A directed greybox fuzzer for windows applications by Xin Ren, Peng-fei Wang, Xu Zhou, Kai Lu

“…Abstract Directed greybox fuzzing (DGF) has proven effective in vulnerability discovery, but most efforts focus on the Linux platform, with substantially less attention devoted to Windows platform due to its closed-source and GUI software nature. This paper proposes WinDGF, a novel directed greybox fuzzer for Windows applications that addresses challenges including target function localization in persistent testing, GUI bypassing, and fitness metric calculation. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”

Polycentric governance: Evaluating the relevance of traditional authorities in good governance in South Africa by Samson Faboye, Trynos Gumbo, Jackson Sebola

“…The study argues that good governance is defined by its ability to meet the needs of the broader populace, not simply select groups. It proposes a formalised polycentric governance framework that elevates traditional authorities as key actors in local government, with a focus on areas such as administrative hierarchy, development planning, land governance, and natural resource management. …”
