Reverse Firewall With Self-Provisioning
US Patent:
2013026, Oct 3, 2013
Filed:
May 24, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/902206
Inventors:
Patrick MCDANIEL - State College PA, US

International Classification:
H04L 29/06
US Classification:
726 11
Abstract:
An application provisioning device may be used to manage a profile of a host and provide data corresponding to a selected application for installation at a host. A reverse firewall may use the profile of the host to determine whether to allow or block particular network communication from an application running on the host. An indication of a selected application may be received at the application provisioning device. Configuration information may also be received at the application provisioning device. The application provisioning server may request an update to the profile of a host and transmit such a request. The profile may be updated to reflect the configuration information and/or information of the selected application. Data corresponding to the selected application may be updated and transmitted to a host computer, where it may be installed. Therefore, the installed application running on the host may operate without being prematurely blocked by the reverse firewall.

System And Method For Tracking Individuals On A Data Network Using Communities Of Interest
US Patent:
2010019, Aug 5, 2010
Filed:
Dec 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/275083
Inventors:
Patrick McDaniel - State College PA, US

Assignee:
AT&T Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/173, G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709224, 709231
Abstract:
The current invention relates to a system and method for tracking or locating a target entity on a data network, such as the public Internet, by analyzing network traffic and communication among interacting network nodes. The invention describes a system of creating an information set of data related to the traffic patterns associated with a specific entity over a time period, and comparing the information set to other information related to the traffic patterns associated with a group of entities over the same time period. By excluding information that is common to both the specific entity and the group of entities from the information set, the information set is left with only the information that helps identify the specific entity on the network.
Rootkit-Resistant Storage Disks
US Patent:
2011003, Feb 10, 2011
Filed:
Aug 5, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/851046
Inventors:
Kevin R. Butler - State College PA, US
Stephen E. McLaughlin - State College PA, US
Patrick D. McDaniel - State College PA, US
Stephen E. McLaughlin - State College PA, US
Patrick D. McDaniel - State College PA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
G06F 21/24
US Classification:
726 27
Abstract:
Rootkit-resistant disks (RRD) label all immutable system binaries and configuration files at installation time. During normal operation, the disk controller inspects all write operations received from the host operating system and denies those made for labeled blocks. To upgrade, the host is booted into a safe state and system blocks can only be modified if a security token is attached to the disk controller. By enforcing immutability at the disk controller, a compromised operating system is prevented from infecting its on-disk image.
Determining Firewall Rules For Reverse Firewalls
US Patent:
2006019, Aug 24, 2006
Filed:
Nov 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/290976
Inventors:
William Aiello - Vancouver, CA

Jacobus Van der Merwe - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
AT&T Corp - New York NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
726011000
Abstract:
A reverse firewall for removing undesirable traffic from a computing network, such as a virtual private network (VPN), is disclosed. The reverse firewall uses firewall rules that may be determined and maintained within the enterprise network to control communication sent between computers in the computing network. The reverse firewall rules may be used to identify the communications between computers in the network that are undesirable and/or intrusive. For example, a computer in a network that is infected with a worm or that is surreptitiously hosting a denial-of-service attack may be identified by the reverse firewall and quarantined. The reverse firewall may be implemented in hardware and/or software.

International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370254
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for creating one or more router configurations in a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a request to create a router configuration, and retrieves automatically one or more templates in response to the request. The method then instantiates the router configuration by applying the one or more templates.

Automated Disambiguation Of Fixed-Serverport-Based Applications From Ephemeral Applications
US Patent:
7975044, Jul 5, 2011
Filed:
Dec 27, 2005
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P. - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
709224
Abstract:
Provided are methods for partitioning communication data in a network and disambiguating fixed or non-ephemeral communication data from ephemeral communication data and services. In one example, kmeans data clustering is used to partition or cluster server ports based on a location of the server ports in a 2-dimensional space. The location of the server ports may be based on a number of connections per server port and the number of servers using that port.
