Abstract: A method for emulating devices communicating over one or more networks includes intercepting and recording protocols used in communications between real network devices and statistically analyzing the recorded protocols. The method further includes developing, based on the statistical analysis, a behavioral specification for at least one master honeypot. In some examples, the development of the behavioral specification includes generating a Markov chain based on the statistical analysis, which is used to guide the probabilistic selection of properties of packets to be sent from the at least one master honeypot to at least one remote monkey honeypot. Each packet includes an unencrypted header and an encrypted payload, and each encrypted payload includes a response specification to be executed by the at least one remote monkey honeypot upon receipt of the packet from the at least one master honeypot.

Abstract: A battery cartridge and kiosk apparatus, system and method, which enables consumers to conveniently exchange depleted rechargeable batteries for fully-charged batteries, and to recycle used primary batteries. The system includes a self-contained, typically automated kiosk designed for high volume battery exchange at low cost, and also includes re-usable battery trays for convenient, safe, and standardized handling and transport of rechargeable consumer batteries. A kiosk of the invented system may also be configured to utilize renewable-energy mechanisms to provide power for operation and/or recharging. Rechargeable batteries are stored and managed in a high-density, simple yet reliable storage rack wherein they are recharged in parallel while preserving long battery life. Batteries may be “keyed” to prevent recharging via third-party charging devices, enabling operating efficiencies and cost reductions.
