摘要:
A method for generating look-up tables for a high speed multi-bit Real-time Deterministic Finite state Automaton (hereinafter RDFA). The method begins with a DFA generated in accordance with the prior art. For each state in the DFA, and for each of the bytes recognized in parallel the following occurs. First an n-closure list is generated. An n-closure list is a list of states reachable in n-transitions from the current state. Next an alphabet transition list is generated for each state. An “alphabet transition list” is a list of the transitions out of a particular state for each of the characters in an alphabet. Finally, the transitions are grouped into classes. That is, the transitions that go to the same state are grouped into the same class. Each class is used to identify the next state. The result is a state machine that has less states than the original DFA.

Embodiments of a system and method for computer inspection of information objects, for example, executable software applications for common components that may include elements of computer viruses, items from hacker exploit libraries, or other malware components. Information objects may contain identified sequences of instructions, each of which may be identified and hierarchically grouped based on their structural relationship(s). In the software context, programming languages may include multiple components that include functional code; these components are often shared between programmers. In some embodiments, an inspection of the hierarchical relationship of components (e.g., constituent functions) in the information objects may allow for identification of common components shared between programs. In some embodiments, authorship of objects or components in the objects may be identified by comparisons between component samples. In some embodiments, inspection of the relationship between components is limited to component groups having a specified structural size, complexity, or eccentricity.
摘要:
A system for processing regular expressions containing one or more sub-expressions. Information regarding one or more regular expressions, each containing one or more sub-expressions, is stored. Data is compared to the stored information regarding expressions in only a single pass through the data. From the comparison, for any stored expression, the location within the data of the beginning and end of each sub-expression, and the end of the regular expression, are determined. From such determination, the presence within the data of any one or more stored regular expressions containing one or more sub-expressions is identified.

An airport surface traffic surveillance and automation system addresses a wide variety of airport surface conflict scenarios using a combination of runway-status lights, controller alerts, and enhanced controller displays. Runway-status lights, composed of runway-entrance lights and takeoff-hold lights, provide alerts directly to pilots and vehicle operators, to prevent runway incursions before they happen. Controller alerts are used to direct a controller's attention to existing conflicts between aircraft on or near the runways. Enhanced displays present symbology to describe aircraft position, size, direction and speed of motion, altitude, aircraft flight number, and equipment type. Aircraft on approach to runways are also depicted on the displays. The invention features an airport surveillance system, having a radar data interface for receiving radar data from a radar source at a first data rate and for outputting radar data at a second data rate less than the first data rate, and a radar target processor coupled to the radar data interface. The radar target processor includes a clutter rejecter for generating a clutter map of the clutter signals in the radar data, and for substantially removing the clutter signals from the radar data using the clutter map, a morphological processor to receive radar data from the clutter rejecter and for detecting from the radar data target objects using the morphology of the target object, a multipath processor to receive radar data from the morphological processor and for detecting and removing from the radar data false targets resulting from multipath radar reflections, and a target tracker to receive radar data from the multipath processor and for tracking the path of target objects on or near the airport surface.

Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting covert DNS tunnels using n-grams. The majority of legitimate DNS requests originate from network content itself, for example, through hyperlinks in websites. So, comparing data from incoming network communications to a hostname included in a DNS request can give an indication on whether the DNS request is a legitimate request or associated with a covert DNS tunnel. This process can be made computationally efficient by extracting n-grams from incoming network content and storing the n-grams in an efficient data structure, such as a Bloom filter. The stored n-grams are compared with n-grams extracted from outgoing DNS requests. If n-grams from an outgoing DNS request are not found in the data structure, the domain associated with the DNS request is determined to be associated with a suspected covert DNS tunnel.

A system and method in accordance with the present invention determines in real-time the portions of a set of characters from a data or character stream which satisfies one or more predetermined regular expressions. A Real-time Deterministic Finite state Automaton (RDFA) ensures that the set of characters is processed at high speeds with relatively small memory requirements. An optimized state machine models the regular expression(s) and state related alphabet lookup and next state tables are generated. Characters from the data stream are processed in parallel using the alphabet lookup and next state tables, to determine whether to transition to a next state or a terminal state, until the regular expression is satisfied or processing is terminated. Additional means may be implemented to determine a next action from satisfaction of the regular expression.
摘要:
A system for determining the start of a match of a regular expression has a special state table which contains start state entries and terminal state entries; a plurality of start state registers for storing offset information indicative of the start of a match of the regular expression; a deterministic finite state automaton (DFA) next state table which, given the current state and an input character, returns the next state. The DFA next state table includes a settable indicator for any next state table entry which indicates whether to perform a lookup into the special state table. A compiler loads values into the special state table based on the regular expression.
