20130247226 | CONNECTIVITY-BASED AUTHORIZATION - Techniques which allow definition and enforcement of connectivity-based action and execution authorization policies. On a computer, an action or execution attempt is intercepted in real-time. The connectivity state of the computer, the subject process, the program file of the subject process, the attempted action and the object of the attempted action are determined. An authorization policy considering the connectivity state indicates whether the attempted action is authorized or not. In a tracking mode, the attempted action and its authorization are logged and the attempted action is allowed to proceed. In an enforcement mode, unauthorized attempts are blocked and logged, thereby enforcing the authorization policy. | 09-19-2013 |
20130247181 | Method of and system for computer system denial-of-service protection - A method of and system for protecting a computer system against denial-of-service attacks or other exploitation. The method comprises collecting network data and analyzing the network data using statistical and heuristic techniques to identify the source of the exploitation upon receiving an indication of exploitation. Upon identifying the network source, the network data associated with the network is blocked, redirected, or flow controlled. Preferably, the method also includes identifying when the system is being exploited. | 09-19-2013 |
20130247027 | Distribution and installation of solidified software on a computer - Techniques relating to the distribution and installation of solidified (or “frozen”) software on a computer are disclosed. Any additional software installed on the computer after the solidification process will not execute, regardless of whether the installation is initiated or otherwise performed by a person with administrative privilege. The installation of the solidified software can be carried out by installing pre-solidified software, by solidifying the software at the source code level and by solidifying the software by the compiler. The solidification can also be performed when software distributions are manufactured, for example on CDs, or as part of an installation procedure that can run and/or install differently each time. A business process for billing customers for the transfer or usage of solidified software is also disclosed. | 09-19-2013 |
20130246517 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTAINMENT OF NETWORKED APPLICATION CLIENT SOFTWARE BY EXPLICIT HUMAN INPUT - Method and system for containing networked application client software in order to perform specified transactions only given explicit consent of a legitimate user. In one embodiment, a confirmation interceptor intercepts a service request message, queries the user of the request for a confirmation, and then either passes the service request message onto server application software or drops the request, depending on the user's confirmation response. In soliciting and processing the confirmation response, query is formulated so that the required response cannot be automatically generated by software that attempts to automate and simulate the user's actions. | 09-19-2013 |
