Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for detecting potential attacks on a domain, where one or more servers, in response to a failure event, obtain a lambda value from a baseline model of historical data associated with a current time interval corresponding to the failure event, determine a probability of whether a total count of failure events for the current time interval is within an expected range using a cumulative density function based on the lambda value, and identify a possible malicious attack if the probability is less than or equal to a selected alpha value.

Abstract: A vehicle safety-inspection apparatus is for a vehicle having a detectable-identification device fixedly mounted thereto at a predetermined visual inspection point of the vehicle. The vehicle safety-inspection apparatus includes a movable detector configured to detect the presence of the detectable-identification device in response to a user walking around the vehicle and positioning the movable detector proximate to the detectable-identification device during the vehicle safety-inspection of the vehicle. The movable detector is also configured to transmit a detection signal being configured to indicate the presence of the detectable-identification device that was detected. The recording assembly is configured to: (A) receive the detection signal from the detectable-identification device; (B) generate and store a detection-alarm record indicating that the detection signal was received by the recording assembly; and (C) transmit the detection-alarm record that was stored.

Abstract: A web crawler system has an automatic website crawler and a virtual browser that provides script related information to the website crawler. The virtual browser transforms an HTML document included in a web page of the website into an XML document, and builds a document object model containing document objects in a tree structure based on the XML document. The virtual browser extracts from the DOM scripts that are potentially executable, and executes the extracted scripts using a browser object model provided for the virtual browser containing objects and methods and properties that are used for script execution so as to capture script related information generated by execution of the scripts.
