Patent number: 10229274Abstract: The disclosed principles describe systems and methods for assessing the security posture of a target device, wherein the assessment is performed by a scanning computer in communication with the target device via a communication network. By employing a system or method in accordance with the disclosed principles, distinct advantages are achieved. Specifically, conducting such a remote scan allows for the scanner computer to perform a remote scan of the remote device without installing client software to the remote device. Thus, the disclosed principles reduce the need for internal IT resources to manage the deployment and updates of client software on the target device. Also, conducting a remote scan according to the disclosed principles allows for the remote scan to be performed even if the scanner computer and remote device run different operating systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Qualys, Inc.Inventors: Wolfgang Kandek, Holger Kruse, Tigran Gevorgyan, Gregor Glawitsch, Parminder Singh, Kenneth K.

Patent number: 6772334Abstract: A system and a method for preventing a spoofed denial of service attack in a networked computing environment is described. A hierarchical protocol stack is defined. The hierarchical protocol stack includes a plurality of communicatively interfaced protocol layers with at least one session-oriented protocol layer. A packet requesting a session with the session-oriented protocol layer is received from the networked computing environment. The request packet includes headers containing a source address of uncertain trustworthiness. The request packet is acknowledged by performing the following operations. First, a checksum is calculated from information included in the request packet headers. A request acknowledgement packet is generated. The request acknowledgement packet includes headers containing the checksum as a pseudo sequence number and the source address in the request packet headers as a destination address. Finally, the request acknowledgement packet is sent into the networked computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Networks Associates, Inc.Inventor: Gregor A.
