Abstract: Identification, characterization and attribution of executable content within and across an enterprise infrastructure (e.g., hosts, subnets, routers, etc.) to provide situational awareness for cyber security for purposes of supporting proactive defense and response. Copies of executable content collected at one or more locations within an infrastructure (e.g., hosts, network edges, etc.) may be passed to a central analysis server whereby various characteristics of the executable content may be extracted or gleaned from the copies such as author marks (e.g., directory names), tool marks (e.g., compiler settings), behaviors (e.g., function extraction), patterns (e.g., byte sequences), text, and/or the like. The characteristics may be analyzed in various manners to build profiles of actors or organizations associated with (e.g., responsible for) executable content within the enterprise infrastructure.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a network interface device for use in an electronic device. The network interface device includes multiple systems and can be configured to perform multiple levels of security functions. In an example, the network interface device includes a first system and a second system. The first system includes a first interface configured to couple the first system with a host system of the electronic device, a second interface configured to couple the first system with an external electronic device, and first integrated circuits configured to monitor and filter traffic flowing between the external electronic device and the host system of the electronic device. The second system includes second integrated circuits. The network interface device also includes a communication channel between the first system and the second system. The second system is configured to send control information to and receive status information from the first system via the communication channel.

Abstract: A method, a network node, and a set of instructions are disclosed. A network interface 260 may have a precedent network address to represent the network node 104 in the network 100. A processor 210 may recognize an address hop trigger. The processor 210 may change to a successor network address to represent the network node 104 in the network 100.

Abstract: Fractionated plant extracts, particularly essentially nicotine-free tobacco extracts, useful as tobacco flavorants and methods for preparing and using the same are described herein. These fractionated extracts are stable, non-volatile and relatively odorless under conditions of smoking article or smoking substitute article manufacture and storage, but when thermally provoked, the extracts deliver characteristic flavor to smoking articles or smoking substitute articles. The fractionated plant extracts may be prepared by contacting plant matter with a solvent to produce a crude plant extract; removing the solvent from this plant extract; and isolating a fraction of this extract that when thermally provoked provides the characteristic aroma and flavor of the plant by size exclusion chromatography and monitoring the fraction's integrity by suitable detection means.

Abstract: The sensory effect of cigarette smoke is improved by using a disc (24) to shape the flow of smoke (32) leaving smoking article (10) into a divergent pattern, thus increasing the perceived flavor of the cigarette. The effect is most useful with cigarettes having relatively low delivery of particulate matter.
