Patent number: 10474521Abstract: A system includes: at least one processor running instances of two or more services. Instances of a first service are dependent upon instances of a second service. A fault-injection manager, based on data in a service directory indicative of dependencies of services of the system, determines a fault-inducing condition to inject into the system and injects the fault-inducing condition into the system. A health monitoring manager detects failures in the system and identifies the first service as vulnerable to the fault-inducing condition when the fault-inducing condition causes an instance of the second service to fail.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chetan Pentam Raghavendra, Dmitri A. Klementiev, Varun Jain, Michail Zervos, Dhruv Gakkhar, Satya Sudha Kolluru, Lenina Devi Thangavel

Patent number: 10467126Abstract: A system determines a topology of a distributed system and determines, based on the topology, one or more injection points in the distributed system to inject failure scenarios. Each failure scenario including one or more faults and parameters for each of the faults. The system prioritizes the failure scenarios and injects a failure scenario from the prioritized failure scenarios into the distributed system via the one or more injection points. The system determines whether the injected failure scenario causes a response of the distributed system to fall below a predetermined level. The system determines resiliency of the distributed system to one or more faults in the injected failure scenario based on whether the injected failure scenario causes the response of the distributed system to fall below the predetermined level.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dinko Papak, Michail Zervos, Dmitri A.

Patent number: 9747153Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to creating a service directory of dependencies for services running on a system, wherein instances of a first service are dependent upon instances of a second service. The directory of dependencies comprises metadata associated with connections between the services. The system injects faults targeting all levels of the dependencies. The system is monitored to detect failures created by the faults. The injected faults are selected from transport layer faults, memory pressure, processor pressure, storage pressure, virtual machine restart, and virtual machine shut down. A domain name service is monitored to identify names that are resolved for the services. The service directory is then updated continuously with additional dependencies using information about the resolved names. The faults may be injected in a guided manner, wherein the scope of the faults is increased in steps over time to identify a failure point in the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Chetan Pentam Raghavendra, Dmitri A.

Patent number: 9594904Abstract: According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a computerized method is described to detect a malicious object through its attempt to utilize reflection. The computerized method comprises receiving, by a network device, an object for analysis. Thereafter, the network device conducts a first analysis within a sandboxed environment. The first analysis determines whether the object is configured to utilize reflection. According to one embodiment, the first analysis involves analysis of the content of the object by a static analysis engine. Alternatively, or in addition to this analysis, the behavior of the object by an attempt to access a reflection API may determine that the object is utilizing reflection. Responsive to the network device determining that the object utilizes reflection, a second analysis is conducted to determine whether the object is malicious.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: FireEye, Inc.Inventors: Varun Jain, Abhishek Singh
