  • Patent number: 12105851
    Abstract: A system hash for each production system is generated. Each system hash includes a concatenation of a hardware hash and a software hash of each production system in the datacenter. A datacenter hash tree is created based on a combination of the system hashes. A test copy of the software hash of each of the production systems is created in respective test systems in the datacenter. In response to detecting a change in the datacenter hash tree, a modification in a system hash which resulted in the change is identified. The central copy of the software hash is compared with the test copy of the software hash. In response to a mismatch between the central copy and the test copy, occurrence of an unauthorized attack in a software of the production system is detected.

  • Patent number: 12079337
    Abstract: In the embodiments described herein, a malicious code detection module identifies potentially malicious instructions in memory of a computing device. The malicious code detection module examines the call stack for each thread running within the operating system of the computing device. Within each call stack, the malicious code detection module identifies the originating module for each stack frame and determines whether the originating module is backed by an image on disk. If an originating module is not backed by an image on disk, the thread containing that originating module is flagged as potentially malicious, execution of the thread optionally is suspended, and an alert is generated for the user or administrator.
