  • Patent number: 12225030
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Metrics may be determined based on monitoring network traffic associated with a plurality of entities each associated with a profile that includes the metrics for each entity. Beaconing metrics associated with beaconing activity may be determined based on the metrics. The profile of each entity may be compared with the beaconing metrics to determine the entities that may be engaged in beaconing activity. The entities may be characterized based on beaconing activity such that the beaconing activity includes communication with endpoints associated with the third parties, employing communication protocols associated with the third-parties, or exchanging payloads consistent with the beaconing activity. Reports that include information associated with the entities and its beaconing activity may be generated.

  • Publication number: 20220043032
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for non-intrusive measurement of a cable with multiple conductors include plates that form capacitive couplings with the conductors within the cable. The plates can be placed outside the cable, adjacent to one of the conductors within the cable. The capacitive couplings allow AC voltages within the cable to create currents that flow between the plates. These currents are measured and used to calculate the line voltages on the conductors within the cable.
