A static analysis tool configured to determine a significance of static analysis results. The static analysis tool includes computer program code to perform a static analysis of a computer program and generate the static analysis results in response to the performance of the static analysis of the computer program. The program code can further analyze a description of a result item from the static analysis results, and based on the analysis of the description of the result item, assign to the result item information from an ontology scheme. The program code can further include code determine a significance value for the result item in response to the assignment of the information from the ontology scheme and automatically perform an action associated with the result item based on one or more of the information assigned from the ontology scheme or the significance value.

Automatically establishing significance of static analysis results

A static analysis tool configured to determine a significance of static analysis results. The static analysis tool can perform operations that include performing a static analysis of a computer program and generating the static analysis results in response to the performing the static analysis of the computer program. The operations can further include analyzing a description of a result item from the static analysis results, and based on the analyzing the description of the result item, assigning to the result item information from an ontology scheme. The operations can further include determining a significance value for the result item in response to the assigning the information from the ontology scheme and automatically performing an action associated with the result item based on one or more of the information assigned from the ontology scheme or the significance value.

Detection of a key logger includes determining a count of keystrokes that occur during each of a plurality of time windows. Write activity that occurs during each of the plurality of time windows can be measured. The number of key strokes occurring in window is compared with the write activity occurring during the window. In response to determining that the count of keystrokes in a time window is linearly related to the measurement of write activity in the time window for a threshold number of time windows of the plurality of windows, a notification of a potential presence of a key logger is provided.
