  • Detection of code injection attacks
    Patent number: 9213807
    Abstract: A method for detecting foreign code injected into a computer system including a processor and memory, the processor being configured to execute instructions stored in the memory, includes: detecting, on the computer system, an illegal instruction error; recording the illegal instruction error; determining whether a threshold condition is met; and generating an alert if the threshold condition is met.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 4, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2015
    Assignee: RAYTHEON CYBER PRODUCTS, LLC
    Inventors: Robert Martz, David Matthews, Joshua Edmison, Greg Vorsanger
  • Distributed application execution in a heterogeneous processing system
    Patent number: 9158584
    Abstract: A method for distributing execution of a computer program to a plurality of hardware architectures of different types including: analyzing the computer program to identify a plurality of execution boundaries; selecting one or more execution boundaries from the plurality of execution boundaries; linking the computer program to the selected one or more execution boundaries; executing the computer program with linked execution boundaries; saving a hardware agnostic state of the execution of the computer program, when the execution encounters a boundary from the selected one or more execution boundaries; and transmitting the hardware agnostic state to a remote hardware architecture to be executed on the remote hardware architecture, responsive to the hardware agnostic state.
