An automatic aircraft monitoring and proposed rerouting system includes at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory is in electronic communication with the at least one processor. The at least one memory includes programming code configured to be executed by the at least one processor. The programming code is configured to automatically monitor at least one aircraft and to automatically provide a proposed flight reroute for the at least one aircraft.

Large scale system operation may be provided. Upon receiving an action request from a user, a determination may be made as to whether the user requires elevated permissions to perform the action request. In response to determining that the user requires elevated permissions to perform the action request, the action request may be forwarded to a lockbox for evaluation and a permission response may be received from the lockbox.

Operating large scale systems and cloud services with zero-standing elevated permissions

Anomalous activity is detected using event information that is received from accounts from within an online service. Generally, anomalous activity is detected by comparing a baseline profile that includes past event information for accounts of the online service with a recent profile that includes recent event information for the accounts. Anomalous activity is detected when the recent profile shows that one or more events are occurring more frequently as compared to the occurrence of the event the associated baseline profile. The events that are recorded and used in the anomaly detection may include all or a portion of events that are monitored by the online service. One or more reports may also be automatically generated and provided to one or more users to show activity that may be considered anomalous activity.

Detecting anomalous activity from accounts of an online service

A method to execute verb-noun cmdlets to retrieve mailbox information or receive connector information from an e-mail server includes opening an e-mail management tool and receiving and parsing at least one cmdlet having a verb-noun syntax. A get-mailbox cmdlet may retrieve mailbox information from an e-mail server and a get-receiveconnector cmdlet may retrieve receive connector information from the e-mail server. Both cmdlets may have parameters that allow the retrieval of all, one or many mailboxes or receive connectors associated with the e-mail server. One implementation of the e-mail management tool is in a WINDOWS&#x2122; computing environment where the management host executes in a POWERSHELL&#x2122; scripting environment.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for securely and efficiently extending data processing pipeline functionality. Data processing agents register, potentially based solely on configuration data contained in the data processing agents, to manipulate data of a data processing pipeline. Configuration data can identify a specified event (e.g., an SMTP verb) the data processing agent is to hook into. Upon detection of a specified event, one or more agents that have registered for the specified event are loaded into secure zones. Process boundaries separate agents from one another and from other processes such that execution of each agent is isolated from other processes. Pipeline related data (e.g., electronic message data) is transferred to each loaded agent. Application Program Interfaces ('APIs') can be used to transfer data between modules that implement embodiments of the present invention.

A method using cmdlets in association with a graphical user interface for an application, a command line interface, and a web-based interface for the application includes generating a command which invokes at least one cmdlet. Each cmdlets containing the business logic for the application. The same cmdlets may be invoked from either the GUI, the command line, or the web-based interface. The result is that the task performed by the cmdlet is the same for each interface where each interface is absent business logic.

Constructing user interfaces on top of cmdlets

Methods, systems, and computer program products for reducing unsolicited electronic messages by using immutable email identities in place of traditional email addresses. Over any of various protocols, an address generation server receives an electronic message requesting a disposable address for an intended recipient having an immutable email identity. The request also includes a return address for the sender, which discourages unsolicited messages because most senders of unsolicited messages prefer to remain anonymous. After receiving the request, the address generation server creates the disposable electronic message address, which may be limited in use. A challenge must be completed before the address may be discovered or used. This challenge further discourages unsolicited electronic messages because it imposes a burden that many senders of unsolicited messages are unwilling to bear.
