Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for extracting custom content from network packets. During operation, the system receives a stream of packets. The system then parses packets in the stream to determine a protocol for each packet. Next, the system applies a custom-content-extraction rule to each packet associated with a target protocol to obtain the extracted content. Then, the system stores the extracted content in events in a data store to facilitate subsequent queries involving the extracted content.

Abstract: A virtualization server may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to operate a virtual session controller configured to assign virtual sessions to a plurality of different client devices. Each virtual session may be running on a virtual machine from among a plurality of different virtual machines and having a respective user profile associated therewith stored at a cloud computing service, and the cloud computing service may be distributed over a plurality of different geographic locations and configured to store the user profiles and backups thereof at different geographic locations.

Abstract: An email verification system is described. The email verification system stores names and associated email addresses. An email is received that has a sender name and a sender email address. If the email verification system determines that the sender name matches a stored name but the sender email address does not match with an email address associated with the stored name, the email is prevented from being transmitted to its recipient unless the email is verified as being legitimate. The email verification system transmits a request to verify the email via a configured verification method. If a response is received that verifies the email as legitimate, the email is delivered; otherwise the email is blocked.

Abstract: The present application relates to embodiments for detecting firewall drift.

First connectivity data and second connectivity data may be generated indicating, for each of IP address associated with the first and second set of firewall rules, a respective port number over which communications between a respective IP address are transmitted, and generating comparison data indicating whether firewall drift is detected based on a comparison of the first connectivity data and the second connectivity data.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems, and methods of pre-loading (or caching) activatable content to several mobile devices for future use by at least one of the mobile devices. The mobile devices are communicatively coupled with each other to form a distribute storage network. The pre-loaded content can be used by applications executed in any one of the mobile devices within the network. A content server is configured to transmit portions of the content to the mobile devices upon detection that a subset of conditions within the multi-conditional content activation criteria has been satisfied. The content server is configured to transmit the entire content when all conditions within the multi-conditional content activation criteria has been satisfied. The content server then activates the content when a content activation event is detected.
