  • Patent number: 11973800
    Abstract: Detection of squatting domains is disclosed. A set of new fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) is received. The set of new FQDNs is analyzed to detect domain squatting by identifying a subset of the new FQDNs as candidate squatting domains. The candidate squatting domains are distributed to a security device/service.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230336572
    Abstract: Domain Name System (DNS) security using process information is provided. An application accessing an internet service using a domain name is determined. Process information associated with the application along with an associated DNS query to identify an IP address associated with the domain name are identified. The process information and the associated DNS query to a DNS security service are sent. An action based on a response from the DNS security service is performed.

  • Publication number: 20230188541
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for determining whether a registered domain is malicious. The method includes that a newly registered domain is registered, applying a malicious domain detector in connection with determining whether the newly registered domain is malicious, and in response to determining that the newly registered domain is malicious, sending to a security entity an indication that the newly registered domain is malicious.

  • Publication number: 20230069731
    Abstract: Automatic generation of network signatures is disclosed. Network profiles for malware samples are generated. Network signature candidates are selected based on the network profiles. The network signature candidates are automatically evaluated to automatically generate a new set of network signatures. The new set of network signatures is distributed to a security device/service to enforce the new set of network signatures to detect malware.

  • Publication number: 20220345487
    Abstract: Web sites are crawled using multiple browser profiles to avoid malicious cloaking. Based on web page content returned from HTTP requests using the multiple browser profiles, web sites returning substantively different content to HTTP requests for different browser profiles are identified. Web sites are further filtered by common cloaking behavior, and redirect scripts are extracted from web page content that performed cloaking. Signatures comprising tokenized versions of the redirect scripts are generated and compared to a database of known cloaking signatures. URLs corresponding to signatures having approximate matches with signatures in the database are flagged for recrawling. Recrawled URLs are verified for malicious cloaking again using HTTP requests from multiple browser profiles.
