The disclosure is directed towards the real-time detection and mitigation of security threats to a domain name system (DNS) for a communication network. A graph-theoretic method is applied to detect compromised DNS assets (e.g., DNS servers and web servers that DNS servers map domain names to). A graph is generated from domain name resolution (DNR) transactions. The nodes of the graph represent the DNS assets and edges between the nodes represent the DNR transactions. The graph is analyzed to detect features that signal compromised assets. The detection of such features serves to act as a binary classifier for the represented assets. The binary classifier acts to classify each node as non-compromised or compromised. The analysis is guided by supervised and/or unsupervised machine learning methods. Once the assets are classified, DNR transactions are analyzed in real-time. If the transaction involves a compromised asset, an intervention is performed that mitigates the threat.

Detection and mitigation of security threats to a domain name system for a communication network

A virtual network manager and associated user interface/portal provide customers with simplified centralized management of virtual networks to implement logical groupings of network resources at scale. The virtual network manager enables network segmentation using names or tags, connectivity configuration to create different virtual network topologies, security configuration to provide enforcement of organizational rules without being overwritten and Network Security Group (NSG) management in a simple and scalable manner, safe deployment of network configurations to designated regions on a fix and roll forward basis, and virtual network (VNet) level monitoring.

Logical grouping of network resources and control at scale

A system and method of playing back 3D animations includes receiving user selection of a 3D file that contains animation parameters of an animated 3D model such as a preset animation or an embedded customized animation and inserting the animated 3D model into a 2D display canvas while preserving the animation parameters of the animated 3D model described in the 3D file. The animated 3D model is played and paused on the 2D display canvas under user control independent of a main thread that enables interaction with and editing of other content besides the animated 3D model in the 2D display. User adjustment of animation parameters of the animated 3D model during playback are received and the animated 3D model with the received user adjusted animation parameters are presented to the 2D display canvas on a display device.

Playback for embedded and preset 3D animations

A three-dimensional model can be presented in a two-dimensional digital canvas on a computer display. User input directed at the three-dimensional model in the two-dimensional canvas can be received. The three-dimensional model can be manipulated in response to the user input. A two-dimensional view of the three-dimensional model can be displayed. Corresponding data structures for the model, the canvas, and the two-dimensional objects in the data structure can be maintained and updated. One or more additional techniques can also be utilized in a computer system, such as continuous user-controlled model rotation in a two-dimensional canvas; viewport autofit and non-autofit modes; rotating the model around a camera look-at point; ghosting outside the viewport; normalizing modeling units and values; preset buttons with on-button previews; user-defined view presets; and/or two-dimensional image substitution.

Three-dimensional digital models in two-dimensional digital canvases

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for vector graphics object handling in computing environments are provided herein. In one example, an object handling service for a user application is provided that identifies an object in a scalable vector graphics format for import into the user application, parses a description of the object in the scalable vector graphics format to determine shape components that comprise the object, and iterates through each of the shape components to generate freeform shape primitives that recreates the object into a native object description of the user application.

An image rendering system having an image rendition module to determine formats of an image and a rendering theme and in response to these formats meeting a predetermined condition, parse the image into a plurality of image components and display at least one of the plurality of image components with a fill color as a background color of the rendering theme and with an alternate color of the rendering theme as an outline color of the at least one component.

Technologies are described herein for correcting the layout of shapes in a diagram, and specifically for diagrams having constraint-based layouts, such as with lists of regions and shapes directly connected without connecting lines. A request is received to correct the diagram layout. Shape layouts are predicted for each region, followed by minimal region corrections corresponding to the corrected shape layouts. Corrected layouts are provided sequentially through the lists of regions while resolving conflicts. Virtual nodes may be utilized to preserve region layouts when flipping or rotating diagrams. A connection classification and prioritization system is used to layout shapes and regions within a diagram having one or more direct connections between shapes and/or regions.

Concepts and technologies are described herein for touch interactions with a drawing application. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, user devices can obtain drawing data generated by a web-based drawing application and can display a drawing by rendering the data in one or more UIs. The user device can interpret touch gestures at a touch sensitive display used to present the UIs and can interpret the touch gestures as corresponding to one or more commands for modifying the UIs. According to various embodiments, the user device can interpret the touch gestures by determining if the touch gestures intersect an object in the drawing and other behavior associated with the touch gesture such as movement, subsequent touches, and whether or not an object intersected was selected when the touch gesture was commenced.

Systems and methods for distorting the form or format of an object in an electronic document. A sketch effect theme defines parameters that when applied to the object modify one or more coloring, formatting, and effects characteristics of the object to convey a sketched or hand-drawn look or feel to the object. The parameters are stored in a record associated with the document to persist the sketch effect theme through different sessions in which the document is active or open.

Using sketch effects as part of displaying one or more electronic document objects

Technologies are described herein for correcting the layout of shapes in a diagram. A request is received to correct the diagram layout. The positional relationships between the shapes in the diagram are determined through the creation of a dependency tree. According to various embodiments, the dependency tree defines parent-child relationships within the diagram and the physical position of shapes with respect to one another. Using the dependency tree and layout rules, the shapes within the diagram may be repositioned to correct misalignment and uneven spacing to make minor corrections in the layout while preserving the general configuration of the original layout. Embodiments provide for layout corrections of diagrams including regions that encompass member shapes and provide for conflict resolution when layout corrective actions result in overlaps of shapes, regions, or page breaks.
