Title: Detecting suspicious code injected into a process if function call return address points to suspicious memory area
Inventor: SUOMINEN MIKKO
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2013-02-12
Abstract: Suspicious memory areas assigned to a process being run on a computer system are identified 1. Preferably these suspicious areas are identified by collecting a first list of memory areas containing modules loaded to the process and a second list of all memory areas that are executable but not in the first list, the second list corresponding to suspicious memory areas. For each thread in the process a block of memory is identified where code for the thread is located 2. It is determined whether said memory block is located within said suspicious memory areas 3. If so, a stack associated with the thread is inspected to determine whether or not the stack contains a function call leading to an executable memory area having a return address pointing to said memory block 4. If it is determined that the stack contains such a function call it is determined that the thread is running suspicious code that has been injected into the process. Threads found to be running suspicious code may be terminated.

Abstract: A cable guide, or cleat, for guiding a cable 100 (e.g. a heavy-duty, high-voltage cable) around a bend comprises: a base section 10 attached to a pivot mounting arrangement 50; an upper section 20 designed to form, when fastened to the base section 10, a cylindrical guide with clearance for the cable 100 to be passed through for installation; and an insert piece 30 designed to be inserted into the cylindrical guide when the cable 100 is in its final position so that the base and upper sections 10, 20 clamp the cable 100 in place. The clearance allows the cable guide to be used without the insert piece 30 when laying the cable 100 and, in particular, when laying the cable 100 around bends. When the cable is in place the cleat is opened and the insert piece 30 inserted so as to close the clearance. The cleat is then closed again to clamp the cable 100 in place. The ends of the base and upper sections 10, 20 may be flared outwardly to aid cable guidance.
