Malware

Log4j vulnerabilites and North Korean (allegedly) hackers infiltrating Flutter MacOS apps. Meet ReversingLabs' Kadi McKean and Frithjof Hoffmann for DubJUG 266 on Tuesday 26th May for an intriguing night of software security stories. As Kadi will demonstrate, simple stuff that has gone so wrong, you'll wonder how these companies, well... got it so wrong! FULL DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>> [https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/266-kadi-mckean-frithjof-hoffmann](https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/266-kadi-mckean-frithjof-hoffmann)

Welcome to learn and discuss Linux & c++ topics on Tue 26.5. Aayush Sahay (Lead Developer, Travel Department) gives first a lightning talk on Unifying CLI Tools for 4 Different Linux Distributions. When you like BAT & TMUX and want them with identical personalized CLI views on Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu & Debian, you end up in a jungle of package managers, naming differences, version challenges and automating needs… Aayush will discuss how he is navigating this and also wants to hear other suggestions. https://aaysah92.github.io/ Next we hear from Tamás Boros (Graphics c++ dev and performance engineer) on Graphics compatibility layers on Linux. Lately Tamás has been living in the world of mobile and consoles, focusing on how to bridge the gap between heavy-duty rendering and portable hardware. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Linux/c++ enthusiast, you are very welcome to join. This event is a joint meetup between Dublin C++ User Group, Linux Developers Ireland and Dublin Linux Community. Please RSVP in one of the 3 meetup groups, so we know the seating needs beforehand. The program will start at 7pm, in the Abbey room of the Camden Court hotel, where we can also quench our thirst before and after the talks in the bar next to the room. See you on Tue 26.5.! Please note: \- There is no free food/pizza served at this event\. \- We plan to take a few photos at the event\. \- This event is in Dublin city center and there is no free parking\.

We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day. Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace. Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace. If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace. PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk. Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.

Hello Everyone, For this event, we'll have a collaboration with the Linux Developer Ireland meetup. IMPORTANT: We had to change the venue for this one 200 meters. It is now the Abbey room at the Camden Court hotel. There is a bar next to the room for drinks before and after the talks. You can find the details and sign up here: https://meetu.ps/e/Q0Lgz/sZHJs/i As always, you can watch past events videos on our peertube channel: https://indymotion.fr/c/cppdug/videos And join the chat on matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#cppdug:gitter.im See you there

TOG will be open on Tuesday evenings from 19:00 to 21:30 for a general Open House event. Expect to find members and visitors in the space up to all sorts of activities. It's a great time to drop in and see what the space is about. If you're an artist, tinkerer, maker or just plain curious, come in and see what the space is about. Maybe you already have something to work on (or want to), have something to fix, create, design, bodge or tinker... drop in. We're also open for just for plain old social chat and hang out, with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. We have lots of free parking right outside our door.

This is our first ML Dublin Meetup for quite a while now and we are delighted to be partnering again with Bank of Ireland.

Welcome to an evening with IBM Research where we discuss AI, Agents, NASA and everything in between. An event hosted by **IBM Research** \- PyData Ireland is excited to be a community partner\. This is an inaugural **Open Source Science Dublin** meetup, where cutting-edge scientific research meets open-source technology, AI, and cloud-native infrastructure. ​ Expect **technical deep dives**, **cross-disciplinary conversations**, and (of course) **pizza** 🍕. For this first event, we’re exploring one of the most exciting frontiers today: **agentic systems for scientific discovery**, and how autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems are transforming the way research is conducted, validated, and scaled. ​ You’ll see real-world systems in action, hear from both applied and research perspectives, and walk away with a clearer picture of how agents are moving from hype to scientific infrastructure. ## **Talks** ​**Accelerated Knowledge Discovery at NASA: Building an Agentic AI Research Companion** * **Speaker:** James Barry, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research * **Description:** A practical look at NASA’s AKD platform: a chat-driven frontend orchestrating a multi-agent backend (planner + literature/data/code search) to turn questions into traceable, end-to-end scientific research—faster, more systematic, and with human oversight. ​ **Production-Ready AI Agents: Containerization, Sandboxes, and the LangChain Stack** * **Speaker:** Fabio Lorenzi, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research * **Description:** Building secure, scalable AI agents for industrial time series analysis using isolated code execution, LangGraph for agent orchestration, and FastAPI for production deployment—bridging foundation models and real-world maintenance workflows. **Science in the Agentic Era: Structured Experimentation with *ado*** * **Speaker:** Michael Johnston, STSM, Discovery Systems; Manager, Next Generation Systems, IBM Research * **Description:** A research-first framework for agent-assisted discovery: *ado* encodes the problem space and experimental plan as schemas, enabling agents to propose and refine studies while keeping every run transparent, reproducible, and scientifically auditable.

The next Dub\|Sec meetup will take place in the Wexford Room of the Camden Court Hotel on May 27\, 2026\. We'll be there from 6.30pm. Our first speaker will start at around 7pm. **19:00 - Talk 1: The Invisible Thread: From Retail Data Breaches to Phone Scams.** by Vadym Melnychenko How “Zombie Systems” in local shops become digital back-doors, why this is happening, and what a more secure “Retail Fortress” approach looks like. **19:30 - Talk 2: Securing Originality - how do we protect the quality and authenticity of human thinking** by Kalyani Korpe As universities are scrambling to respond to GenAI use and students pushing back, how are organisations protecting human thinking. Original thinking is an asset that needs governance, the same way we govern systems and data. If you would like to speak at this event or at any future Dub\|Sec\, please email us at [info@dubsec.ie](http://info@dubsec.ie/)! Join us for some drinks, food and general chat about infosec. Everyone is welcome whether you’re a pro, an amateur or just curious about the field!

Welcome to lockpicking at Tog. Join us as we teach the various methods of picking and bypassing common locks in Ireland. All equipment provided. Warm clothes reccomended as the heating isnt the best.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
