- Publisher's Summary
- This work presents a unified treatment of three important integrable problems relevant to both Celestial and Quantum Mechanics. Under discussion are the Kepler (two-body) problem and the Euler (two-fixed center) problem, the latter being the more complex and more instructive, as it exhibits a richer and more varied solution structure. Further, because of the interesting investigations by the 20th century mathematical physicist J.P. Vinti, the Euler problem is now recognized as being intimately linked to the Vinti (Earth-satellite) problem. Here the analysis of these problems is shown to follow a definite shared pattern yielding exact forms for the solutions. A central feature is the detailed treatment of the planar Euler problem where the solutions are expressed in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, yielding analytic representations for the orbits over the entire parameter range. This exhibits the rich and varied solution patterns that emerge in the Euler problem, which are illustrated in the appendix. A comparably detailed analysis is performed for the Earth-satellite (Vinti) problem. This book highlights shared features in the unified treatment of the Kepler, Euler, and Vinti problems. It raises challenges in analysis and astronomy, placing this trio of problems in the modern context. It includes a full analysis of the planar Euler problem. It highlights the complex - and surprising orbit - patterns that arise from the Euler problem. It provides a detailed analysis and solution for the Earth-satellite problem. The analysis and results in this work will be of interest to graduate students in mathematics and physics (including physical chemistry) and researchers concerned with the general areas of dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, and mathematical physics and has direct application to celestial mechanics, astronomy, orbital mechanics, and aerospace engineering.

That's why you should make the magazine always empty, before you load it up. What's also new at MOORHUHN X, is the representation of the landscape.
In contrast to the previous versions you get shown the graphic completely in 3D. Waiting is a cartoon-like game environment which is extremely funny. Also, X await you at GROUSE many funny animations, which will give you lots of laughs. At GROUSE X, there is no vast point opportunities, because the scale is relatively easy.

The Gang: The Ones I Call Friends?
I woke up having a sharp pain in my back. I turned over to see Martin still snoring loudly. I flung the covers off me and got out of bed. My hair was messed up bouncing in all sorts of directions. I went downstairs to watch some TV. Nobody wakes up this early except for me. It's the only quiet time I get from Julie complaining. I sat down and turned on Nickelodeon. It was Saturday morning so I was pretty happy that we didn't have school for another day. SpongeBob was on so I decided to watch. Mom and dad came stumbling down the stairs.
"Hey honey," mumbled dad scratching his head.
I turned my head around. "Why are you up so early?" I asked.
"We have to get Julie to a soccer practice," said my mom putting on her blue button down coat.
Julie came trotting down the stairs in her soccer uniform. "I love soccer!" She yelled probably waking my brother up in the process.
"Ah shut the f*** up," Martin shouted from upstairs.
I snickered and my dad looked at me with a scowl on his face.
"Ok sweetie, get in the car and we'll be on our way!" said my mom proudly rubbing Julies head.
They all headed out the door as I heard the garage open.
The rest of the day went along as usual. Julie had gotten back from soccer practice at one O'clock and started bragging about how good she was. Martin and I couldn't take her bragging so we decided to go to Jimmy's house while Julie had a play date with Maria, Johnny's little sister. Martin always liked to go and visit Jimmy but rarely brought me along only on special occasions because his gang was usually there and liked to smoke and drink. I guess that made him a little annoyed. We headed down the driveway and down the road. Jimmy's house was right across from ours. I saw him shooting hoops with two of his friends. We headed up his driveway.
"Hey Marty what's going on?!" He said shooting the basketball in to the hoop.
"Nothing much, hey is it ok if Avi stays here? My little sis is being annoying and I didn't want to leave her alone.
"Yeah it's all right!" He said smiling at me.
I crossed my arms and sneered at him.
Jimmy's whole gang showed up.
