Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to a network security system. The network security system intercepts inline DNS requests. It is determined whether a domain name associated with one of the inline DNS requests corresponds with one or more domain names. A security action is performed based on the determination.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing execution of malware in a computing device. The method includes loading code into a non-executable memory of the computing device and validating an authentication signature associated with the code. Subsequently, the code is decrypted and finally, the decrypted code is executed in an executable memory upon a determination that the authentication signature is valid.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods which provide for scanning of information, such as characters or symbols, without requiring a controlled scan velocity. Preferred embodiments utilize an optical sensor in detecting attributes of information scanned and implement compensation techniques to remediate the effects of distortion and present information which may be identified to a high level of confidence. A known topology may be relied upon to present known markers in the scanned information, such as known blank or filled regions, patterns, or other observable traits and utilized with respect to a distorted scanned image to compensate for the effects of the distortion. Additionally or alternatively, vector based pattern recognition may be utilized in remediating distortion of a scanned image.
