Abstract: The technology described herein uses data in certificate transparency (CT) logs to identify security certificates that are likely to be used for phishing or brand violation. The technology described uses machine vision technology to analyze the domain name in a CT log as a user would view it. The domain name in the CT log is rendered as it might appear in a web browser's address bar. The rendered domain name is then converted to a text string using optical character recognition (OCR). The text string generated by OCR is then analyzed by a brand detection system to determine whether the text string matches a brand name. When a known brand is detected, a trust analysis is performed to determine whether the security certificate in the CT log is actually associated with the brand.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for recovering a password including, for each possible password to be tested, generating a periodicity unit based on a number of symbols in the password and a size of a chunk used by a one-way function to encrypt the password. The periodicity unit is substantially shorter than an input string, that includes replicated actual password used to encrypt the password. Based on the periodicity unit, using the one-way function, generating a control value for the periodicity unit. The control value is tested for a match with a control value generated from the actual password. An indication of a match is provided to a user.

Abstract: An algorithm for recovering a key used to produce a cyphertext-plaintext pair includes (a) loading at least a portion of a probabilistic key table into memory; (b) distributing the keys in the portion of the probabilistic key table into a first plurality of buffer files that are in RAM.
