Abstract: System, devices, and methods facilitate determining positioning using distributed antenna system with service availability monitoring. Positioning methods include network based methods and handset assisted methods in addition to a monitoring system to report any service outage and possible location information loss. The system provides location information also at handset only level through application or apps and operating systems with online and off-line access to location database data. A combined monitoring system that monitors antenna output power for mobile coverage and service availability helps also in monitoring the availability of the localization system and dynamic update of lookup information. Monitoring system provides also asset tracking and service analytics features for the active or passive distributed antenna system.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for detecting a kernel-mode rootkit that hooks the System Service Dispatch Table (SSDT) is secure, avoids false positives, and does not disable security applications. A method for detecting a rootkit comprises the steps of calling a function that accesses a system service directly, receiving results from calling the function that accesses the system service directly, calling a function that accesses the system service indirectly, receiving results from calling the function that accesses the system service indirectly, and comparing the received results from calling the function that accesses the system service directly and the received results from calling the function that accesses the system service indirectly to determine presence of a rootkit.

Abstract: A registry access manager (101) regulates access to executable class registry entities (103). A registry access manager (101) intercepts system calls (107) that access a registry (113). The registry access manager (101) detects attempts by processes (115) to access executable path entities (103) in the registry (113). The registry access manager (101) determines whether a robust, multifaceted security policy permits the attempted access, and blocks or permits the access accordingly.

Abstract: One or more mobility token managers (101) track movement of files (105) within a network. A mobility token manager (101) on a source computer (113) detects an attempt to write a file (105) to a target computer (117). Responsive to the detection, the mobility token manager (101) writes a mobility token (103) containing data concerning at least the file (105) and the write operation to the target computer (117). A mobility token manager (101) on the target computer (117) detects that the mobility token (103) is being written to the target computer (117). The mobility token manager (101) on the target computer (117) reads the mobility token (103), and determines relevant information concerning the file (105) associated with the mobility token (103).

Abstract: A service manager (101) monitors and controls services (111), thereby providing protection against associated security vulnerabilities. The service manager (101) intercepts calls (105) to service related operations made by acting applications (103) and determines which acting application (103) made a specific intercepted call (105) to which target service (111). The service manager (101) then determines and executes an appropriate action based on a system policy (113). The appropriate action can comprise blocking the call (105), thereby preventing execution of service (111) based operations that conflict with the system policy (113).

Abstract: Within the context of a system of networked computers, a remote registry access manager regulates remote registry access. In some embodiments, the remote registry access manager runs on a first computer and detects attempts by processes on the first computer to remotely access a second computer's registry. The remote registry access manager determines whether attempts to remotely access the second computer's registry are legitimate. Legitimacy of a given remote access attempt may be determined based on a number of different criteria, such as whether the first computer and the second computer have an established trust relationship. If a given attempt is indeed determined to be legitimate, the remote registry access manager allows the attempt to proceed. If it is not, then the remote registry access manager blocks the attempt.

Abstract: Behavior blocking mobility token managers track movement of suspicious files within a network. A behavior blocking mobility token manager on a source computer detects an attempt by a process on the source computer to write a file to a target computer. The behavior blocking mobility token manager determines a suspicion level associated with the process, and writes a behavior blocking mobility token containing at least the suspicion level associated with the process to the target computer. A behavior blocking mobility token manager on the target computer detects that a behavior blocking mobility token is being written to the target computer. The behavior blocking mobility token manager reads the behavior blocking mobility token, and determines a suspicion level of the file associated with the behavior blocking mobility token, responsive to contents of the behavior blocking mobility token.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for detecting hidden files and folders that may be installed by or as part of a rootkit provides the capability to identify the method that is used to hide the files and folders, will continue working even if the operating system is modified, and is suitable for real-time detection of hidden files and folders. A method for detecting a rootkit comprises the steps of generating a plurality of query input/output request packets, each query input/output request packet requesting information relating to a file system directory folder, transmitting a generated query input/output request packet to each file system driver object, receiving a result including the requested information relating to a file system directory folder from each file system driver object, and determining differences among each result, to determine information relating to a file system directory folder that is removed by at least one file system driver object.

Abstract: A worm detection manager detects computer worms when they arrive at target computers via open network shares. The worm detection manager monitors incoming file system traffic, and determines the source of incoming files. The worm detection manager determines that an incoming file is infected with a worm, responsive to circumstances such as substantially the same file being written to the target computer by a requisite plurality of computers; substantially the same file being written to the target computer a requisite number of times by the same computer; substantially the same file being written to the target computer a requisite number of times within a requisite time period; and substantially the same file being written to the target computer through a requisite number of open shares.
