Then the majority of the talk focus on changes to irqbalance over the past few years that have been driven by ARM and RISC-V platforms, and what work still needs to be done.\r\n\r\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrZHqpw_3N8\r\nLA Archive: http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/everythingopen/2023/clarendon_room_d/Tuesday/Interrupt_Balancing_Moving_beyond_x86.webm", "conf_url": "https://2023.everythingopen.au/schedule/presentation/5/", "cancelled": false, "twitter_id": "ptownpj" }, { "room": "Clarendon Room E", "rooms": [ "Clarendon Room E" ], "start": "2023-03-14T11:40:00", "end": "2023-03-14T12:25:00", "duration": 45, "kind": "talk", "section": "main", "section_name": "Main Conference", "track": null, "conf_key": 80, "license": "CC-BY-SA", "tags": "", "released": true, "contact": [], "name": "Let\u2019s Use An Automated Theorem Prover To Verify Video Games; I Promise This Is Applicable To You", "authors": [ { "name": "Jon Manning", "twitter": "desplesda", "mastodon": "https://mastodon.gamedev.place/desplesda", "contact": "redacted", "picture_url": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/93cd8098ec3d2bbfcc8bf4f95abf0b95?s=120&d=mp", "code": "43", "biography": "Jon Manning is the co-founder of Secret Lab, an independent game development studio working on Leonardo\u2019s Moon Ship, the hugely popular narrative tool Yarn Spinner, and for their work on the BAFTA- and IGF-winning Night in the Woods.

We'll show where the platform worked well, as well as challenges in our implementation.\r\n\r\nOf course, there's plenty of future possibilities for the LibreBMC platform, which we'll present with some introductory material should you want to participate.\r\n\r\nThe work was a collaboration between the OpenPOWER Foundation, IBM and Code Construct.\r\n\r\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLoKQ1nAkis\r\nLA Archive: http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/everythingopen/2023/clarendon_room_d/Tuesday/LibreBMC_literally_everything_is_open.webm", "conf_url": "https://2023.everythingopen.au/schedule/presentation/25/", "cancelled": false, "mastodon_id": "@jk@aus.social" }, { "room": "Clarendon Room E", "rooms": [ "Clarendon Room E" ], "start": "2023-03-14T13:30:00", "end": "2023-03-14T15:10:00", "duration": 100, "kind": "tutorial", "section": "main", "section_name": "Main Conference", "track": null, "conf_key": 14, "license": "CC-BY-SA", "tags": "", "released": true, "contact": [], "name": "Incident Response with Velociraptor", "authors": [ { "name": "Mike Cohen", "twitter": "scudette", "mastodon": "@velocidex@infosec.exchange", "contact": "redacted", "picture_url": "/site_media/media/speaker_photos/Dr-Mike-Cohen.jpg.120x120_q85_crop.jpg", "code": "42", "biography": "Dr. Michael Cohen has over 20 years of experience in applying and developing novel incident response and digital forensics tools and techniques.\r\n\r\nHe has previously worked in the Australian Department of Defence as an information security specialist, at the Australian Federal Police specializing in digital forensics, network and memory forensics.

