Abstract: A risk assessment tool generates a likelihood score based on an expertise score, acquisition capability score, fundability score, disclosure sufficiency score, and interest score. The likelihood score indicates how likely that technology will be used or adopted by the adverse party in a way that is harmful to a protected party. An impact severity scoring engine generates an impact severity score based on an impact to national security score, impact to national economy score, and strategic importance score. The impact severity score indicates a severity of impact to the protected party when the adverse party implements the target technology. A risk scoring engine generates a risk threshold curve on a graph and determines the overall risk score based on a risk threshold. The risk assessment tool issues a secrecy order when the risk score is above the risk threshold, and sends a communication to the author or publisher.

Abstract: A vulnerability assessment tool that is operative to analyze web sites by simultaneously operating a crawling process and an audit process. Once the crawling process is invoked, the results are provided to the audit process. The audit process, rather than waiting until the crawl process is completed, simultaneously audits the web site based on the already provided crawl results. The results of the audit are also fed back to the crawl process to further enhance the crawl.

Abstract: A crawler that is either based on an interactive mode of operation or includes an interactive mode along with one or more other modes, such as automatic or manual. Similar to an automatic mode crawler, the crawler traverses web sites, web content and links. However, if the crawler encounters a structure that requires human interaction, such as a form, a radio button selector, a drop down selector, a human verification test, etc., the crawler pauses and prompts a user to take action.
