At least some embodiments are directed to an exemplary computer-based electronic activity tracking system that detects activity patterns receiving data values that represent at least one electronic activity. The exemplary electronic activity tracking system includes a detector of unsecure electronic activities that identifies electronic activity patterns performed by a user or non-person entity. The detector of unsecure electronic activities utilizes unsupervised machine learning techniques to detect the electronic activity patterns. The detected electronic activity patterns correspond to unsecure or malicious electronic activities. The electronic activity tracking system outputs notifications indicative of identified unsecure or malicious activity patterns and identifies entities associated with such unsecure or malicious activity patterns. The exemplary electronic activity tracking system implements a graphical user interface operated from a client computing device. The graphical user interface enables a user of the client computing device to perform actions upon the detection of the unsecure or malicious activity patterns.

Computer based system for detecting electronic activity patterns and methods of use thereof

The invention enables mapping inputs to a software application. The invention comprises (i) receiving a keymap that correlates a first set of input events capable of being generated through an input device, with a second set of input events that are recognizable by the software application, (ii) receiving from the input device, a first data signal associated with a first input event within the first set of input events, (iii) identifying based on the received keymap, a second input event within the second set of input events, wherein the second input event is mapped to the first input event by the received keymap, (iv) generating a second data signal, wherein the second data signal is recognizable by the software application as corresponding to the second input event, and (v) implementing a state change in the software application based on the second data signal.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward apparatuses, systems and methods of switching operating systems. The present invention includes a multi-OS runtime with virtualization technology, which allows applications developed for different operating systems to execute simultaneously, side-by-side, on the same computing device. The computing device typically includes a host operating system and at least one guest operating system. An application, which is disguised as a host operating system specific application on the host operating system, is configured to be installed and executed within the guest operating system. Host operating system based policies can be set for the application. The application can be launched from the host operating system, the guest operating system or both. The computing device allows for the ability to switch between different operating systems via a soft button, a hard button, or based on a configuration of the computing device, or a combination thereof.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of providing non-native notifications and system thereof. These notifications are generated by non-native applications that can be executed on a target device, specifically within a guest environment on the target device, or can be executed on a physically disjoint source device that is communicatively coupled with the target device via a local pairing mechanism or a service in a cloud. The application player and the source device are able to capture these non-native notifications. The target device is able to receive and present these non-native notifications to a user. Notifications include alerts, reminders, updates and messages generated by non-native applications. The user does not need to access the non-native applications, or the application player or source device they are executing on to see the non-native notifications. Instead, the user views these non-native notifications at a central location on the target device.

Method of providing non-native notifications and system thereof

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of mapping inputs and system thereof. A computing device is configured to access a previously created profile for, such as, game play using a communicatively coupled controller to manipulate events on the computing device. The profile can be locally accessed from the computing device or remotely accessed from a cloud. The profile includes at least one mapping, each associating an input from the controller to an instruction understandable by an event on the computing device. The controller is integral with the computing device or is a physically disjoint device separate from the computing device. In some embodiments, the computing device is communicatively coupled with a camera configured to capture the input. One or more features of the controller can also be mapped to instructions understandable by the computing device.

Method of mapping inputs and system thereof

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of providing non-native notifications and system thereof. These notifications are generated by non-native applications executing on a physically disjoint source device that is communicatively coupled with a target device via an account in a cloud. An application player executing on the source device is able to capture these non-native notifications. The target device is able to receive and present these non-native notifications to a user. Notifications include alerts, reminders, updates and messages generated by non-native applications. The user does not need to access the non-native applications, or the application player or source device they are executing on to see the non-native notifications. Instead, the user views these non-native notifications at a central location on the target device.

A method of and system for protecting a computer system against denial-of-service attacks or other exploitation. The method comprises collecting network data and analyzing the network data using statistical and heuristic techniques to identify the source of the exploitation upon receiving an indication of exploitation. Upon identifying the network source, the network data associated with the network is blocked, redirected, or flow controlled. Preferably, the method also includes identifying when the system is being exploited.

Method of and system for computer system denial-of-service protection

Embodiment of the invention provide a reverse name lookup function for providing an absolute path name or file name and absolute path name to the file name parent directory based on a vnode reference, NFS file handle reference, or file identifier reference associated with a computer virtual file system. A method in accordance with the invention comprises populating a table structure with vnodes, names, and absolute path information associated with the vnodes. The table structure and information are sufficient to generate an absolute path name and file name for each vnode. The table structure also includes entries for file identifiers, names, and associated absolute path information associated with the file identifiers. This information is sufficient to generate an absolute path name for each file identifier. The table is populated by hooking virtual file system function calls including the vnode name lookup function and the vnode inactive function. The table is populated with the file identifier entries by hooking the vnode inactive function.

Method of and system for reverse mapping vnode pointers

A method of identifying malicious code based on identifying software executing out of writable memory of the computer system. In one embodiment, the identification of the malicious code occurs when the code accesses a predetermined memory address. This address can reside in the address space of an application, a library, or an operating system component. In one embodiment, the access to the predetermined address generates an exception invoking exception handling code. The exception handling code checks the memory attributes of the code that caused the exception and determines whether the code was running in writeable memory.
