Abstract: The system implements in memory decoys to disrupt the attacker techniques. This has multiple benefits. 1) The attacker is never aware of a decoy present in memory as it is virtually indistinguishable from any regular process on an endpoint. 2) The decoys process also tracks attacker activity from a behavior perspective and predict and preempt the attackers next steps without alerting the attacker. 3) the decoy processes can then provide false information by intercepting the kernel responses to the attackers process and disrupt the attack chain. 4) the decoy processes can also pollute the responses that the attacker is expecting, thereby preventing the attacker from ever achieving execution of the endpoint. 5) The decoy processes also detect the attacker's evasion techniques and adjust accordingly to divert the attacker from ever achieving execution.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supplying primary fuel and secondary fuel to an internal combustion engine may include supplying a first amount of the primary fuel and a second amount of the secondary fuel to the internal combustion engine. The system may include a first manifold to provide primary fuel to the internal combustion engine, and a primary valve associated with the first manifold to provide fluid flow between a primary fuel source and the internal combustion engine. A second manifold may provide secondary fuel to the internal combustion engine, and a fuel pump and/or a secondary valve may provide fluid flow between a secondary fuel source and the internal combustion engine. A controller may determine a total power load, the first amount of primary fuel, and the second amount of secondary fuel to supply to the internal combustion engine to meet the total power load.

Abstract: An example grip safety interlock can include a lower receiver with a trigger assembly, a safety selector having a detent channel, a grip having an internal recess, an extended detent pin having a detent point and an interference abutment surface, a grip safety lever having an interference ledge, and a lever bias spring positioned within the grip, extending between the grip and the grip safety lever. The grip safety lever can be positioned to pivot within the internal recess of the grip, and the extended detent pin can extend within the grip such that the detent point contacts the detent channel of the safety selector. The lever bias spring can push the grip safety lever to a first pivot position such that the interference ledge of the grip safety lever abuts the interference abutment surface of the extended detent pin to prevent movement and rotation of the safety selector.
