Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for evaluating shellcode findings. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, shellcode findings can be evaluated to determine if the shellcode findings are legitimate, or if the shellcode findings are false positive shellcode findings. Legitimate shellcode findings can be determined based not simply upon patterns associated with the suspected shellcode itself, but also based upon a pattern of bit-level entropy in the memory around the suspected shellcode. Mathematical models of the memory can be generated and analyzed to determine if the shellcode finding is legitimate.

Abstract: Most machines in an organization's computer network connect to the Internet and create web traffic logs which allow analysis of HTTP traffic in a simple, centralized way. The web traffic logs may contain error reports and error reports contain significant information that can be used to detect network security. By reviewing the error reports, significant information about a network and its security can be found as common sources of network security weakness may be watched for in the error reports.

Abstract: A system for microwave assisted high-throughput chemical processes is disclosed. The system includes a source of microwave radiation, a microwave cavity in communication with the source, and a microtiter plate in the cavity. The microtiter plate is formed of a microwave transparent material and includes a plurality of sample wells. A fluid chamber is defined by the interior of the four walls, the base, the profiles of the wells, and by the top surface of the microtiter plate. A microwave-moderating fluid in the chamber helps produce a more uniform microwave field among the individual wells in the microtiter plate when microwaves are applied in the cavity from the source.
