Method, apparatus and computer readable medium for multiple messaging session management with a graphical user interfacse

A graphical user interface displays a unique graphical indexing element such as a tab for each engaged and non-engaged messaging session. The user chooses which messaging session to make engaged by selecting its graphical indexing element. The graphical indexing elements have various distinctive characteristics to indicate the status of their respective messaging sessions, such as engaged, non-engaged with no unread messages, or non-engaged with at least one unread message. The messaging sessions may all be docked, in which event the engaged messaging session is displayed in a window pane set and the other messaging sessions are not displayed, or may be selectively undocked, in which event the engaged messaging session and the undocked messaging sessions are displayed in respective window pane sets. The engaged window pane set supports the communication of original or predefined messages between the user's digital device and the pal's messaging-enabled digital device, regardless of capability.

Distributed systems and methods for automatically detecting unknown bots and botnets

Techniques may automatically detect bots or botnets running in a computer or other digital device by detecting command and control communications, called “call-backs,” from malicious code that has previously gained entry into the digital device. Callbacks are detected using a distributed approach employing one or more local analyzers and a central analyzer. The local analyzers capture packets of outbound communications, generate header signatures, and analyze the captured packets using various techniques. The techniques may include packet header signature matching against verified callback signatures, deep packet inspection. The central analyzer receives the header signatures and related header information from the local analyzers, may perform further analysis (for example, on-line host reputation analysis); determines using a heuristics analysis whether the signatures correspond to callbacks; and generally coordinates among the local analyzers.

Classifying sets of malicious indicators for detecting command and control communications associated with malware

Techniques may automatically detect bots or botnets running in a computer or other digital device by detecting command and control communications, called “call-backs,” from malicious code that has previously gained entry into the digital device. Callbacks are detected using an approach employing both a set of high quality indicators and a set of supplemental indicators. The high quality indicators are selected since they provide a strong correlation with callbacks, and may be sufficient for the techniques to determine that the network outbound communications actually constitute callbacks. If not, the supplemental indicators may be used in conjunction with the high quality indicators to declare the outbound communications as callbacks.

Method and apparatus for providing fixed bandwidth communications over a local area network

The present invention is a method and apparatus for transferring data between a wide area network and a computer system located on an Ethernet type local area network. When characterized as a method, the present invention initially receives data from the wide area network using a digital device that is connected to both the wide area network and the local area network, the data received by the digital device being destined for a computer system attached to the local area network. Next, the digital device receives a signal from systems in the wide area network indicating that the data is to be transferred to and from the computer system at a predetermined guaranteed quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth. Packets that contain the data are then formatted to indicate that the data is to be transmitted at a “guaranteed” rate of throughput higher than the minimum rate. Finally, the packets that contain the data are sent to the computer system, thereby establishing a communication link for the packet stream between the wide area network and the local area network that transmits data at the guaranteed QoS.
