This video contains a boot process from build from source linux kernel, working in ramfs. Quite a bit long boot, because it's generating ssh key pairs.
The VM is a guest to Windows 7 64bit but the filesystem is mounted over the network which is the reason why this build is relatively slow. note the '-j' switch on the make {target} ;) I remember the days when it would take 30 minutes to build a kernel ! ..... and yes make menuconfig is for wimps
Clip 1/5 Speaker: Jon Oberheide, University of Michigan As userspace applications and services become increasingly hardened against traditional memory corruption exploits, operating system kernels have become a source for abundant exploitation opportunities. In particular, the Linux kernel has recently suffered a bout of severe and high-profile vulnerabilities and drawn ire from the security community for it's mishandling of bugs with known security impact, resulting in a Pwnie award for "Lamest Vendor Response". Given the importance the Linux operating system plays in many enterprise environments, it is necessary to understand the strengths and weaknesses of its kernel's security. In this presentation, we'll explore these strengths and weaknesses by diving deep into the exploitation of vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. Using real-world vulnerabilities and exploits, we'll detail the traditional classes of kernel vulnerabilities such as control flow hijacking (via stack smashing and SLAB/SLUB/SLOB allocator corruption), invalid userland memory accesses (including NULL pointer dereferences), and information leakage. In addition to traditional bug classes, we'll cover the semantic vulnerabilities inherent in complex operating systems that require deep knowledge of kernel internals to identify and exploit subtle conditions (eg desynchronization in the VM subsystem), some of which have previously thought to be unexploitable. We'll also explore the attack surface of the ...

After looking for an alternative to Bitkeeper, Linus came up with his own solution and wrote that new tool he called Git. Exactly 5 years ago, Linus made the the very first commit into the official Linux kernel Git tree. Therefore we made a little movie to visualize the source code development of Linux over the past 5 years. The video was made with Gource, a source code visualization tool. Yes, there are some bugs in the video, but we found the overall idea way too cool to not share the result with you. You can find the video online in different formats. 1080p/720p/360p We hope you enjoy the video and celebrate 5 years of Linux kernel development in Git with us. Thanks.

By Greg Kroah-Hartman As A core member of the Linux Kernel team, Greg will show us how to write a kernel patch. This talk will cover the steps necessary to properly compose, describe, and submit a Linux kernel patch. It will cover the basic usage of git, and how that works with the Linux kernel development cycle. Attendees should have a solid grasp of the C language, and know how to build and install, a Linux kernel from scratch (if not,reading the book, Linux Kernel in a Nutshell, free online, ahead of time would be a very good idea.)FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Development European Meeting) is a European event centered around Free and Open Source software development. It is aimed at developers and all interested in the Free and Open Source news in the world. Its goals are to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software. More info at fosdem.org

Free / Open Source Software is on the rage but in a Free software only world will programmers still make money? According to Jonathan Corbet at a presentation at Linux.conf.au 2010 in Wellington, 75% of new code added to the Linux Kernel in 2008-2010 was from paid programmers. So Richard Stallman was correct, programmer can make money creating free ( as in freedom) software. Source: apcmag.com Please Rate this video and leave your thoughts in a text or video response.

See lii-enac.fr for technical details. This work was done during project shareit, carried out with Thales Avionics, intuilab and Stantum, and sponsored by Aerospace Valley. The shareit project explores the use of multitouch interaction for future commercial aircraft cockpits.
