  • Patent number: 12341786
    Abstract: Technologies related to malicious DNS request detection are disclosed. A DNS server can use a machine learning model to analyze DNS requests and to detect requests that are potentially malicious. The machine learning model can comprise a neural network (such as a convolutional neural network) that is trained using a corpus of known malicious and non-malicious DNS requests. Data included in a DNS request can be provided as input to a machine learning algorithm (such as a neural network algorithm) that uses the input data and the machine learning model to generate a prediction of whether the DNS request is malicious. If the DNS request is determined to likely be malicious then the request can be blocked (for example by providing a fake address in response to the DNS request). If the DNS request is determined to likely be non-malicious, then the DNS request can be allowed.

  • Patent number: 12265542
    Abstract: Generating reports from database is conventionally performed manually which requires skilled persons, time consuming and prone to errors. Thus, embodiments of present disclosure provide a no-code platform for generating reports as a transaction. User selects a slice object, its information attributes, report attributes, and optionally filters, grouping, splitting, and sorting conditions which are displayed by the no-code platform. Further, a database query is generated based on the user selection by the no code platform. The database query is then executed to retrieve data from a database. Finally, a report is generated based on the retrieved data and the report attributes. Thus, users can obtain reports as a transaction by just specifying their requirements. They need not know the complex structure of the database. Also, the method can be used to generate any type of report from any type of database irrespective of the internal data organization of the database.

  • Patent number: 12210881
    Abstract: An embedded controller (EC) of an information handling system is configured to detect and respond to anomalous conditions in which a pre-boot or runtime error has occurred and EC-local storage resources are not sufficient to store EC telemetry data, by redirecting the EC telemetry data through an available communication channel, e.g., SBIOS MBOX packets or ACPI MMIO, to offload the data to EC-external storage such as an ESP partition or Cloud storage. In a pre-boot mode, SBIOS may invoke a UEFI storage driver to write out EC log data to EC-external storage, e.g., SSD/NVMe device or the Cloud. In a runtime mode, the EC may be flagged by an OS bugcheck handler, e.g., via eSPI MMIO path, to save the log data. In an OS-context mode, ACPI methods may notify a persistent driver, e.g., Common Platform Services (CPS) driver, to write out the log to the EC-external storage.

  • Patent number: 12101257
    Abstract: Techniques for scaling additional capacity for secure access solutions and other workloads of enterprise edge networks in and out of a cloud-computing network based on demand. The techniques may include determining that a capacity associated with a secure access node of an enterprise edge network meets or exceeds a threshold capacity. Based at least in part on the capacity meeting or exceeding the threshold capacity, the techniques may include causing a facsimile of the secure access node to be spun up on a cloud-computing network that is remote from the enterprise edge network. In this way, new connection requests received from client devices can be redirected to the facsimile of the secure access node. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more existing connections between client devices and the secure access node may be migrated to the facsimile of the secure access node in the cloud.

  • Patent number: 12039310
    Abstract: Data intake and query system (DIQS) instances supporting applications including lower-tier, focused, work group oriented applications may be tailored to meet the specific needs of the users. Rather than offer pre-configured options, the DIQS-based application offers the user the ability to customize data collection before deploying the collectors for specified host entities within an IT environment. Once the user selects the metrics and/or log sources for data collection at a custom interface, the lower-tier DIQS generates custom script operable to establish collection of the source data having the selected metrics and events associated with selected log sources from the specified host entities. The user can display and analyze the collected data.

  • Patent number: 12032461
    Abstract: A method and system determine a potential impact from software upgrades on a computing device. A device configuration is identified for a first computing device based on the software and hardware elements currently present. Other computing devices are identified in the network having installed the software application upgrade. A history of operating behavior associated with the software application upgrade is retrieved. The profile is analyzed for each of the other computing devices for conflicts with the software application. A determination is made as to whether the software application upgrade will potentially cause a failure in the first computing device based on the history of operating behavior associated with the software application upgrade and based on a state of similarity between the analyzed profile for each of the other computing devices and the profile of the first computing device. The end user is presented with a risk-based recommendation.

  • Patent number: 12019759
    Abstract: A data processing system has a processor and a system memory. The system memory may be a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The processor includes an embedded memory. The system memory is coupled to the processor and is organized in a plurality of pages. A portion of the code or data stored in the plurality of memory pages is selected for permutation. A permutation order is generated and the memory pages containing the portion of code or data is permuted using a permutation order. The permutation order and/or a reverse permutation order to recover the original order may be stored in the embedded memory. Permuting the memory pages with a permutation order stored in the embedded memory prevents the code or data from being read during a freeze attack on the system memory in a way that is useful to an attacker.