Core licenses such as the GPL-family of licenses and the Apache license came from such organizations. Charitable organizations like Free Software Foundation and Apache Software Foundation set specific policy goals related to their advocacy mission, and created FOSS licenses that sought to advance those missions.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, other mission-focused organizations, such as Open Source Initiative (OSI) and Debian, sought to codify and analyze these licenses against a written standard to verify they met certain community standards for FOSS licensing. Thanks to such organizations, the idea of approved license lists became an oft-imitated standard used by not only community-focused entities, but also for-profit entities who gather in places like Linux Foundation's SPDX to create license lists that serve their for-profit interests.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, for-profit companies have not always had community advancement as their goal. We saw extensive lobbying efforts during the early 2000s that sought to create a litany of \u201cbadgeware\u201d licenses, and some companies even succeed in convincing OSI to declare those licenses \u201copen source\u201d. A broad coalition of organizations and individuals fought successfully in that era against \u201clicense proliferation\u201d.\r\n\r\nWith the rising power of VC-backed companies that seek to prioritize profit over software freedom, we see politicization of the licensing process and a resurgence of license proliferation. Instead of badgeware, these companies, and their lawyers and apologists, seek to create a set of licenses that push copyleft to risible levels of requirement. Their goal is not to use copyleft to defend software freedom, but to redefine copyleft into a toxic system that is inoculated only by a separate proprietary license. In other cases, these initiatives seek to create outright non-FOSS licenses that are labeled under moniker's like \u201cparity\u201d, \u201cpublic\u201d, and \u201ccommons\u201d \u2014 in an effort to draft on the popularity of FOSS to promulgate non-commercial-use only licenses.\r\n\r\nEven more unfortunately, the coalition that once opposed license proliferation twenty years ago no longer exists. The FOSS licensing community has fractured into hundreds of pieces. Indeed, these for-profit corporate control efforts have even found allies in the activist community: well-meaning individuals who seek to create non-FOSS licenses that restrict bad actors (such as the USA's Immigration and Customs Enforcement) from benefiting from otherwise-freely-available software. Such \u201cnot for military use\u201d licenses have historically been common but did not gain mind-share; today, the strange bedfellows of VC-backed startups and some social justice activists leaves we otherwise-sympathetic-to-the-latter FOSS activists unsure how to advocate for careful and thoughtful consideration of copyleft expansion.\r\n\r\nOne viable answer is to apply the community-driven processes of production that FOSS projects know best to license production. Copyleft-next was launched in July 2012 as an experimental effort to create a new and easier-to-understand copyleft license that promotes software freedom as well as, if not better than, more complex traditional copyleft licenses.\r\n\r\nWhile copyleft-next has aimed to be substantively and stylistically innovative as a license text, it was also grounded as a project in a simple belief: that FOSS licenses, like FOSS itself, should be created in the open, transparently, and welcome input and discussion from everyone. Mainstream copyleft licenses stewarded by nonprofit FOSS organizations, like GPLv3, MPL 2.0 and EPL 2.0, had (to varying limited degrees) attempted to include community feedback and involvement. But copyleft-next sought to go substantially further. We adopted the methodology and development norms of modern community FOSS projects themselves.\r\n\r\nCopyleft-next is just one potential approach among many that we should consider to address misuse and manipulation of copyright licenses to advance ideas that may not fit with principles of FOSS communities. This talk will explain the historical motivations of the current problem, frame the political problem as it exists today, discuss how copyleft-next is one approach to improving the situation, and propose other ideas and work that activists can use to address the problem in other ways.\r\n\r\nMore reading:\r\n * https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/mar/17/copyleft-ethical-source-putin-ukraine/\r\n * https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jun/30/who-should-own-foss-copyrights/\r\n * https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jul/23/tivoization-and-the-gpl-right-to-install/\r\n * https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/jan/06/copyleft-equality/\r\n * https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/oct/16/mongodb-copyleft-drafting/", "conf_url": "https://2023.everythingopen.au/schedule/presentation/49/", "cancelled": false }, { "room": "Clarendon Room A", "rooms": [ "Clarendon Room A" ], "start": "2023-03-15T13:30:00", "end": "2023-03-15T14:15:00", "duration": 45, "kind": "talk", "section": "main", "section_name": "Main Conference", "track": null, "conf_key": 30, "license": "CC-BY-SA", "tags": "", "released": true, "contact": [], "name": "Raising Heretics on a Diet of Open Data", "authors": [ { "name": "Dr Linda McIver", "twitter": "", "mastodon": "@lindamciver@aus.social", "contact": "redacted", "picture_url": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/99af3faff66f34ca26c6609e90488455?s=120&d=mp", "code": "60", "biography": "Dr Linda McIver pioneered authentic Data Science and Computational Science education with real impact for secondary students and founded the Australian Data Science Education Institute in 2018.

