US Patent:

20060031928, Feb 9, 2006

Filed:

Aug 9, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/915686

Inventors:

James Conley - Herndon VA, US
Eric Cole - Leesburg VA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

726011000

Abstract:

Devices and methods are provided to ascertain an existence of tunneling activity through a network firewall. According to one methodology, a set of norms is established for network traffic and a series of data packets transmitted through the firewall are monitored. Data packet attributes are analyzed to determine an absence or an existence of tunneling activity based on whether the attributes conform to the norms. A device is also provided in the form of a detector which is situated behind a network firewall and incorporates a data capture component for passively monitoring network traffic through the firewall and for producing detection data, and a data analysis component for comparing the detection data to a set of network traffic norms that are characteristic of an absence of tunneling activity. Tunneling activity potentially exists if the detection data fails to conform to any one of the set of norms.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

726011000

Abstract:

Provided is a method for configuring filter parameters for a network firewall whereby information corresponding to a core set of data parameters is extracted from each of a plurality of data packets traversing a network segment. The extracted information is stored as a respective log entry within a database. A set of proposed filter parameters is established from the log entries and a final set of filter parameters is generated from the proposed filter parameters.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707003000

Abstract:

A computerized method, a computer-readable medium and a computerized test system are provided for analyzing target web-based applications, for example, to identify design characteristics of the application which render it susceptible to exploit. Hypertext links within the application are navigated to obtain a listing of associated web pages. Each web page may then be parsed to extract associated traffic data which matches any search items pertaining to sensitive data categories of interest. The extracted traffic data is stored within a storage location to identify a compilation of potentially exploitable design characteristics.

Abstract:

A method of cleaning and replacing fluids of hydraulic brake systems is pided. The method may be implemented to either clean the system and resupply the same type of fluid or replace one type of brake fluid with a new and different type of brake fluid. The method includes the use of an intermediate solvent fluid, generally in combination with air, to dilute the first contaminated brake fluid which, in turn, is displaced by the introduction of the new brake fluid, whether it be of the same or different type. The purpose of the intermediate fluid is to flush the contaminated fluid from the system as well as to alter the properties of the contaminated fluid. The use of the intermediate solvent induces a reversal of the phases of the two respective brake fluids by modifying the density of the fluid with which it is mixed.
