Abstract: A method in a cloud-based security system includes operating a Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, proxy, or monitor in the cloud-based security system; receiving DNS records with time-to-live (TTL) parameters; checking the TTL parameters for indication of a fast flux technique; and detecting domains performing the fast flux technique based on the DNS records. A cloud-based security system includes a plurality of nodes communicatively coupled to one or more users; and a Domain Name System (DNS) service providing a resolution service, proxy, or monitor in the cloud-based security system; wherein the DNS service is configured to receive DNS records with time-to-live (TTL) parameters; check the TTL parameters for indication of a fast flux technique; and detect domains performing the fast flux technique based on the DNS records.

Abstract: A consumer is able to negotiate directly with a merchant through the user's computing device by simply selecting a button or link. When the consumer or user locates an item of interest, the user may see a “Negotiate” or similar button or link displayed with the item and price, along with a “Purchase” or similar button. The “Negotiate” button indicates to the user that the seller or merchant is willing to negotiate a price on the item. The user can submit a proposed price, receive a counter-offer, propose a new price, purchase the item, place the item on a wish list, and/or posting a purchase or “like” to a social network or other site.

Abstract: A method for automatically processing electronic customer orders for configurable products. In one embodiment, a web site that is operable to access a vendor ordering application receives a user who is electronically transferred from a web site or computer that is operable to access an electronic procurement application. Next, the vendor ordering application allows creation of an electronically placed order for a configurable product. The vendor ordering application determines whether any product is configured properly; however, the order will be allowed to proceed even if all the required order processing information is not yet provided. The vendor ordering application then transfers an electronic copy of the incomplete order to the electronic procurement application. Next, the vendor application receives an approval for the order, along with the rest of the required order information. At this point, the vendor application checks to see if the purchase order information is complete and valid.
