  • Publication number: 20140283036
    Abstract: An example method for mitigating JIT spraying attacks in a network environment is provided and includes protecting an output of a just-in-time (JIT) compiler against attacks during application execution at least by intervening from outside the application into a JIT page generated by the JIT compiler in a memory element of a host. In a specific embodiment, the intervening can include rewriting the JIT page. In specific embodiments, the method can further include generating a shadow page corresponding to the JIT page in the memory element. The method can further include randomly choosing at least one block of instructions in the JIT page, moving the at least one block of instructions to the shadow page, and replacing the at least one block of instructions in the JIT page with at least one of invalid opcodes and halt instructions.

  • Patent number: 8787309
    Abstract: AP's associated with a communication network and any wireless devices desiring contact, operated according to a protocol in which each wireless device selects AP's with which to communicate. A system coordinator causes the AP's to operate so as to guide each wireless device to an AP selected by the system coordinator. This has the effect that, notwithstanding that the protocol involves having the wireless device make the selection of AP, functionally, the AP's make the selection for it. In a 1st technique, multiple AP's share an identifier, with the system coordinator directing one particular AP to respond to the wireless device, thus appearing to wireless devices as a “personal cell”. In a 2nd technique, AP's each maintain identifiers substantially unique to each wireless device, with the system coordinator directing only one particular AP to maintain any particular wireless device's identifier, thus appearing to wireless devices as a “personal AP”.

  • Publication number: 20120307792
    Abstract: Uplink medium access control on per-wireless device level. An access point sends a beacon frame to a wireless device. The beacon frame includes a BSSID that is unique to the wireless device. The beacon frame also includes embedded uplink configurations specifying uplink medium access for the wireless device. In one embodiment, a controller recognizes a device or user associated with the device, and sends corresponding uplink configurations for embedding in a subsequent beacon frame.

  • Publication number: 20080096733
    Abstract: A liquid-fillable heavy training bag includes a cylindrical flexible outer shell having top and bottom walls to form a generally closed cylindrical inner surface. Suitable support is provided for suspending the cylindrical outer shell from an upper support member, such as a ceiling. A generally cylindrical liquid-impermeable flexible liner is provided within the outer shell for receiving and containing a liquid medium such as water. The liner is configured and dimensioned to generally conform to the shape of the inner surface of the outer shell when the liner is fully expanded, such as when filled with water. An intermediate layer is provided made of compressible material and arranged between and contacting the outer shell and the liner when the liner is filled with liquid.

  • Patent number: 7127712
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a code release infrastructure with granular code patching is described. Code patches, each including at least one resource unit are provided. Each resource unit includes metadata and file components. Code libraries, each including at least one resource unit, are patched. The metadata for each resource unit in the code patches is compared to the metadata for each such corresponding resource unit in the code libraries. Each resource unit in the code patches is merged into the code libraries for each such corresponding resource unit that is out-of-date as defined by merge rules. Archive files, as defined by archive file definitions, are created or updated using the resource units from the code libraries, or, optionally, are deleted. The archive files are digitally signed also as required. The system and method enables source and derived code and third party code to be patched granularly.
