  • Patent number: 10037266
    Abstract: A system and method of fuzz testing an on-line gaming system includes a host test bench system capable of generating a protocol template that can be used for identifying primitives in the data communications between a client device and the online gaming servers. The protocol template can then be used to identify primitives in initial communications between the client device and the online gaming servers and perform generation fuzz testing of those initial communications. The system also includes a game stream interceptor that can intercept streaming online gaming data in both directions between the client device and the online gaming system. The intercepted streaming online gaming data can be mutated to test the client device and the servers in the online gaming system.

  • Patent number: 8935216
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically cloning or migrating a computing appliance while maintaining its operational state. A configuration bundle that includes configuration data, software revision level and a list of system updates is used to recover or duplicate a device's operation state. The system and method can also be utilized to migrate a computing appliance between different operating system while maintaining or replicating the previous operational state.

  • Patent number: 8887263
    Abstract: A firewall cluster system comprises a first node operable to receive a connection in a firewall cluster having three or more nodes, determine user data associated with the connection, and share the user data with at least another node in the firewall cluster.

  • Publication number: 20130152156
    Abstract: A firewall cluster comprises three or more firewall processing nodes, at least one of which is operable to establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) network connection. A node is further operable to share VPN state information with two or more receiving nodes by sending broadcast message to the two or more nodes. Shared VPN state information in various embodiments includes encryption keys for a VPN session or security policy information identifying what data should encrypted. Shared VPN state information is used to route VPN connections traffic to a primary node, or to provide for reassignment of VPN processing in the firewall for load balancing or failover.