Given that they have been working in the field for three years, what is the probability they are receiving the same pay as James, a cis white man?\" But, of course, we need open pay data in order to run that project!\r\nWhen we give kids real things to do, and the power to create change, they see the purpose of tech & data science skills, and are eager to learn.

Privacy laws are essential to challenge this behaviour, but they do not help individuals because digital life is too fast for the laws to keep up. This is true even in EU countries with very strong laws, and in Australia, realistically even the most savvy citizen cannot enforce their rights to digital privacy. We need a new approach, and we need it much sooner than legal and human rights campaigners can deliver it. Society is generally is becoming more aware of privacy rights, just as it seems technically impossible to deliver them.\r\n\r\nThat seeming impossibility has recently turned around, thanks to advances in traditional cryptography and some very fortunate facts of mobile software. A joint effort by the LumoSQL team, cryptographers from the Faculty of Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and some wonderful open source contributors has produced four promising inventions.\r\n\r\nToday the four inventions are a mixture of testable code, published academic work and unfinished proposals:\r\n\r\n* Enforceable permissions that are part of the data, so that enforcement is a matter of mathematics, not software. This uses Predicate Encryption. We are developing this as an Internet standard, so that encrypted data can travel across clouds and devices and always be readable by anyone who satisfied the permission requirements. This is the Lumion standard, which is light on detail but big on ambition\r\n\r\n* A small and compatible extension to the common SQL database language so that these rich permissions are accessible to any application which uses SQL, and for inclusion in any SQL database. We call this SQL-PE, for Predicate Encryption\r\n\r\n* A small and compatible extension to the SQLite SQL database used for storage on every phone and device. This includes the new SQL-PE permissions system, with Lumion storage for encrypted data with permissions. We call this LumoSQL, and it is the first mainstream database with per-row encryption. LumoSQL is backwards-compatible with SQLite, the most-used software anywhere\r\n\r\n* A way of reliably including concept of time as an additional permission for data, e.g. \"this row of transaction data will not be visible to the tax department until June 2023\". We distribute time publicly as Lumions, and call the distribution system \"Not Before Time\". This is a kind of upside-down PKI, with a reduced problem space that hopefully reduces the main objections to PKI\r\n\r\nThe combined effect of these inventions is that we, the end users, can authoritatively dictate permissions that apply to our data, turning the existing power structures upside down.\r\n\r\nTake-aways from this talk:\r\n\r\n* practical actions (including for non-technical attendees) that reduce their privacy risk in everyday living, and in privacy emergencies\r\n\r\n* an invitation for contributions from the more technically-inclined.

He made his first kernel contributions in 2000 with some work on ramfs, and then the \"orinoco\" wireless driver while at LinuxCare.\r\n\r\nFrom there he moved to IBM where he worked on the kernel for embedded PowerPC systems. He wrote, and still maintains, the device tree compiler \"dtc\" to assist with this work, and its since become a standard tool for ARM as well as PowerPC embedded kernels. From there he moved on to kernel code for POWER server machines and then virtualization. He wrote the \"pseries\" machine for qemu and was PowerPC target maintainer in qemu for around 5 years.\r\n\r\nIn 2013 he moved to Red Hat where he again worked on virtualization in qemu and the kernel. He briefly worked on Kata Containers, then became the second major contributor to passt/pasta, a modern userspace networking implementation with applications for virtual machines, containers and running both together in the cloud.", "username": "" } ], "abstract": "It was the dawn of personal internet access; the mid-90s. Lots of university students and staff had dial-up shell accounts, but dial-up PPP was still hard to come by. So, Slirp was born: a way to fake Layer 2 network connectivity - SLIP or PPP - by translating frames to Layer 4 network operations - ordinary socket calls which could be made by an unprivileged user. It was a useful hack that had its day, then quickly become obsolete as commercial ISPs became common and cheap. Or did it..?