Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting Mendel Cooper <[email protected]> 5.5 23 November 2008 Revision History Revision 5.3 05 May 2008 Revised by: mc 'GOLDENBERRY' release: Minor Update. Revision 5.4 21 July 2008 Revised by: mc 'ANGLEBERRY' release: Major Update. Revision 5.5 23 Nov 2008 Revised by: mc 'FARKLEBERRY' release: Minor Update. This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts. This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts. The latest update of this document, as an archived, bzip2-ed "tarball" including both the SGML source and rendered HTML, may be downloaded from the author's home site.

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

Faculty from the University of Northern Iowa’s Department of Philosophy and World Religions showed me the importance of critical thinking and historical understanding. The faculty at Vanderbilt Divinity School showed me how to ask good questions. And members of my dissertation committee reminded me that answering questions—or, at least trying to answer questions—requires not just careful thought, but nerve as well. I am also grateful for the love and support my wife and family have given. I can tell that they love and care about me. Every day I think about them. I have also been fortunate to make a number of great friends while in Nashville. I owe them thanks too.

  • Constraints in Dynamic Symbolic Execution: Bitvectors Or Integers?
    Constraints in Dynamic Symbolic Execution: Bitvectors or Integers? Timotej Kapus, Martin Nowack, and Cristian Cadar Imperial College London, UK ft.kapus,m.nowack,[email protected] Abstract. Dynamic symbolic execution is a technique that analyses programs by gathering mathematical constraints along execution paths. To achieve bit-level precision, one must use the theory of bitvectors. However, other theories might achieve higher performance, justifying in some cases the possible loss of precision. In this paper, we explore the impact of using the theory of integers on the precision and performance of dynamic symbolic execution of C programs. In particular, we compare an implementation of the symbolic executor KLEE using a partial solver based on the theory of integers, with a standard implementation of KLEE using a solver based on the theory of bitvectors, both employing the popular SMT solver Z3. To our surprise, our evaluation on a synthetic sort benchmark, the ECA set of Test-Comp 2019 benchmarks, and GNU Coreutils revealed that for most applications the integer solver did not lead to any loss of precision, but the overall performance difference was rarely significant. 1 Introduction Dynamic symbolic execution is a popular program analysis technique that aims to systematically explore all the paths in a program. It has been very successful in bug finding and test case generation [3, 4]. The research community and industry have produced many tools performing symbolic execution, such as CREST [5], FuzzBALL [9], KLEE [2], PEX [14], and SAGE [6], among others. To illustrate how dynamic symbolic execution works, consider the program shown in Figure 1a.

    Jackson State University Department of Computer Science CSC 438-01/539-01 Systems and Software Security, Spring 2014 Instructor: Dr. Natarajan Meghanathan Project 1: Exploring UNIX Access Control in a Virtual Machine Environment Due: February 26, 2014, 7.30 PM The objective of this project is to explore the different UNIX access control commands and their features. You will do this project in a virtual machine environment. If you already have a virtual machine installed (either in VM Player or Virtual Box, you can skip the following steps and proceed to Page 4). Installing VirtualBox 4.2 and Ubuntu OS Go to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and download VirtualBox for your operating system. If you work on a lab computer, you need to use the Ubuntu VM .iso file that is stored on the local machine. If you work on your personal computer, you need to download the Ubuntu .iso file from the website listed in Step # 1 and continue. You may use the following steps for installing the Ubuntu VM on the virtualbox. 1. The Ubuntu installation file is located on the desktop of your PC (it can be downloaded from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download if the .iso file cannot be located on your desktop). 2. On the VirtualBox Manager screen click on “New” 1 3. When prompted, put your J # for the name of the VM and select “Linux” as OS (when you choose Linux as OS, the program should automatically choose Ubuntu as Version, if not select Ubuntu) and click Next. 4.