"I bet he called them," I thought to myself.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 21, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas Sports Hwrald-Zeltanf Wednesday, September 21,1963 | SA Casper, Archie traded HOUSTON (AP) - Quarterback Archie Manning and tight end Dave Casper said they were surprised but happy about a whirlwind trade that sent both of them from the Houston Oilers to the Minnesota Vikings. "I'm shocked," Manning told the Houston Chronicle Tuesday night after both teams announced the deal. "I never expected something like this. I've been very dedicated to this job. "I've busted my butt to help the team get out of tbs slump, but I'm looking forward to going to Minnesota because they're a winning team." The Chronicle quoted a source close to the Vikings as saying Houston will receive choices in the second and fourth rounds of the 1984 draft. Oilers Coach Ed Biles refused to confirm that report. Biles said the deal came about in a single day. "They contacted us today," he said. General Manager Ladd Herzeg negotiated with the Vikings "throughout the day, talking back and forth with them and keeping me informed of what was going on. It was finally finalized this evening." Herzeg said the Oilers would pay a substantial portion of both players' salaries through 1965. The Vikings' starting quarterback, Tommy Kramer of San Antonio, is expected to miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury he suffered Sunday against Tampa Bay. Casper, a native of Bemidji, Minn., said he is delighted with the change. "I've always wanted to play for the Vikings," he told the Chronicle. "I told Ed Biles that this would be my last year with the Oilers. I guess that had something to do with the trade." He did not criticize the Oilers, who have lost all three of their games this year and have dropped IO games in a row. "I think this is a good deal for both teams," Casper said. "The Oilers have improved as an organization. They're growing." Biles said the loss of Manning) 34, and Casper, 31, would not hurt the team this year. "The young tight ends, Chris Dreaael and Mike McCloakey, are doing a fine job for us," he said. "We want to give them more playing time." As for the quarterback job, Biles said, "We thought there was very little to choose from from day one between Archie and Gifford (Nielsen). Giff's playing time — when he's played, he's done well for us." Manning, who has never played for a winning team in his 13-year professional career, agreed he is happy with the opportunity the trade affords him. Manning started at quarterback in all three of the Oilers' games this year, completing 44 of 88 passes for 755 yards. On the brink Americans can win Cup today NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - Liberty skipper Dennis Conner, with a commanding 3-1 lead in the America's Cup series, is on the brink of giving the United States its 25th consecutive successful defense of sailing's top prize. Conner won a hardbought 43-second victory against Australia ll skipper John Bertrand Tuesday by making the Aussies "play our game" and avoiding tacking duels with the more manueverable foreign boat on Rhode Island Sound. "It takes two boats to tango, I guess, and my guess is John would have liked to see the boats tacking more," said Conner, who hoped to clinch the best-of-seven series today. "He tacks very well and we felt we would be better off tacking as little as possible. "We tried to make him play our game a little more. It's all part of the strategy. Australia tacks awfully well. So unless there's a real good reason to tack, we don't," he said. Tacking is a zig-zag manuever to change course by bringing the front of the boat through the wind so the sail moves from one side to another. Conner's strategy paid off because Bertrand apparently had unlimited faith in the speed of his innovative winged-keel boat. The Aussie skipper chose not to take full advantage of his boat's ability to turn quickly during the tacking manuevers on the windward legs. Instead, he tacked only occasionally and tried to out-run Liberty after falling behind at the start by six seconds. "We were playing the wind shifts ... We were mixing it up. We obviously gained — at one stage Liberty had a two boat-length lead and we were able to get back to no lead at all," Bertrand said. Midway through the first leg, Conner responded by guiding his ruby red boat to the windward side of the course, picking up a wind shift and surging ahead. Bertrand stuck to his strategy on the two final windward legs but trailed liberty by at least five boat lengths for the rest of