Abstract: This document describes, among other things, a computer-implemented method that can include receiving, from a web server system, web page code to be provided over the internet to a computing device. The web page code can correspond to a particular web page served by the web server system. The method may include generating an intermediate representation of at least a portion of the web page code, and comparing the intermediate representation to a prior intermediate representation of the particular web page. Based on a result of the comparison, the method can include determining what portion of the web page code to analyze for re-coding of the web page code before serving the web page code to the computing device.

Abstract: The automated, real-time detection of specific blocks of code within a larger body of source code is described. Specific implementations relate to the detection of known code libraries in web page code to improve the efficiency of the generation of polymorphic transformations of the web page code for the purpose of impeding automated cyber-attacks.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a computer security server system located between the Internet and a client computing device that makes requests over the Internet, a request for content directed to a particular content server system; forwarding the received request, with the computer security server system, to the particular content server system; receiving code from the particular server system in response to the request; applying a security countermeasure to the received code to created transformed code; providing the transformed code to the client computing device; receiving a communication from the client computing device; and determining that software on the client computing device has attempted to interact with the received code rather than the transformed code.

Abstract: Among other things, this document describes a computer-implemented security method such as for authenticated selection of security countermeasures and for reliable identification of computing devices. The method can include receiving, by a computing system, a request from a computing device for an electronic resource. The computing system can identify a security token received from the device that made the request. Based on the security token, particular security countermeasures can be selected that are to be applied to the electronic resource to be served in response to the request. The countermeasures can be operable to interfere with an ability of malware to interact with the served electronic resource when the served electronic resource is on the computing device. Portions of the electronic resource that are to be executed on the computing device can be re-coded using the selected particular security countermeasures.

Abstract: An API call filtering system filters responses to API call requests received, via a network, from user devices. The API call filtering system is configured to require personalized API call requests wherein each API call (except for some minor exceptions) includes a unique endpoint identifier (“UEID”) of the user device making the request. Using the UEID, the web service or other service protected by the API call filtering system can be secured against excessive request iterations from a set of rogue user devices while allowing for ordinary volumes of requests of requests the user devices, wherein one or more boundaries between what is deemed to be an ordinary volume of requests and what is deemed to be excessive request iterations are determined by predetermined criteria.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes serving, from a computer server system and to a plurality of different computing devices remote from the computer server system, web code and code for reporting status of the computing devices; receiving from one or more of the computing devices, first data that indicates a parameter of the one or more computing devices, the first data in a compressed format; receiving from one or more others of the computing devices, second data that indicates the parameter of the one or more others of the computing devices, the second data in an uncompressed format; and compressing the second data and comparing the compressed second data to the first data to correlate the first data to the second data. The code for reporting status of the computing devices can include code for allowing the computing devices to determine whether to send the first or second data.

The method may serve the modified and supplemented computer code to the computing client.

Abstract: A code finder system deployed as a software module, a web service or as part of a larger security system, identifies and processes well-formed code sequences. For a data flow that is expected to be free of executable or interpreted code, or free of one or more known styles of executable or interpreted code, the code finder system can protect participants in the communications network. Examples of payload carried by data flows that can be monitored include, but are not limited to, user input data provided as part of interacting with a web application, data files or entities, such as images or videos, and user input data provided as part of interacting with a desktop application.
