional IT security systems such as network firewalls or IDS/IPS systems. OWASP develops tools and best practices to support developers, project managers and security testers in the development and operation of secure web applications. Additional protection against attacks, in particular for already productive web applications, is offered by what is still a emerging category of IT security systems, known as Web Application Firewalls (hereinafter referred to simply as WAF), often also called Web Application Shields or Web Application Security Filters. One of the criteria for meeting the security standard of the credit card industry currently in force (PCI DSS - Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard v.1.1) for example, is either a regular source code review or the use of a WAF. The document is aimed primarily at technical decision-makers, especially those responsible for operations and security as well as application owners (specialist department, technical application managers) evaluating the use of a WAF.

España; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.:+593 2297-6300 ext:2311 Abstract: Network Simulators is typically used to study services and applications in complex scenarios due to the infeasibility of deploying real testbeds. Many problems can be solved by using network simulators such as NS-3. With this in mind, the aim of this article is to introduce new NS-3 users through detailed information. It is sometimes difficult to handle by new users the traditional manuals developed by NS-3 project official website. In this article, NS-3 for communication network and Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for powerful programming language are integrated step-by-step, explaining the main features of these open source software packages and concluding with an example simulation. Our effort is to make it easy for a beginner to be part of the NS-3 research community and to maintain an open environment of knowledge. Keywords: Network simulators, NS-3, simulation, network 1. Introduction Nowadays, communications are present in everything.

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) Evasion Techniques #2
    theMiddle Follow Security Researcher Jan 3 · 9 min read Web Application Firewall (WAF) Evasion Techniques #2 String concatenation in a Remote Command Execution payload makes you able to bypass rewall rules (Sucuri, ModSecurity) In the rst part of WAF Evasion Techniques, we’ve seen how to bypass a WAF rule using wildcards and, more specically, using the question mark wildcard. Obviously, there are many others ways to bypass a WAF Rule Set and I think that each attack has their specic evasion technique. For example: using comment syntax inside a SQL Injection payload could bypass many lters. I mean instead using union+select you can use something like: /?id=1+un/**/ion+sel/**/ect+1,2,3-- This is a great technique, and it works well when the target WAF has a low paranoia level that allows asterisk * and hyphen characters. This should works just for SQL Injection and it can’t be used in order to exploit a Local File Inclusion or a Remote Command Execution. For some specic scenarios, there’s “a real nightmare” for a WAF that need to protect a web application from Remote Command Execution attacks… it’s called concatenated strings. If you want to practice with some of these evasion techniques, recently I’ve created FluxCapacitor, an intentionally vulnerable virtual machine at hackthebox. This article don’t contain any hint to solve the specic scenario of FluxCapacitor but could improve your knowledge about this technique. Concatenation In many programming languages, string concatenation is a binary inx operator. The + (plus) operator is often overloaded to denote concatenation for string arguments: "Hello, " + "World" has the value "Hello, World" .

All installation policy/convention is expressed in the configuration. reliable build automation once started, runs fully unattended unless an error occurs in which case the failure is made clear with log files for postmortem and a generated shell to reproduce the failure in-situ. Brett Viren (BNL) worch/lbne 2014/1/31 3 / 16 Overview The pieces of worch Worch is made up of these parts: waf a build tool (“make on steroids”) and an engine for dependency resolution and parallel execution. Implemented in pure-Python. A copy is included with worch. orch a Python module extending waf and providing worch’s functionality. Additional, suite-specific modules may also be needed. configuration simple text files that describe a software suite to install. When performing an installation the user needs to bring these three parts together.