the course. SV clobbers Prairie Lea, looks to district opener By DAVID KING Sports editor Celebtations after Smithson Valley's 15-2, 15-0 pasting of Prairie Lea Tuesday lasted about as long as the match — XI minutes or so. That's because the Rangersttes open District 26-3A play Thursday against Southside, last year's runner-up. And Coach Louise Davidson isn't taking anything for granted. "We're going to have to be mentally prepared for every game," Davidson said. "The kids know they're going to have to work for everything they get. Nobody is going to roll over and say 'Here, Smithson Valley, Uke it.'" Prairie Lea, a Class A school, all but did that Tuesday night, though. The Indians managed only one ace and one kill the entire match. They basically fell to pieces against Smithson Valley's Laurie Kneupper in the second game, as she served 15 straight points — including eight aces. "I knew they wouldn't be that strong, but I expected a little more than that," Davidson said. "Their coach told me they needed somebody who would spike against them because they hadn't seen many teams that (bd." The Rangerettes obliged when they could, as Julie Cappel had six kills, Tricia Munsell two and Christine Lehmann one. But the Indians had so much trouble picking up the serve that they often could not put the ball into play. Smithson Valley did what it needed to do in winning its 12 game in 22 tries. "In the first game, they at least spiked a little, and we did a good job of picking it up," Davidson said. Every pUyer on the Smithson Valley roster got into the game, although none at them got to route very often. Traci Fetch led the Rangerettes in the first game, picking up four aces.

Canyon's junior varsity won iU match with Round Rock 15-8,16-14 and the freshmen won 15-9,13-15,15 9, By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Refugio High School's Art Green is learning a new position at tight end this season in hopes of helping the Bobcats repeat as the Class 3A state football champions. But Hallettsville players will agree he's still devastating at his old linebacking position where last week Green accounted for 16 unassisted and four assisted tackles, batted down three passes and one punt and intercepted a pass in a 55-0 victory. Green, 6-5, 205, remained on the field as a tight end and caught three passes, including an 18-yard touchdown reception for his first score at the position. The dual performance earned mention in The Associated Press Schoolboy Honor Roll. Senior tailback Stacy Rusk also earned Honor Roll mention after scoring all the points for Class 2A top ranked Panhandle in a 30-7 victory over Canadian. Rusk, 6-1, 190, ran for touchdown of seven, 14,13 and two yards, kicked a 22-yard field goal and three extra points. Rusk, who anchored Panhandle's 1600-meter state championship team last season, gained 136 yards on 17 carries. In other outstanding performs ces last week: — Anahuac's Hedrick Williams rushed for 230 yards on 33 carries and had touchdown runs of 23, one, five and eight yards in an offense-oriented 33-24 victory over Bridge City. The two teams combined for 846 total yards. — Temple halfback Melvin Collins, 6-0, 205, collected his third straight 100-yard performance with 104 yards on 13 carries in a 45-20 victory over Abilene Cooper. Collins is averaging 6.2 yards per carry and is the team's leading receiver with five catches for 88 yards. — Laredo Nixon punter-receiver Baldemar Sanchez, a former soccer player, averaged 42 yards on five punts in his first game as a punter and caught a 36-yard pass that set up the winning touchdown in a 14-13 victory over Laredo United. Sanches also kicked both extra points. — Gerald Wilkerson was a scoring machine for unbeaten Cameron in a 41-6 victory over Hillsboro. Wilkerson, had touchdown catches of ll and 34 yards, returned a punt 75 yards for another touchdown, returned a kickoff 68 yards to set up another score slid had a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown nullified by a penalty. — Eddie Bolden of Hamlin scored on runs of 76,49, IO and one yard and rushed 301 yards on 12 carries in a 49-0 rout of Albany. Bolden has 527 yards in helping Hamlin to a 3-0 record while outscoring the opposition 139-0. Record-tying Aggie honored By ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas AAM's Alan Smith came within inches of owning a cherished NCAA record by himself. But he didn't know it until he read the Bryarh College Station Eagle the next day. Smith kicked six field goals Saturday night of 44, 45,42,33, 50 and 57 yards in a 36-0 victory over Arkansas State. He also hit the