Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer readable media, and methods that intelligently provide dynamic transportation modes and corresponding user interfaces to client devices within multi-pickup-location area geofences to satisfy dynamic limitations corresponding to certain alternate location options. For instance, the disclosed systems can provide a transportation option corresponding to a first pickup location for display via the requestor device. Based on determining that the requestor device is associated with a location within a geofence of a multi-pickup-location area, the disclosed systems can provide a selectable mode option for initiating an alternate location transportation mode that includes modifying the pickup location for a transportation request to a second pickup location.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a security device in a computer network detects potential domain generation algorithm (DGA) searching activity using a domain name service (DNS) model to detect abnormally high DNS requests made by a host attempting to locate a command and control (C&C) server in the computer network. The server device also detects potential DGA communications activity based on applying a hostname-based classifier for DGA domains associated with any server internet protocol (IP) address in a data stream from the host. The security device may then correlate the potential DGA searching activity with the potential DGA communications activity, and identifies DGA performing malware based on the correlating, accordingly.

Abstract: Detecting network services based on network flow data is disclosed. Using a networking device, network flow data is obtained for a plurality of endpoints of a telecommunications network. Each endpoint of the plurality of endpoints is uniquely described by data comprising an IP address, a port, and a communication protocol. For each endpoint of a set of at least one endpoint selected from the plurality of endpoints, a plurality of peers of the endpoint is determined by detecting communication between the endpoint and the plurality of peers based on the network flow data. For each peer of a set of peers selected from the plurality of peers, a difference between a number of peers of the endpoint and a number of peers of said each peer is determined based on the network flow data. It is determined if the endpoint is a service based on the difference determined for each peer of the set of peers. Network management is performed based on the determination of whether the endpoint is a service.
