  • Patent number: 12231455
    Abstract: A network vulnerability scanning system scans a target device for vulnerabilities to obtain initial network connection data for the target device via a first network interface of the target device, the initial network connection data identifying an initial network connection between the target device and a first hidden network system. The network vulnerability scanning system installs a network scanning application on the target device subsequent to scanning the target device for vulnerabilities to obtain the initial network connection data. The network vulnerability system scans the first hidden network system for vulnerabilities via the network scanning application.

  • Publication number: 20240179172
    Abstract: A network vulnerability scanning system scans a target device for vulnerabilities to obtain network connection data for the target device. The network vulnerability scanning system determines the network connection data includes a network connection between the target device and a hidden network system. The network vulnerability scanning system installs a network scanning application on the target device in response to determining the network connection data includes the network connection between the target device and the hidden network system. The network vulnerability scanning system scans the hidden network system for vulnerabilities via the network scanning application installed on the target device.

  • Publication number: 20240168976
    Abstract: A set of computing nodes that compose a container orchestration computing cluster are identified. A set of taints that are associated with the set of computing nodes are identified, wherein each taint in the set of taints prohibits scheduling of a container group, which is defined by a container group specification that does not meet a condition defined by the taint, on a computing node associated with the taint. A first container group specification that meets the condition defined by each taint is generated, wherein the first container group specification identifies a container image. The container group, via the first container group specification, is caused to be deployed on each computing node in the set of computing nodes that has an associated taint.

  • Patent number: 11743242
    Abstract: Establishing an encrypted communications channel without prior knowledge of an encryption key is disclosed. A gateway router device receives, from a server device via an intermediate modem device, a first secret key code for use in establishing an encrypted communications channel between the gateway router device and the modem device. The gateway router device makes an attempt to establish the encrypted communications channel with the modem device using a pre-shared key that is based on the first secret key code. The gateway router device determines that the attempt to establish the encrypted communications channel has either succeeded or failed. The gateway router device, in response to determining that the attempt to establish the encrypted communications channel has either succeeded or failed, performs a success action or performs a failure action.