croassbar on a 36-yard attempt. He broke the Southwest Conference record of five held by AltM's Tony Franklin and tied the NCAA mark owned by four other placekickers. The performance earned him The Associated Press SWC Offensive Player of the Week award. "I knew it was a Southwest Conference record but I didn't know about the NCAA until the next day when I ready it in the paper," Smith said. "Then I started thinking about the one that hit the crossbar." How far can the junior from Texas City kick one? "Well, I hit a 75yarder in practice with the wind," Smith said. "Maybe Coach (Jackie) Sherrill will let me try one that far someday. I think I could make it if the conditions were right." Smith is a barefoot kicker like Aggie greats Franklin and David Hardy. Smith redshirted last year because Hardy was such a consistent producer. "I learned a lot from David," Smith said. Ironically, Smith had to beat out a little brother of Franklin, Erie. "We had a lot of competition this spring but once I got the starting job I didn't have much trouble holding it down," Smith said. Smith was an extremely accurate kicker at Texas City. He hit 14 of 19 tries Na senior year including boots of 52 and 50 yards against Galveston Ball in a 6-2 victory . Smith is also noted for his booming kicks into the end zone, wNch have brought a certain amount of dismay from the 12th Man kickoff suicide squad. Smithson Valley's Christine Lehmann bumps Staff photo by John N Sen** Dual-purpose player excelsMorgan, Phillies maintain lead in NL East By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Joe Morgan is finding life at 40 to his liking, to the benefit of the Philadelphia Phillies' pennant hopes. Morgan, who celebrated his 40th birthday Monday with four hits, in-duffing two homers and four RBI, went tfor-6 again and knocked in three runs Tuesday night as the PMlliea defeated the Chicago Cuba 64 to maintain a two-game lead over Montreal and Pittsburgh in the National League East.

The Steubenville police department has been aware of this recent video that was released. Since late August 2012 the subject who made the video was interviewed. This has all been turned over to the prosecutors which are the Ohio Attorney Generals Office, who is prosecuting this case. It's always been the policy of the Steubenville Police Department not to make comments on details of a case prior to it going to trial. I know this is frustrating for some. I can't change that now, as you know this is a high profile case and for the parties interested I believe I should not make a comment on it because I can't make a comment on it. It's being handled by an outside agencyIn an eight-page investigation into the assault published in December, The New York Times wrote that social media has played an interesting, and at times confusing, role in the case.
Twitter posts, videos and photographs circulated by some who attended the nightlong set of parties suggested that an unconscious girl had been sexually assaulted over several hours while others watched. She even might have been urinated on.The newspaper wrote about the assault in detail, describing how the unresponsive and potentially unconscious girl was allegedly penetrated and violated, sometimes on camera.
On this fateful night a life was changed forever as a group of the football players of Big Red High School, dubbed themselves "rape crew" and began taking advantage of an underage girl. The girl was sexually assaulted, molested, raped, and drug unconcious [sic] from party to party. This is a warning shot to the school faculty, the parents of those involved, and those involved especially. A preliminary dox is being released on some of those involved... You can hide no longer, you have attracted the attention of the hive. We will not sit idely by and watch a group of young men who turn to rape as a game or sport get the pass because of athletic ability and small town luck. You now have the world looking directly at you.Then on Jan. 1, the group released the video, published along with a private investigative dossier, on Local Leaks.
#KnightSec @KYAnonymousThe former Steubenville student featured in the leaked video had already drawn criticism for comments he made on the night of the alleged rape, tweeting "Song of the night is definitely Rape Me by Nirvana," and "Some people deserve to be peed on," reports Jezebel, which has been following the case.

Brad, appreciate you taking the time to review our CD and giving us your input. tks, Dave Scott
This was an excellent airing and I just loved that it ran over an hour and Brian Kopper was on! Get your pledges in, folks!
