Patent number: 9686283Abstract: Embodiments are directed to using a hash signature of a rendered DOM object of a website to find similar content and behavior on other websites. Embodiments break a DOM into a large number of data portions (i.e., “shingles”), apply a hashing algorithm to the shingles, select a predetermined number of hashes from the hashed shingles according to a selection criteria to create a hash signature, and compare the hash signature to that of a reference page to determine similarity of website DOM object content. Embodiments can be used to identify phishing websites, defaced websites, spam websites, significant changes in the content of a webpage, copyright infringement, and any other suitable purposes related to the similarity between website DOM object content.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: RiskIQ, Inc.Inventors: Adam Hunt, David Pon, Chris Kiernan, Ben Adams, Jonas Edgeworth, Elias Manousos, Joseph Linn

Publication number: 20170136649Abstract: A waterjet safety enclosure formed by walls using a detection device or light curtain to detect unsafe conditions. The waterjet safety enclosure walls can be used in new work areas or retrofitted and shaped to fit existing work areas. The waterjet safety enclosure walls may form a partial or complete perimeter about a work area and may be adjustable or mobile. The waterjet safety enclosure wall detects unsafe conditions when a high pressure stream of water from a waterjet cutting machine approaches, contacts or penetrates the waterjet safety enclosure wall. The detection device detects the high pressure stream of water and sends a signal to a controller to stop the operation of the waterjet cutting machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Richard Ralph WARD, Ben ADAMS, Christopher Indermuhle

Publication number: 20170099319Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to identifying phishing websites by rendering and analyzing document object model (DOM) objects associated with a website for features that indicate phishing behavior. Embodiments analyze the full scope and functionality associated with a website by executing functions embedded in a DOM object before analyzing the website for phishing activity. Accordingly, embodiments render and analyze a fully executed DOM object for phishing behavior. Embodiments may then perform steps to mediate a website that is classified as performing phishing. Thus, embodiments are configured to (1) collect website information from a variety of websites and web servers connected to the internet, (2) analyze the collected data to determine whether the web site information is performing phishing, and (3) mediate websites and other actors that are determined to be performing phishing based on the results of the phishing analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2016Publication date: April 6, 2017Applicant: RISKIQ, Inc.Inventors: Adam Hunt, David Pon, Chris Kiernan, Ben Adams, Jonas Edgeworth, Elias Manousos

Publication number: 20160112284Abstract: A method includes receiving a seed at a computing device. The method further includes identifying, based on first domain name system (DNS) data, first border gateway protocol (BGP) data, first whois data, or a combination thereof, a plurality of first internet-facing assets related to the seed. The method further includes identifying, based on second DNS data, second BGP data, second whois data, or a combination thereof, a plurality of second internet-facing assets related to at least one of the first internet-facing assets. The method further includes generating a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a list of internet-facing assets related to the seed, where the list includes the plurality of first internet-facing assets and the plurality of second internet-facing assets.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2014Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: David K.

Patent number: 6749392Abstract: A quick connect/disconnect tank lifting brace which lifts a tank from an overhang of it's top lid or cover. The brace includes a crossbar, preferably adjustable, with pivotal end clamps at opposite ends of the crossbar. A pair of clamp pivoting assemblies are provided. Each clamp pivoting assembly pivots a respective one of the pivotal end clamps between an open position and a closed position and biases the pivotal end clamp to an open position for quick connection and disconnection. Pivoting is accomplished using an actuating rod parallel to the crossbar and coupled to the pair of pivoting assemblies. Articulation of the actuating rod effectuates, in unison, pivoting of each pair of pivot arms via the pivoting assemblies to a closed position. The pivoting assemblies generally utilize a push to close and pull to open motions.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2001Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Inventors: Ben A. Adams, Chris G. Cooper

Patent number: 6581859Abstract: A drilling fluid homogenizer and method of homogenizing drilling fluid which produce a non-clogging homogenized drilling fluid at a high throughput, in an open-loop process. The non-clogging homogenized drilling fluid is capable of being created at high rate so that the non-clogging homogenized drilling fluid is available on demand to eliminate halting of drilling operations. The drilling fluid homogenizer is coupled in series with the closed-loop designed drilling fluid system and is adapted to homogenize water-based drilling fluid and other drilling fluid types, such as, synthetic drilling fluid during drilling operations on demand.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Diamond Tank Rentals, Inc.Inventors: Ben A.
