Abstract: Detecting whether or not an open source software package has functionality which is not described by the source code used to build the open source software package. To do so, in one embodiment, this is done by accessing source code used to build the open source software package. The open source software package is built from the source code. After the open source software package has been rebuilt, then it is computed whether or not the rebuilt package accomplishes the same functions as the open source software package. Finally, if the rebuilt package does not accomplish the same functions as the open source software package, an alert is raised.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system to store application state data associated with a transaction between a client computing device and a server computing device comprises a processor, a memory module coupled to the processor and comprising logic instructions stored on a computer readable medium which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, from a capturing module that monitors transactions between one or more client computing devices and the server computing device a method, an object on which the method is being performed, and metadata associated with at least one of the object and the method, generate at least one method metadata message that uniquely identifies the method, generate at least one method invocation message that describes characteristics of a single method call, and generate at least one object instance that describes an instance of the object, and store the at least one method metadata message, the at least one method invocation message, and the at least one obj
