Abstract: A computer-implemented method for securing access to kernel devices may include (1) identifying a context proxy privileged to access a secure device interface for a device, (2) receiving a request from the context proxy to allow a user-mode process to access a non-secure device interface for the device, (3) receiving a request from the user-mode process to access the non-secure device interface, and then (4) allowing the user-mode process to access the non-secure device interface directly based on the request from the context proxy. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprising detecting a resolution of an internet address to a first computing-device address, the internet address being associated with a first domain. The method may also comprise storing a domain-name record, the domain-name record associating the internet address with the first computing-device address. The method may comprise using the domain-name record to bind the first domain to the first computing-device address and preventing, until a request to leave the first domain is detected, the first domain from being rebound to a second computing-device address. Systems and computer-readable media for addressing DNS rebinding are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for detecting malicious computer applications. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether a communication is attempting to occur, wherein the communication is associated with a first application. It is also determined whether there is a second application associated with the first application; and also determined whether the second application is trusted.
