  • Patent number: 11979249
    Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

  • Patent number: 11973631
    Abstract: Within a domain such as a data center, host server activity monitors running on storage nodes observe meaningful commands sent by host servers to the storage nodes. Inactivity indicated by failure of any of the activity monitors to receive a meaningful command from a host server within a predetermined time limit prompts generation of a message that identifies that host server as possibly being unused. The host server activity monitors are also configured to identify as a possible unused host server any host server that is zoned for at least one of the storage nodes but not masked to any storage objects. If a quiescent host server becomes active, as indicated by resumption of sending meaningful commands to one of the storage nodes, then a message warning of a potential malicious attack is generated.

  • Patent number: 11968270
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for receiving media content based on the user media preferences. An example implementation includes a one or more servers receiving data representing a guest list for an upcoming event corresponding to a first user account, the guest list indicating multiple guests corresponding to respective second user accounts of a second cloud service and querying one or more streaming media services for music preferences corresponding to the multiple guests. The one or more servers receive, from the one or more streaming media services, data representing respective music preferences corresponding to the multiple guests and generate a playlist of audio tracks based on the received respective music preferences corresponding to the multiple guests. During the event, the server(s) cause the playlist to be queued in a playback queue for playback by one or more playback devices of a particular media playback system registered with the first user account.

  • Patent number: 11966470
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computer system for detecting and preventing distributed data exfiltration attacks. The computer system calculates historical usage statistics for a service, instances of the service, and clients requesting the instances, generates a baseline of normal usage activities for the clients and the instances based on the historical usage statistics, monitors current activities of the clients to build signatures of queries by the clients and signatures of the instances, and correlates the signatures to determine whether a data exfiltration attack is in progress. In response to determining that the data exfiltration attack is in progress, the computer system increases one or more risk scores corresponding to the data exfiltration attack. In response to determining that the one or more risk scores and an overall risk score of the service exceed a predetermined threshold, the computer system generates an alert of the data exfiltration attack.

  • Patent number: 11902240
    Abstract: Network devices that are inserted inline into network links and process in-transit packets may significantly improve their packet-throughput performance by not assigning L3 IP addresses and L2 MAC addresses to their network interfaces and thereby process packets through a logical fast path that bypasses the slow path through the operating system kernel. When virtualizing such Bump-In-The-Wire (BITW) devices for deployment into clouds, the network interfaces must have L3 IP and L2 MAC addresses assigned to them. Thus, packets are processed through the slow path of a virtual BITW device, significantly reducing the performance. By adding new logic to the virtual BITW device and/or configuring proxies, addresses, subnets, and/or routing tables, a virtual BITW device can process packets through the fast path and potentially improve performance accordingly. For example, the virtual BITW device may be configured to enforce a virtual path (comprising the fast path) through the virtual BITW device.

  • Patent number: 11888678
    Abstract: This application provides a configuration error information transmission method and a device. When generating a plurality of pieces of configuration error information after configuring a batch of configuration parameter groups, a user plane network element may report the configuration error information to a control plane network element based on reporting priorities of the configuration error information. According to embodiments, reporting can be performed based on the reporting priorities of the configuration error information. In this way, a user or the control plane network element can configure, by configuring the reporting priorities, an order of precedence of the configuration error information to be reported by the user plane network element.