\r\n\r\nIt turns out there are modern cases where Slirp is still used:\r\n * QEMU's \"-net user\" mode is based on Slirp; it's not much used in production VMs, but it's extremely convenient when developing or experimenting, because it requires neither raised privilege nor configuration.\r\n * slirp4netns uses Slirp to connect a network namespace with a tuntap device to the host's network, and forms the basis of networking for rootless container runtimes.\r\n * KubeVirt runs virtual machines inside Kubernetes pods, and needs to connect the VM's virtual NIC to the pod's network, ideally without requiring the configuration of special privileges on the cluster.\r\n\r\nBut, despite its uses, Slirp is a very old, very clunky, and difficult to maintain codebase with a poor track record on security and resource leaks. passt (Plug a Simple Socket Transport) is a completely new implementation of the Slirp concept: it connects a Layer 2 network transport (e.g. QEMU's \"-net socket\" protocol) to regular Layer 4 socket calls. pasta (Pack a Subtle Tap Abstraction) is a variant which connects a tuntap device in a network namespace (such as a container) instead of a VM.\r\n\r\nThis talk will discuss the uses for passt, the basics of its implementation, and some future plans. We'll also look at some design decisions we've made to help keep it simpler and more secure than Slirp (for example, minimizing the use of NAT, and using no dynamic memory allocation). There will be demonstrations. The project is in its early days, but we think it's already useful and and we'd love to have more users and contributors.\r\n\r\npasst was originally authored by Stefano Brivio, and in the past six months I've become the second major contributor.\r\n\r\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMUEtEt1i3I\r\nLA Archive: http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/everythingopen/2023/clarendon_room_a/Tuesday/passt_pasta_Modern_unprivileged_networking_for_containers_and_VMs.webm", "conf_url": "https://2023.everythingopen.au/schedule/presentation/4/", "cancelled": false }, { "room": "Clarendon Room D", "rooms": [ "Clarendon Room D" ], "start": "2023-03-14T16:40:00", "end": "2023-03-14T17:25:00", "duration": 45, "kind": "talk", "section": "main", "section_name": "Main Conference", "track": null, "conf_key": 20, "license": "CC-BY-SA", "tags": "", "released": true, "contact": [], "name": "Is Free and Open Cybersecurity Essential, Desirable - Or Not?", "authors": [ { "name": "Paul Watters", "twitter": "", "mastodon": "", "contact": "redacted", "picture_url": "/site_media/media/speaker_photos/1648258272361.jpeg.120x120_q85_crop.jpg", "code": "75", "biography": "Professor Watters is Strategic Cyber Consultant at Ionize, and Academic Dean at Academies Australasia Polytechnic.

My observation is that the overall security posture of the nation could be improved by adopting a more open, transparent and sharing-friendly culture, where collective security is seen as a common goal. There is little doubt that Free and Open Source software and materials benefit from having many eyes analysing flaws and identifying quality issues. Even governments have invested heavily in \"open source\" intelligence in recent years, perhaps latently recognising the significance of data which is openly shared, rather than hidden away. I will discuss some case studies and try to derive some broad principles on how business, government and a very broad set of stakeholders can collaborate to build a more secure foundation for Australia's diverse online ecosystem.\r\n\r\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl9bbxtmOx8\r\nLA Archive: http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/everythingopen/2023/clarendon_room_d/Tuesday/Is_Free_and_Open_Cybersecurity_Essential_Desirable_Or_Not.webm", "conf_url": "https://2023.everythingopen.au/schedule/presentation/48/", "cancelled": false }, { "room": "Clarendon Auditorium", "rooms": [ "Clarendon Auditorium" ], "start": "2023-03-16T16:45:00", "end": "2023-03-16T17:15:00", "duration": 30, "kind": "talk", "section": "main", "section_name": "Main Conference", "track": null, "conf_key": 78, "license": "CC-BY-SA", "tags": "", "released": true, "contact": [], "name": "Lightning Talks", "authors": [ { "name": "Sae Ra Germaine", "twitter": "ms_mary_mac", "mastodon": "@saera@ausglam.space", "contact": "redacted", "picture_url": "/site_media/media/speaker_photos/2E7A6235_copy.jpg.120x120_q85_crop.jpg", "code": "27", "biography": "Sae Ra is a strong advocate for IT and Open Source in the Library industry.