Congratulations to John and the MS team that has brought us such a wonderful taste of eclectic performers over the years. I can remember gardening on Tuesday afternoons listening to the show. Best wishes for continued healthy healing!
Thank you, both, for this review and for laying bare the truth of grief.
I will listen.
And I'll keep reading Sarah's beautiful writing.
Thank you, both, for this review for laying bare the truth of grief.
I will listen.
And I will keep reading Sarah's beautiful and informative writing.
My apologies. I was unnecessarily rude.
So, you couldn't focus on the music you were reviewing? It was good, "highly polished, tightly produced", but you had other things on your mind and couldn't give it the proper amount of attention? Is that right?
Some reviewers just suck, Like this one.
Yeah, Antonio!!! A great write-up. Thanks for visiting us way over and up here in Maine. Maybe next time, we can hear you play...
It would be pretty great to have Emma (or you, Erika) or anyone who wants to, add to the playlist I created based upon your article. Collaborate here:
I couldn't agree more with the opening sentence of this review ("John Prine should be one of the four faces on songwriting's Mount Rushmore, cheek by jowl with Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen."). He's way under-rated. But I think the list should include Kris Kristofferson, and make it FIVE faces.
Great review. I agree, Blue & Lonesome is a great raw and authentic album from the greatest Rock n Roll Band.
dude....like the previous post.MF DOom has been around a lot longer then Snoop. Peep the artists wiki page or do some research before you post such drivel.
Kanye is a substandard artist? Would like to see the grading scale that produced this conclusion.
DOOM has been in the game for quite sometime. Some would argue even longer than Snoop. MF DOOM started with KMD. He was Zev Love X then. They had decent rotation on MTV back then. Them with the likes 3rd Base. I remember seeing them on YO! MTV raps. Please do not lump him in with the likes of a substandard artist such as Kanye. Thanks.
nice Hated name-check in 2016
ya ya ya
Great descriptive article; cool photo-wish they were connected with their instruments; and very talented and entertaining music makers that always compel head bobbing and hip shaking.

Software is an essential component for the operation of most systems. For example, software runs as an essential part on a variety of computing devices such as handle-held music players, digital assistants, smartphones, laptops, desktops, and data center machines. Moreover, it is becoming commonplace for users to have more than one device that uses software as a central component. Home networks that accommodate wired and wireless computing as well as phone systems are increasing in number as technological advances continue to drive down costs.
However, not all these devices and gadgets will come equipped with the requisite software or the hardware resources (e.g., CPU power or memory capacity) to be able to run the latest software (e.g., security). Provisioning machines with the latest updates as soon as they become available, especially with respect to malware protection, can become a problem in a corporate enterprise as users travel, machines get used offline at times when updates are being distributed, and users simply fail to maintain the systems by postponing the update.
Whether a machine is on an enterprise network, on a relatively less secure network (e.g., a home network, or the Internet), there will be situations where a user system needs more security software than is currently installed or the system could possibly host in order to stay protected from potential attacks. There are also situations where a system, despite having all the right and latest security software installed or having the latest updates to fix vulnerabilities, needs a central (or remote) device for filtering the incoming traffic to provide protection from DOS (denial-of-service) attacks that consume excessive network bandwidth and processor cycles.
Consider a fixed security infrastructure where a network worm is circulating that exploits a vulnerability in HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol). A known signature is available; however, there are two devices, one for which there is no available intrusion protection software (IPS), and another, which due to limited CPU power and memory capacity, is not running the available IPS software. In another example, consider a roaming scenario where a group of users roam through hot spots. The blend of computing devices is such that some of these devices lack the requisite security software for adequate protection. In at least these situations a mechanism should be made available by which the devices can quickly garner external resources available on the network to dynamically mount effective protective shields.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of novel embodiments described herein. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The disclosed architecture provides a mechanism by which a host machine can direct incoming and/or outgoing traffic through a proxy machine (e.g., a server) that provides one or more effective shields such as a firewall, intrusion protection software (IPS), and anti-malware services, to the host machine. The host machine can choose to exercise redirection when there is a risk of being compromised, and then revert back to direct communications when the risk has been averted. Redirection can occur dynamically. Redirection can be done as per a command and/or policy and for as long as needed or specified.
