A method for determining duplication of a vulnerability may include a vulnerability extraction step of extracting vulnerability uniform resource locator (URL) addresses including the vulnerability from an analysis target server; a hash generation step of generating the URL hash value corresponding to the extracted vulnerability from the vulnerability URL address; and a duplication determination step of determining, when the URL hash value is present in the first comparison table, that the vulnerability is duplicated and excluding the corresponding vulnerability from vulnerability information.

An example network device receives an encapsulated network packet via a network tunnel; extracts IPv6 header information from the encapsulated network packet; extracts IPv4 header information from the encapsulated network packet; determines that the encapsulated network packet is a spoofed network packet based on the IPv6 header information and the IPv4 header information; and in response to detecting the spoofed network packet, transmits a message to a Tunnel Entry Point (TEP) device, the message including data representing the IPv6 header information and IPv4 header information. A tunnel entry point (TEP) device may receive the message and use the message to detect spoofed IPv6 traffic, e.g., when an IPv6 header and an IPv4 header of an encapsulated packet matches the IPv6 header and the IPv4 header specified in the message. In this manner, the TEP device may block, rate limit, or redirect spoofed network traffic.

A system for detecting and mitigating attacks using forged authentication objects within a domain is provided, comprising an authentication object inspector configured to observe a new authentication object generated by an identity provider, and retrieve the new authentication object; and a hashing engine configured to retrieve the new authentication object from the authentication object inspector, calculate a cryptographic hash for the new authentication object, and store the cryptographic hash for the new authentication object in a data store; wherein subsequent access requests accompanied by authentication objects are validated by comparing hashes for each authentication object to previous generated hashes.

Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-program product (computer-readable storage medium) embodiments for discovering contextualized placeholder variables in template code. Some embodiments include invoking a render call to a template engine to render an input template and then receiving a message identifying a placeholder variable within the input template in response to invoking the render call. These embodiments may further include generating multiple rendered templates by rendering the input template based at least in part on a unique value and a modified unique value for the placeholder variable. Further still, these embodiments may also include storing the placeholder variable in a security vulnerability data structure in response to detecting a change in context associated with the placeholder variable between the multiple rendered templates.

A privacy information transmission method, an apparatus, a computer device and a computer-readable medium are disclosed. The method may include: generating authentication information in response to receiving of an identity registration request message sent by a terminal device via a base station, and encrypting the authentication information with a first private key to generate encrypted authentication information; sending a first identity identification request message carrying the encrypted authentication information to the terminal device; and receiving an identity identification response message returned by the terminal device, and acquiring privacy information from the identity identification response message.

In general, one or more embodiments of the invention relates to systems and methods for detecting ransomware attacks earlier and closer to the time of attack. The ransomware attack can be detect by determining a change rate of data blocks between snapshots. The ransomware attack can also be detected by determining the pattern of changes in the blocks deviates from a normal pattern. By making these determinations, a quick identification of possible ransomware attacks can be made and other methods of mitigating the attack can be deployed when they are may still be useful to mitigate potential damage to a user’s data.

Disclosed herein are systems and method for automated malicious code replacement. In one exemplary aspect, a method may comprise scanning for malicious content in a file comprising a script written in an interpretable programming language, wherein the malicious content triggers malicious activity on a computing device that stores the file. The method may comprise detecting a malware injection in the file based on the scanning, wherein the malware injection comprises at least one operator that enables the malicious activity. The method may comprise identifying a benign operator that can replace the at least one operator to prevent execution of the malicious activity without causing a syntax error. The method may comprise updating the file by replacing the at least one operator with the benign operator.

A computing device may include a memory and a processor configured to cooperate with the memory to establish a connection with a client device, with the client device having a first credential to connect the client device to a computing service, and the first credential being provided by a proxy. The processor may further receive a request from the client device via the connection to validate the first credential before use of the first credential by the client device, and validate the first credential with use of a second credential for the computing service obtained independent of the proxy.

A method and system for detecting illegitimate messages injected into legitimate messages of a bus, such as a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, are provided. Legitimate messages are broadcasted over the bus with a period whereby the legitimate messages are periodic legitimate messages. A controller connected to the bus receives at a first time instant a first message from the bus and receives at a second time instant a second message from the bus. The controller compares a first difference in time between the second time instant and the first time instant with a limit. The limit is two-thirds of the period. An anomaly is detected when the first difference in time is less than the limit.

The method of some embodiments assigns a client to a particular datacenter from among multiple datacenters. The method is performed at a first datacenter, starting when it receives security data associated with a second datacenter. Then the method receives a DNS request from the client. Based on the received security data, the method sends a DNS reply assigning the client to the particular datacenter instead of the second datacenter. The receiving and sending is performed by a DNS cluster of the datacenter in some embodiments. The particular datacenter includes a set of servers implementing an application for the client in some embodiments. The datacenter to which the client gets assigned can be the first datacenter or a third datacenter.
