  • Reporting of intra-device failure data
    Patent number: 8990634
    Abstract: Methods and a computing device are disclosed. A computing device may include a managed device having embedded firmware. When a failure occurs with respect to the managed device, drivers within the computing device may collect failure data from a driver stack of the computing device and from the managed device. The computing device may send the collected failure data to one or more second computing devices to be stored and analyzed. The computing device may include a health monitor for periodically collecting telemetry data from the computing device and the managed device. When the health monitor becomes aware of conditions indicative of a possible impending failure, the health monitor may trigger collection of sickness telemetry data from the computing device and the managed device. Collected data from the managed device may be made available to a vendor of the managed device.

  • Automated rootkit detector
    Publication number: 20060294592
    Abstract: Embodiments of a RootKit detector are directed to identifying a RootKit on a computer that is designed to conceal malware. Aspects of the RootKit detector leverage services provided by kernel debugger facilities to automatically obtain data in specified data structures that are maintained by an operating system. Then the data obtained from the kernel debugger facilities is processed with an integrity checker that determines whether the data contains properties sufficient to declare that a RootKit is resident on the computer.
