摘要:
Methods and systems for adjusting control settings associated with filtering or classifying communications to a computer or a network. The adjustment of the control settings can include adjustment of policy and/or security settings associated with the computer or network. Ranges associated with the control settings can also be provided in some implementations.
摘要:
Methods and systems for operation upon one or more data processors for reputation based firewall processing of communications. The reputation based firewall processing includes receiving a communication identifying an entity, retrieving the reputation of the entity identified by the communication, and handling the communication based upon the retrieved reputation.
摘要:
A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes generating a fingerprint based on properties extracted from data packets received over a network connection and requesting a reputation value based on the fingerprint. A policy action may be taken on the network connection if the reputation value received indicates the fingerprint is associated with malicious activity. The method may additionally include displaying information about protocols based on protocol fingerprints, and more particularly, based on fingerprints of unrecognized protocols. In yet other embodiments, the reputation value may also be based on network addresses associated with the network connection.
摘要:
A distributed proxy server system is operable to receive a request for Internet data from a user, obtain the user's identity, store at least one cookie on the user's web browser identifying the user, and filter undesired content before forwarding requested Internet data to the user. A master cookie is associated with the proxy server including user identity information, and an injected domain cookie is associated with the domain of the requested Internet data including user identity information.
摘要:
Methods and systems for managing data communications are described. The method includes receiving a data communication; analyzing the data communication to determine a particular type of sender or recipient activity associated with the data communication based at least in part on an application of a plurality of tests to the data communication; assigning a total risk level to the data communication based at least in part on one or more risks associated with the particular type of sender or recipient activity and a tolerance for each of the one or more risks; comparing the total risk level assigned to the data communication with a maximum total acceptable level of risk; and allowing the data communication to be delivered to a recipient in response to the comparison indicating that the total risk level assigned to the data communication does not exceed the maximum total acceptable level of risk.
摘要:
Methods and systems for operation upon one or more data processors for assigning a reputation to a messaging entity by analyzing the attributes of the entity, correlating the attributes with known attributes to define relationships between entities sharing attributes, and attributing a portion of the reputation of one related entity to the reputation of the other related entity.
摘要:
A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes receiving message sender traits associated with email senders, and receiving a dataset of known malware identifiers and network addresses from a spamtrap. The message sender traits may include behavior features and/or content resemblance factors in various embodiments. The method further includes classifying the email senders as malicious or benign based on the behavior features, and further classifying the malicious senders by malware identifiers based on similarity of content resemblance factors and the dataset of known malware identifiers and network addresses. In certain specific embodiments, a supervised classifier, such as a support vector machine, may be used to classify the malicious senders by malware identifiers.
摘要:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for segmenting a database based, at least in part, on a prevalence associated with known objects included in the database. In operation, a database including a plurality of known objects is identified. Additionally, the database is segmented into a plurality of segments. Furthermore, each of the plurality of known objects are assigned to one of the plurality of segments, based at least in part on a prevalence associated with each of the plurality of known objects.
摘要:
A computer network device receives a digital file and extracts a plurality of high level features from the file. The plurality of high level features are evaluated using a classifier to determine whether the file is benign or malicious. The file is forwarded to a requesting computer if the file is determined to be benign, and blocked if the file is determined to be malicious.
