摘要： Systems and methods for detection and prevention of Return-Oriented-Programming (ROP) attacks in one or more applications, including an attack detection device and a stack inspection device for performing stack inspection to detect ROP gadgets in a stack. The stack inspection includes stack walking from a stack frame at a top of the stack toward a bottom of the stack to detect one or more failure conditions, determining whether a valid stack frame and return code address is present; and determining a failure condition type if no valid stack frame and return code is present, with Type III failure conditions indicating an ROP attack. The ROP attack is contained using a containment device, and the ROP gadgets detected in the stack during the ROP attack are analyzed using an attack analysis device.

摘要： The present invention enables capturing API level calls using a combination of dynamic instrumentation and library overriding. The invention allows event level tracing of API function calls and returns, and is able to generate an execution trace. The instrumentation is lightweight and relies on dynamic library/shared library linking mechanisms in most operating systems. Hence we need no source code modification or binary injection. The tool can be used to capture parameter values, and return values, which can be used to correlate traces across API function calls to generate transaction flow logic.

摘要： Methods and systems for performance inference include inferring an internal application status based on a unified call stack trace that includes both user and kernel information by inferring user function instances. A calling context encoding is generated that includes information regarding function calling paths. The analysis includes performing a top-down latency breakdown and ranking calling contexts according to how costly each function calling path is.

摘要： A method and system for coordinating energy management in a virtualized data center including a plurality of physical servers and a plurality of virtual machines (VMs), includes analyzing status information about the virtualized data center; determining server utilization target settings for server consolidation from the analyzed status information; and executing the server consolidation according to the determined server utilization target settings. Server consolidation can be executed by determining an effective size of each of the VMs and placing the VMs on the servers in a selective manner using an independent workload VM placement process, a correlation-aware VM placement process, or a migration-cost and correlation-aware VM placement process.
