Abstract: The present invention provides a program, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method which can effectively prevent malware attacks. A predetermined process is judged as a ransomware, when a first condition that a file read function for reading a file included in a same file path as a file path written by a file write function called from the predetermined process has been already called from the predetermined process; and a second condition that the file write function rewrites a header of a file of the file path: are satisfied. A predetermined process is judged as a ransomware, when a first condition that an actual file on a disk is mapped as a virtual file on a memory by the predetermined process; a second condition that the virtual file is unmapped by the predetermined process; and a third condition that a file structure of the actual file or the virtual file when unmapping is rewritten to inappropriate status: are satisfied.
Abstract: Described herein are devices and techniques for remotely controlling user access to a restricted computer resource. The process includes obtaining an image from equipment of a user, wherein the image includes an indication of an individual and an indication of a local environment. The individual is identified within the image to obtain an identification of the individual, and the local environment is determined as a predetermined local environment based on the identification of the local environment. Access to a restricted computing resource is facilitated based on the determining that the individual is the user and that the local environment is the predetermined local environment. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for detecting potential attacks on a domain, where one or more servers, in response to a failure event, obtain a lambda value from a baseline model of historical data associated with a current time interval corresponding to the failure event, determine a probability of whether a total count of failure events for the current time interval is within an expected range using a cumulative density function based on the lambda value, and identify a possible malicious attack if the probability is less than or equal to a selected alpha value.
