A computer-implemented method for creating a deception computing system may include (i) identifying, by a computing device, a dataset of security alert signatures from a set of client devices, (ii) determining, by the computing device, a set of software vulnerabilities based on the dataset of security alert signatures, (iii) clustering, by the computing device, the set of software vulnerabilities to increase a length of at least one potential attack path within a predetermined number of honeypot machines, and (iv) distributing, by the computing device and based on clusters of software vulnerabilities, a set of vulnerable software among a set of honeypot machines within a honeynet. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for creating a deception computing system

A method and computing device are provided for performing virtual camera functions during playback of media content. In the method, the computing device selects a region of interest (RoI) during a playback of media content, and represents the RoI as an ensemble of disparate hypotheses. Then the computing device identifies the RoI in a frame sequence sampled according to the hypotheses, performs a virtual camera action on the identified RoI, and plays the RoI with a virtual camera.

A method and a system for detecting and monitoring of at least one object in a multimedia content are provided. The method includes extracting at least one contour from the multimedia content using non-textural information in a segmented region within the multimedia content, computing a histogram for the extracted at least one contour in the segmented region of the selected multimedia content to represent an object shape based on the computed histogram, and determining an orientation change of the represented object shape within the segmented region of the multimedia content.

The embodiments described herein provide a method, program and computing network for processing a content request received via a computing network. The method comprises the steps of receiving an incoming request for content from a remote computing device, determining the content type requested by the incoming request and delivering the request to one of a plurality of servers according to the determined content request type.

Method, network and computer program for processing a content request

Methods and apparatus are provided for reliably transmitting data. A method comprises identifying a metric for a first frame of a plurality of frames, wherein the metric is indicative of decoding significance for the first frame among the plurality of frames. When the metric corresponds to a relatively high decoding significance, the method further comprises transmitting the first frame in accordance with an enhanced transmission scheme. When the metric corresponds to a relatively low decoding significance, the method further comprises transmitting the first frame in accordance with a default transmission scheme. The reliability of the enhanced transmission scheme is greater than the reliability of the default transmission scheme.

Methods and apparatus for transmitting data based on interframe dependencies

A method provides for differentiating usage permissions between different categories of communication traffic within a given network. The method includes ensuring one or more categories of traffic never transits communication radios, link, and/or spectrums dedicated to a different category of traffic. A combined routing metric is calculated using a scaling factor for discouraging usage of restricted communication links and encouraging usage of non-restricted communication links.

Data-type-based spanning tree reconfiguration includes determining volumes for one or more types of data transmitted in information flows in an existing spanning tree in a network. The spanning tree is reconfigured based on one or more of the volumes and the types of data transmitted in the flows.

Data-type-based network path configuration

A technique for identifying RTP based traffic in routers and switches is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of identifying RTP based traffic in routers and switches, includes receiving IP packets including a UDP header and a second header located substantially after the UDP header, generating statistical parameters by inspecting predetermined sequence of bits at predetermined offsets in the second header of each received IP packet for a predetermined number of IP packets, and determining whether the IP packet is an RTP based IP packet by comparing the generated statistical parameters to predetermined characteristics. The method also includes pre-filtering the received IP packets to allow only the IP packets comprising the UDP header and the second header to reach an RTP detection engine.

A system and method for multicast video streaming over a wireless local area network (WLAN) improves scalability and reliability. The method includes configuring the WLAN access point with a reserved video bandwidth (step). A multicast video stream including data packets marked with differentiated services code points (DSCPs) is then received (step). The multicast video stream is then converted to a plurality of 'n' unicast streams (step). Data packets in the unicast streams are then streamed from the WLAN access point to a plurality of 'n' mobile units using a selective packet discard algorithm that employs the DSCPs (step).

A method and apparatus for detecting predefined signatures in packet payload is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of string matching in a network packet payload includes performing hash on a current search string received in the network packet payload to generate respective search string hash values, storing the search string hash values in a hash buffer, performing rehash using the search string hash values to generate an associated search string rehashed value, performing a parallel search of the search string rehashed value against Content Addressable Memory (CAM) entries to determine if the search string rehashed value matches with one of the CAM entries, and identifying the current search string in the network packet payload as a match with one of the CAM entries based on the outcome of performing the parallel search.

Load-aware spanning tree reconfiguration includes determining volumes for information flows in an existing spanning tree in a network. The spanning tree is reconfigured based on the volumes to provide higher-volume information flows with shorter paths in the reconfigured spanning tree.

Load-aware network path configuration

The method, apparatus and system of detecting whether a router is compromised and configured to place malicious packets onto the network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for detecting a malicious router includes performing hash on a current ingress packet received via the network packet payload to generate ingress packet hash values. Further, includes performing hash on current egress packet that is associated with the current ingress packet to generate egress packet hash values. The generated ingress packet hash values and the egress packet hash values are then compared. Then the router is checked to determine whether it is potentially compromised and configured to place the malicious packets based on the outcome of the comparison.

Pattern matching for a network flow includes storing a representation of the pattern. The representation of the pattern includes hash values representing blocks of data in the pattern. Hash values are calculated for blocks of data in the network flow. The blocks of data are spread across multiple packets in the network flow. The calculated hash values for the blocks of data in the network flow are compared to the hash values in the representation of the pattern to detect the pattern in the network flow.

Pattern matching in a network flow across multiple packets

A system for communication flow estimation and method therefore are described. The system comprises a filter array arranged to receive a packet, an index hash unit, a flow count array, and a global average counter. The index hash unit generates an index based on a received index set. The flow count array comprises one or more counters and updates a counter based on a received index. The global average counter updates an average count of received packets based on the received packet.