The architecture includes a mechanism for changing direct communications of host machine traffic into indirect communications through the proxy that has the requisite security shields (or other types of software that satisfy a client's need), and then reverting away from the proxy back to direct communications automatically, as and when needed. The host machine can take advantage of the resources available on the proxy machine in substantially realtime with minimal disruption to the host and/or the proxy machine operations. This facilitates widespread and temporary protection of network systems resulting in a more secure working environment and improved customer experience.
The architecture works in a fixed infrastructure (e.g., an enterprise) and in ad-hoc networks, for example. Additionally, a mechanism is disclosed for discovering and electing a proxy system to mount effective security shields for the client machine in the absence of managed fixed infrastructure security devices.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles disclosed herein can be employed and is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The architecture described herein is a mechanism for allowing a client machine or device to access functionality (e.g., security) provided by software on a remote machine (e.g., an elected machine) and providing that functionality to the client on a temporary basis. In a specific example, a client with limited or no malware protection software capability can access a remote system, and leverage the remote system's malware protection software to provide the system with the necessary protection.
Consider two devices where a first device has no available intrusion protection software (IPS) and the second, due to limited CPU processing power and memory capacity, is not running the latest available IPS software. If a proxy server that is running the IPS with the latest signature set is present, the devices can route all traffic through the proxy server thus acquiring a means for protection until the devices receive and install necessary patches or the IPS software along with the latest signature set or get protected through some other means such as being connected only to secure networks where the extra protection through a central device is not necessary. Once the devices get patched, install the needed IPS, or determine that the protection provided by the proxy server is no longer needed, the devices can disconnect from the proxy and route traffic directly, thereby operating independently of the proxy server.
In a roaming example where a group of users roam hotspots, the blend of computing devices is such that one or more of these devices can lack the requisite security software for adequate protection. In response, the devices that lack the software discover and elect one of the machines in the group that has the requisite security software to provide the protection as a proxy server and start routing traffic through it.
Note that although the description focuses on security or protection software as a need by an inadequately-protected client, the type of software service can be related to other needs such as simply offloading processing to an elected peer client that has the software and/or hardware capability to handle the processing, for example.
Reference is now made to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the novel embodiments can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof.
Referring initially to the drawings,
The system 100 provides a mechanism by which the host device 104 (or machine) can direct incoming and/or outgoing traffic through the remote component 108 (e.g., a proxy server) that provides one or more needed services. The services can include "shielding" software that provides to the device traffic of the host device 104 functionality related to firewall protection, intrusion protection (e.g., via intrusion protection software (IPS)), and anti-malware services. The host device 104 can choose to exercise redirection of the host device traffic from a direct communications mode with a network or other device to an indirect communications mode through another device or server via the routing component 110, when there is a risk of being compromised, for example. When the threat or risk is reduced or eliminated and/or the host device software has been upgraded or new software installed, then the host device traffic can be routed back to the host device 104 for direct communications with a network or other devices. Redirection, as well as other associated component processes, can occur dynamically as a result of a command and/or policy.
One practical example includes a security administrator of a corporate enterprise network learning of a new vulnerability in one or more client operation systems (OS's) in widespread use, such as for desktop computers, portable computers PDAs, etc. It is commonplace for business intranets, hotspots in the public domain, or even home networks to include machines running various OS versions and different versions of application (e.g., security) software. Accordingly, there is an ongoing need to maintain the highest level of protection which can be by simply receiving the latest updates. However, it is conceivable that there are users or customers, for example, which lack the requisite software entirely.
