CYBER RECOVERY FORENSICS KIT CONFIGURED TO SEND RETURN MALWARE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937882 titled 'CYBER RECOVERY FORENSICS KIT CONFIGURED TO SEND RETURN MALWARE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for data protection and malware response operations by allowing malware to run in a forensic environment to learn its operational characteristics, then placing a return malware in the data which is transmitted to a malware host system by the malware itself and executed.

  • Data protection and malware response operations method:
 - Malware is allowed to run in a forensic environment to learn its operational characteristics.
 - A return malware is placed in the data.
 - The return malware is transmitted to a malware host system by the malware itself and executed.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in cybersecurity systems, forensic investigations, and malware analysis tools.

Problems Solved

- Enhances data protection by understanding malware behavior. - Improves malware response operations by deploying return malware.

Benefits

- Increased security against malware attacks. - Enhanced understanding of malware behavior for better response strategies.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Data Protection with Malware Response Operations" can be used in cybersecurity software, forensic analysis tools, and data protection services.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to malware analysis tools and forensic investigation techniques that involve studying malware behavior in controlled environments.

Unanswered Questions

How does the method ensure the return malware does not cause harm to the system?

The abstract does not specify the safeguards in place to prevent the return malware from causing damage once executed.

Are there any limitations to the effectiveness of this method in detecting and responding to advanced malware threats?

The abstract does not address any potential limitations or challenges in dealing with sophisticated malware attacks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Data protection including malware response operations are disclosed. When a production system is attacked, the malware is allowed to run in a forensic environment in order to learn its operational characteristics. Once learned, a return malware can be placed in the data. The return malware is transmitted to a malware host system by the malware itself and executed.
