In this paper, we investigate the current state of the art of browser fingerprinting countermeasures to study the inconsistencies they may introduce in altered finger- prints, and how this may impact user privacy. To do so, we introduce FP-Scanner as a new test suite that explores browser fingerprint inconsistencies to detect potential alterations, and we show that we are capable of detecting countermeasures from the inconsistencies they introduce. Beyond spotting altered browser fingerprints...| www.usenix.org

The Confidential Consortium Framework (CCF) is an open-source platform for developing trustworthy and reliable cloud applications. CCF powers Microsoft's Azure Confidential Ledger service and as such it is vital to build confidence in the correctness of CCF's design and implementation. This paper reports our experiences applying smart casual verification to validate the correctness of CCF's novel distributed protocols, focusing on its unique distributed consensus protocol and its custom clien...| www.usenix.org
The 22nd USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '25) will take place April 28–30, 2025, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown in Philadelphia, PA, USA. NSDI focuses on the design principles, implementation, and practical evaluation of networked and distributed systems.| USENIX
Vulnerability management is an important cybersecurity function. Within vulnerability management, there are multiple points where knowing whether an exploit targeting a given vulnerability is publicly available would inform vulnerability mitigation priority. Despite the value of this question, there is no available historical baseline of when and how many vulnerabilities get associated public exploits. We analyze all vulnerabilities with CVE-IDs since two common repositories of public exploit...| www.usenix.org
We apply the ZKMB paradigm to several case studies. Experimental results suggest that in certain settings, performance is in striking distance of practicality; an example is a middlebox that filters domain queries (each query requiring a separate proof) when the client has a long-lived TLS connection with a DNS resolver. In such configurations, the middlebox's overhead is 2–5 ms of running time per proof, and client latency to create a proof is several seconds. On the other hand, clients ma...| www.usenix.org

The past few years has seen a massive success story for systems programming. Entire categories of bugs that used to plague systems programmers—like use-after-free, data races, and segmentation faults—have begun to completely disappear. The secret to this new reality is a set of systems programming languages chief among them Rust—whose powerful type systems are able to constructively eliminate these kind of bugs; if it compiles, then it’s correct … or at least, will not contain use-a...| USENIX

The USENIX Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to supporting the advanced computing systems communities and furthering the reach of innovative research. We are known for organizing conferences and publishing research, but our greatest strength lies in building communities in computing systems. We represent the interests of our communities in a variety of ways, including our professional affiliation with the Computing Research Association.| USENIX
The USENIX Test of Time Awards recognize papers that have had a lasting impact on their fields. To qualify, a paper must have been presented at its respective conference at least 10 years ago. Steering committees and past program chairs from USENIX conferences determine the award winners. FAST, NSDI, and the USENIX Security Symposium encourage nominations from the community for these awards. Please check the upcoming symposium's webpage for information about how to submit a nomination.| USENIX
USENIX celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. We celebrate decades of innovations, experiments, and gatherings of the advanced computing system community. And in the spirit of our ever-evolving community, field, and industry, we announce the bittersweet conclusion of our longest-running event, the USENIX Annual Technical Conference in July 2025, following USENIX ATC '25.| www.usenix.org
The 2024 USENIX Annual Technical Conference will take place July 10–12, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, in Santa Clara, CA, USA. USENIX ATC '24 will bring together leading systems researchers for cutting-edge systems research and the opportunity to gain insight into a wealth of must-know topics.| USENIX

Gathering all kinds of telemetry data is key to operating reliable distributed systems at scale. Once you have set-up your telemetry systems and recorded all relevant data, the challenge becomes to make sense of it and extract valuable information. Statistics is the art of extracting information from data. In this talk we will discuss mathematical methods, that will help you in your daily work as SRE. Specifically we will cover the following subjects:| www.usenix.org
SREcon is a gathering of engineers who care deeply about site reliability, systems engineering, and working with complex distributed systems at scale. SREcon strives to challenge both those new to the profession as well as those who have been involved in it for decades. The conference has a culture of critical thought, deep technical insights, continuous improvement, and innovation.| USENIX
