  • Computer security vulnerability assessment
    Patent number: 11522901
    Abstract: A system receives binary data and first identification data. The binary data includes hashes of strings of bits, bytes, words or characters. The system receives vulnerability data and second identification data. The system determines a correspondence between the binary data and the vulnerability data based on matching the first identification data with the second identification data. The vulnerability data includes a country of origin for a product identified by the second identification data. The system generates a binaries-to-vulnerabilities database. The system scans target binary data from a target device to to find matches between the target binary data and the binary data using the binaries-to-vulnerabilities database. The system determines a known security vulnerability based on the results of the scanning and the correspondence between the binary data and the vulnerability data. The known security vulnerability includes the country of origin for the product in the target device.
