  • Patent number: 12682060
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for detecting a malware sample by creating polymorphic variants of a malware sample using a large language model. The technology can obtain a known malware sample and decompose the known malware sample into behavioral characterizations of the known malware sample that correspond to respective processes taken by the known malware sample. The technology can then train a large language model with data corresponding to the behavioral characterizations and generate polymorphic variants of the known malware sample with a large language model based on the behavioral characterizations. When the technology later receives a potential malware sample, it can analyze the potential malware sample by comparing the potential malware sample to the polymorphic variants of the known malware sample generated by the large language model.

  • Patent number: 12657310
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes creating a polymorphic variant of a sample of malware, analyzing the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware by a security management service to determine if the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware evades detection by the security management service, when the security management service fails to detect the polymorphic variant during the analysis of the polymorphic variant, detonating the polymorphic variant in a virtualized environment to identify characterizations of the polymorphic variant, and training the security management service to detect the polymorphic variant based on the characterizations.

  • Publication number: 20250371167
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for enhancing cybersecurity using Large Language Model (LLM)-generated honeypot schemes, the method includes generating a plurality of deceptive information using an LLM, configured to attract and engage potential attackers, where the plurality of deceptive information includes one or more characteristics referencing vulnerabilities of a network, continuously monitoring for interactions initiated by an interacting party with one or more components of the generated deceptive information, where the interaction is identified as a potential threat to the network, in response to detection of an interaction identified as a potential threat, extracting interaction data associated with the interacting party retrieved during the interaction, and retraining the LLM with the interaction data to create more effective honeypots.

  • Publication number: 20230385386
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may be used to create Internet apps and associated websites that bring human-levels of personal trust and intimacy/closeness into use while people are messaging and posting on a fully secured private peer-to-peer Internet communication system empowered by distributed ledger technology and applications. This disclosure reviews useful ways of bringing personal freedom and personal rights using methods that may be objective or subjective using methods that allow users to manage licensing and the fair use of their intellectual property and other information. Meaning an advanced technology that makes manifest the much-needed Enlightenment of the Internet desired by so many thoughtful and concerned people in the US and within the very vocal leadership of the EU. Communications sent between devices may be secured using encrypted such that only users of end devices or nodes may review data sent from another device.

  • Publication number: 20230371715
    Abstract: Various implementations include a counter system. The system includes a countertop portion, a barrier section, and one or more trays. The countertop portion has a front side and a back side. The barrier section is coupled to a bottom side of the countertop portion along the front side of the countertop. The barrier section is configured to support the countertop portion in use. The barrier section defines one or more openings therethrough. Each tray is aligned with one of the one or more openings and slidable relative to the barrier section between a retracted position and an extended position. Each of the trays is closer to the back side of the countertop in the extended position than it is in the retracted position. Each of the trays passes at least partially through its respective opening when sliding between the retracted position and the extended position.
