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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937887 titled 'A CYBER RECOVERY FORENSICS KIT CONFIGURED TO MAINTAIN COMMUNICATION AND SEND RETURN MALWARE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for data protection and malware response operations. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Malware is allowed to run in a controlled forensic environment to learn its operational characteristics.
  • A working scenario with false data is prepared in advance to allow the malware to communicate with a malware host system.
  • Once the operational characteristics are learned, a return malware is placed in the data and transmitted to the malware host system by the malware itself.

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. The forensic environment includes a working scenario that may be prepared in advance with false data that allows the malware to communicate with a malware host system. Once the operational characteristics are 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.
