Webcrawlers and scraper bots are detrimental because they place a significant processing burden on web servers, corrupt traffic metrics, use excessive bandwidth, excessively load web servers, create spam, cause ad click fraud, encourage unauthorized linking, deprive the original collector/poster of the information of exclusive rights to analysis and summarize information posted on their own site, and enable anyone to create low-cost Internet advertising network products for ultimate sellers. A scaleable predictive service distributed in the cloud can be used to detect scraper activity in real time and take appropriate interdictive access up to and including denial of service based on the likelihood that non-human agents are responsible for accesses. Information gathered from a number of servers can be aggregated to provide real time interdiction protecting a number of disparate servers in a network.

An interdiction system includes software agents masquerading as nodes in a decentralized network, a query matcher that receives search results captured by the software agents and reports matches with protected files back to the software agents, and a central coordinating authority that coordinates activities of the software agents by sending instructions to the software agents specifying actions to be taken. Possible activities and related interdicting methods include manipulating search results before forwarding them on in the network, quarantining selected nodes in the network, performing file impersonations such as transferring synthesized decoys, performing file transfer attenuation, and hash spoofing.

A system (100) for providing an integrated multi-sensor detection and countermeasure against commercial unmanned aerial systems/vehicles (44) and includes a detecting element (103, 104, 105), a tracking element (103,104, 105) an identification element (103, 104, 105) and an interdiction element (102). The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The tracking element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The identification/classification element utilizing data from the other elements generates the identification and threat assessment of the UAS. The interdiction element, based on automated algorithms can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner. The interdiction process may be over ridden by intervention by a System Operator/HiL.

A multi-level and/or demand based method and apparatus for interdicting unauthorized copying in a decentralized network are described. In their preferred embodiments, the method and apparatus start out by performing search result manipulation to interdict unauthorized copying of protected files. If a trigger event is detected in network communications, however, such as a threshold number of requests being exceeded for a protected file by a network node, then the method floods that node with decoys of the protected file to enhance interdiction efforts.

Herein is disclosed an apparatus for intercepting and interdicting target organisms such as subterranean termites, which apparatus is comprised of an outer shell fitted with a port for organism ingress and egress and a dorsal cover fitted with a signal port for visual inspections. Inside are materials suitable as food for the organisms targeted by the device, so arranged and comprised as to aid and encourage the habitation, propagation, and retention of biological pesticides, including entomopathogenic nematodes. The subject invention teaches a method of gradually deploying its apparatus to intercept the presence, measure the strength and vigor, and interdict aggregations, of said target organisms. The method permits minimal, systematic deployments that undergo progressive evolutions as information from each deployed device accumulates. Reliance on simple, accurate, visual signals, to determine servicing and supplementation requirements, reduces the user's inspection and servicing time, minimizes the use of interdiction agents, and speeds the interdiction of the targeted organism at the site.

Embodiments of the invention enable very rapid intervention on detection of computer network attacks by viruses or other malicious code. Targeted disruption of links between selected nodes in the network is used to hinder the spread of such malicious code. This applies to e-mail and other modes of communication. For instance, identification of and response to an attack may occur within 5-10 minutes instead of the hours or days timescale associated with known signature-based virus protection techniques. Aspects of the invention directly adapt to observed patterns of social contacts and exchanges to provide a substantial increase, e.g., on the order of a 10-fold increase, in the time until a virus affects 70-80% of network users. This provides anti-virus inoculation mechanisms significant time, for instance on the order of 1-2 additional days, before an attack disrupts worldwide communication networks.

A system, method and client user interface for a copy protection service employs software agents masquerading as nodes in decentralized networks for monitoring and interdicting file sharing activities of protected files in the networks. A control center communicates with the software agents and subscriber client computers through user interfaces, so as to provide monitoring information to users of the client computers and control the monitoring and interdiction of protected files according to instructions received from the client computers. A one-click method for requesting protection of a file, providing the terms of such protection, and updating billing information for the user is implemented through the user interface to simplify user interaction with the copy protection service.

The grenade is a multi-purpose munition which can be used as a distraction device, like a flash bang grenade, and can be equipped with chemical agent powder for added capabilities.

Efficiently screening ACH items and providing an indicator of the screening result. Electronic files, which can be in the NACHA file format, comprise ACH items. A gateway operator or an originating financial institution can screen each ACH item using a screening software module. For each ACH item, an indicator associated with the screening can be inserted into the ACH file before the ACH item is forwarded to a receiving financial institution. The indicator can identify whether the screening produced a match against an interdiction list and/or whether the screening produced a false positive. If the screening produced a match, processing of the ACH item can be suspended, and the ACH item can be returned to the originating financial institution. Notification of the match can be transmitted to the originating financial institution, the receiving financial institution, and/or law enforcement authorities.

The present invention provides a method, which is used for blocking TCP connection of a network in the bypass way. The method can be used in the fields of network security, network management, network access control, and so on. A monitoring device is arranged in a local area network, which is used for monitoring for the network through a hub or the mirror port of an exchanger. When the connection of a TCP needs blocking, an imitative TCP data packet with a RST sign is assembled according to the monitored information of TCP connection; the data packet is then directly transmitted to a link layer. The machine which has the connection to be blocked receives the imitative TCP data packet, and considers that the other end of the connection has transmitted the information of resetting the connection. According to standard protocols, the operating system can automatically disconnect the TCP. Thus the application program with the connection can be disconnected, which achieves the purpose of blocking the illegal network visit.

An electromagnetic personnel interdiction control (EPIC) non-destructive stun type weapon system and method utilizes beamed RF energy (Lorentz Force) to disrupt the normal mechanical transduction process and/or the chemical engine by which sound, position and other sensory input are converted to messages by nerve cells and processed by the brain to produce complete disorientation, confusion, and temporary incapacitation sufficient to temporarily and remotely render a human powerless to resist arrest or subjugation. Removal of the RF electromagnetic energy will leave the nerve cells and surrounding tissues with no damage and the second order effects of severe motion sickness and the psychological effects of “helplessness” remains until the body chemistry returns to normal.
