  • Patent number: 10146810
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing data from a plurality of computer environments. The computer environments are authenticated and data is imported to a memory location. The data is converted into a uniform format to enable expedited searching by one or more authenticated users. The data may be marked so that a user may determine which computer environment provided the data. The system may also create one or more indexes of the data to assist one or more users in searching the data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2018
    Assignee: FireEye, Inc.
    Inventors: Jason Shiffer, Matthew Frazier, Sean Cunningham, Scott Hogsten, Eric Helvey, James Butler, Peter Villadsen
  • Patent number: 9690935
    Abstract: A method to identify character strings associated with potentially malicious software items. The method includes employing a visual algorithm to translate one or more characters of a character string into corresponding characters in a visual ID for use in grouping and comparing computer items having similar visual IDs, such as a reference ID for a computer item that is known to be non-malicious. The method may, among other things, elucidate an attacker's attempt to obfuscate malicious software by using file names that are very similar to those used for harmless files.

  • Patent number: 8793278
    Abstract: A system and method for searching for computer environments, authenticating the computer environments, and copying data from the authenticated computer environments to a memory location. The data is marked or bound to the computer system it was copied from which provides a user with assurance that the data was obtained from a specific, authenticated source. The computer environments and the memory location may be coupled over a network.
