Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods for malware attack detection and identification are provided. A malware detection and identification system a controller that features an analysis environment including a virtual machine. The analysis environment to (1) receive data by the virtual machine of the analysis environment and identify a portion of the data that have been received from one or more untrusted, (2) monitor state information associated with the identified portion of the data during execution by the virtual machine, (3) identify an outcome of the state information by tracking the state information during execution of the identified portion of the data by the virtual machine, and (4) determine whether the identified outcome comprises a redirection in control flow during execution by the virtual machine of the portion of the data, the redirection in the control flow constituting an unauthorized activity.

Abstract: A suspension system of a single-axis optical actuator is provided, including an elastic suspension plate in the form of a frame having two opposite ends each extended, through a beveled edge and a bending section, to form a cantilever arm. The elastic suspension plate is provided with a magnetic device on one side thereof. The cantilever arms are supported on a reinforcement frame to carry an optical lens. When an electric current is supplied through a connector to the magnetic device of the actuator, a reciprocal attraction or repulsion force is generated and applied to one side of the elastic suspension plate so that the elastic suspension plate may function as an oscillation member with an imaginary axis line between the two bending sections of the frame body as an axis to carry the optical lens to generate fast and position-constrained oscillation at two sides.

The four magnetic devices is sequentially activated to apply a magnetic force such that the oscillation member together with the optical lens carried thereon to rotate about two imaginary axes of the elastic suspension plate respectively defined between each pair of two opposite magnetic devices to thereby serve as a rotation axes of the oscillation member.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods for detecting a communication channel of a bot. In exemplary embodiments, presence of a communication channel between a first network device and a second network device is detected. Data from the communication channel is scanned and used to determine if a suspected bot communication exists. If a bot communication is detected, then a recovery process may be initiated.
