Abstract: Data is received that comprises or characterizes an executable and dynamic linked library (DLL). Features are then extracted from the executable and DLL. The extracted features are input into at least one machine learning model to generate a suspiciousness score. The machine learning model can be trained to determine whether the executable file comprises ransomware. An execution chain of trust score for the executable and DLL can later be determined based on the extracted features and the suspiciousness score. This execution chain of trust score for the executable and DLL characterizes one or more associated parent processes. This suspiciousness score and the execution chain of trust score can be used to determine whether or not to initiate one or more ransomware countermeasures. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for discovering neighboring candidate access points. A neighbor-probe request is sent from a station to a serving AP (access point) requesting probe-response information. The neighbor-probe request is a management frame that includes a multi-link element indicating what information is included in the probe-response information that is requested for one or more neighboring APs of the serving AP. The serving AP collects the probe-response information in accordance with the multi-link element and using backhaul communications that do not interfere with wireless communications between the station and the serving AP. The serving AP sends to the station a neighbor-probe response that includes the probe-response information. Before sending the probe-response information, the serving AP can filter the probe-response information, e.g., based on BPCC information received from the station or based on the neighboring APs being on a same floor as the station or serving AP.
