摘要： Method of preparing a calibration curve and determining the amount of an analyte polynucleotide present in a test sample, particularly using real-time amplification data. The method involves determining indicia of amplification for both the internal calibrator and analyte polynucleotide standards, each as a function of the amount of analyte polynucleotide standard input into the amplification reaction.

摘要： A computer-implemented method for detecting an obfuscated executable may include identifying an executable file programmed to execute on a target architecture. The method may also include disassembling a first section of the executable file and determining whether the first section of the executable file comprises a valid instruction. The method may further include determining, based on whether the first section of the executable file comprises a valid instruction, whether the executable file poses a security risk. Various other methods, computer-readable media, and systems are also disclosed.

摘要： An exemplary method for reducing false positives produced by heuristics may include: 1) training a heuristic using a set of training data, 2) deploying the heuristic, 3) identifying false positives produced by the heuristic during deployment, and then 4) tuning the heuristic by: a) duplicating at least a portion of the false positives, b) modifying the training data to include the duplicate false positives, and c) re-training the heuristic using the modified training data. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

摘要： The launch of an installer or uninstaller is detected. A process lineage tree is created representing the detected launched installer/uninstaller process, and all processes launched directly and indirectly thereby. The detected installer/uninstaller process is represented by the root node in the process lineage tree. Launches of child processes by the installer/uninstaller process and by any subsequently launched child processes are detected. The launched child processes are represented by child nodes in the tree. As long as the installer/uninstaller process represented by the root node in the tree is running, the processes represented by nodes in tree are exempted from anti-malware analysis. The termination of the installer/uninstaller process is detected, after which the processes represented by nodes in the process lineage tree are no longer exempted from anti-malware analysis.

摘要： A method for analyzing an unverified executable file within an antivirus engine in order to identify the executable file as being obfuscated by an unknown obfuscator program is described. An unverified executable file comprising obfuscated library strings is received. A list of pre-verified library strings is accessed. A determination is made as to whether the unverified executable file comprises one or more of the pre-verified library strings. The unverified executable file is identified as being obfuscated by an unknown obfuscator program if the file does not comprise one or more of the pre-verified library strings.

摘要： A stealth threat detection manager detects stealth threats. The stealth threat detection manager monitors system activities that are vulnerable to being used by stealth threats. Dynamic link libraries are often used by stealth threats, so in some embodiments the stealth threat detection manager monitors for the loading thereof. The stealth threat detection manager detects when a system activity being monitored occurs, and after the occurrence of the activity, determines whether a specific component associated with the activity (e.g., the dynamic link library being loaded) is accessible on the computer. If the component is accessible, the stealth threat detection manager concludes that the component is non-stealthed. On the other hand, if the component is not accessible, the stealth threat detection manager concludes that the component is a stealth threat, and takes appropriate action in response.

摘要： In one embodiment an IO request packet (IRP) attempting to access a computer disk is evaluated to determine if the request identifies an area of a computer disk to be accessed that is marked as bad in a file system. When the request identifies an area of the computer disk to be accessed that is marked as bad in a file system, the request is assumed to be indicative of a rootkit. In another embodiment an IO request packet is evaluated to determine if the request identifies an area of the computer disk to be accessed that was not identified in requests detected in the file system level of the kernel. When the stalled request identifies an area of the computer disk to be accessed not detected in requests detected in the file system level of the kernel, the request is assumed to be indicative of a rootkit.

摘要： A clamp includes a hoop section and actuating elements. The hoop section forms a cavity for holding a tubular object. The hoop section has first and second ends. First and second actuating elements are respectively coupled with the first and second ends of the hoop section. Squeezing the ends of the actuating members together causes the hoop section to expand to facilitate installation of the clamp onto an object to be clamped and removal of the clamp from the object. Thus, the clamping force generated by the clamp is limited by the restoring forces inherent in the shape, sized, and material of the hoop section when the actuating members are released. The actuating members include expansion limiting extensions which contact each other after a prescribed amount of expansion of the hoop section to thereby prevent further expansion, and possible yielding, of the hoop section. The clamp can be employed as an anti-rotation device secured to a syringe of a syringe pump.

摘要： A computer-implemented method for detecting rootkits. The method may include identifying, from a control platform, a first directory listing. The first directory listing may be associated with a file system. The method may include identifying, from a target platform, a second directory listing. The second directory listing may be associated with the file system. The target platform and the control platform may be running concurrently on a computing device. The method may also include detecting a discrepancy between the first directory listing and the second directory listing and determining that the discrepancy is a result of the target platform being infected with a rootkit. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
