Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems for detecting suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors intelligently, dynamically, and/or adaptively determine computing device behaviors that are to be observed, the number of behaviors that are to be observed, and the level of detail or granularity at which the mobile device behaviors are to be observed. The various aspects efficiently identify suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors without requiring an excessive amount of processing, memory, or energy resources.
Abstract:
A computing device processor may be configured with processor-executable instructions to implement methods of using behavioral analysis and machine learning techniques to evaluate the collective behavior of two or more software applications operating on the device. The processor may be configured to monitor the activities of a plurality of software applications operating on the device, collect behavior information for each monitored activity, generate a behavior vector based on the collected behavior information, apply the generated behavior vector to a classifier model to generate analysis information, and use the analysis information to classify a collective behavior of the plurality of software applications.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods for dynamically modifying shared libraries on a client computing device. Various embodiment methods may include receiving a first set of code segments and a first set of code sites associated with a first application. Each code in the first set of code sites may include an address within a compiled shared library stored on the client computing device. The compiled shared library may include one or more dummy instructions inserted at each code site in the first set of code sites, and each code segment in the first set of code segments may be associated with a code site in the first set of code sites. The client computing device may insert each code segment in the first set of code segments at its associated code site in the compiled shared library.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to behavioral analysis to automate monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) device health in a direct and/or indirect manner. In particular, normal behavior associated with an IoT device in a local IoT network may be modeled such that behaviors observed at the IoT device may be compared to the modeled normal behavior to determine whether the behaviors observed at the IoT device are normal or anomalous. Accordingly, in a distributed IoT environment, more powerful “analyzer” devices can collect behaviors locally observed at other (e.g., simpler) “observer” devices and conduct behavioral analysis across the distributed IoT environment to detect anomalies potentially indicating malicious attacks, malfunctions, or other issues that require customer service and/or further attention. Furthermore, devices with sufficient capabilities may conduct (local) on-device behavioral analysis to detect anomalous conditions without sending locally observed behaviors to another aggregator device and/or analyzer device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for automating customer service for a monitored device (MD). A method for an Internet of Everything management device to automate customer service for a monitored device comprises collecting sensor data from a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises a first sensor that is not included in the MD, determining whether the MD is exhibiting abnormal behavior based on an analysis of the collected sensor data, and transmitting a report to a customer service entity associated with the MD in response to a determination that the MD is exhibiting abnormal behavior.