Continuing with the corporate example, when a security administrator received notice of an OS (or program) vulnerability, the administrator can issue a network risk beacon that notifies the machines about the vulnerability. The beacon can serve as a triggering event that prods or commands the vulnerable machines to direct all further communications through a network proxy that has the necessary shields to protect the machines against the exploit, until such time as the machines can receive the protection software needed. It is also within contemplation of the disclosed architecture that the vulnerable machines do not need to update or receive the vulnerability updates at all, but can simply use the proxy when needed. This can be the situation where hotspot are involved such that customers temporarily use the vendor network, and then disconnect.
Another practical application includes gadgets or subsystems such as associated with smart devices for home appliances that are essentially single-purpose devices. For example, there many appliances that rely on software for operation. Moreover, there are many appliances now being designed with networking capabilities for not only home networks, but for accessing public networks and communicating information there between. Thus, attacks can become a problem where hackers attempt to gain unauthorized access and control for otherwise dubious purposes. Hence, the devices can select and elect a home smart device to filter and protect the other devices where a vulnerability has been detected in software or one of the smart devices has been signaled about the vulnerability.
A security administrator can prefer this security mechanism to having the machines download the latest IPS software and signatures. This can be because not all devices have software downloads that can provide the protection or software protection has never been designed for the device. Additionally, there can be devices that do not have the IPS software installed and need immediate protection in that it takes too long and is too disruptive to install the requisite software given the critical operations currently underway.
The selection process can be performed in several different ways. For example, on receiving a signal or instructions to initiate protection through a network proxy, for example, the proxy address(es) (where more than one proxy is utilized) can be passed with the instructions, or the machines can be pre-configured with addresses as part of IP configuration.
Other examples include assessing each of the remote systems 204 prior to host (or client) device connection based on one or more criteria. For example, hardware capabilities of the remote systems 204 can be a factor for consideration. It can be desirable to choose a remote system that has greater processing capability (e.g., two processors or multi-core or faster CPU), a faster network connection, geographically closer, and has the desired service. Selection can further be based on the remote system owner (or logged-in user), the type of service protection needed (e.g., malware, firewall, anti-virus, etc.).
Where the remote systems 204 are peer devices, the selection component 202 can also facilitate automatic and/or manual election of one of the other peer devices to become the server, and handle the routed host device(s) traffic. Although only one host device 104 is shown, it is further to be understood that there are multiple hosted devices that could be required to connect and receive the protection or service.
In preparation for such an instance, each device 104 can include, as part of the selection component 202, a subsystem (not shown) that processes and generates a value or data that is a general measure of the capabilities offered and available by that device. Thus, during the selection (and election) process, the networked machines can quickly process the values or data of the devices and select the most capable (or most suitable) device to act as the server in that particular instance. For example, it can be that a device has the service(s) needed for the particular instance, but not in a later scenario.
In yet another novel embodiment, the selection component 202 can include risk-management analysis, where scores are generated and associated with types of events. For example, one score can be available for a client/proxy server scenario, while another score can be generated and associated with a peer-to-peer (P2P) environment. Accordingly, other pulse points can also be monitored and all pulse points processed to generate a risk score for the machine. A lower risk score can be interpreted to be more secure (or having a lower relative risk) than a machine advertising a higher value. If the risk is high, another machine can be selected to serve as the proxy server.
In another embodiment, a remote system can advertise its capabilities. For instance, the host device may not want to proxy the firewall capabilities because the remote system has the appropriate firewall policy. However, the host only wants to use the IPS and antivirus components. It specifies that to the proxy. Moreover, there can be machines that advertise as being collaborative for providing partial protection and those which are not. When multiple devices are available for selection, the host can negotiate with the devices and then choose one that best fits its needs. This negotiation and selection can be performed at anytime with a previous selection giving way to a new one at a later time. One situation in which this could happen is if the previous proxy gets overloaded or can no longer be reached.
Initially, the second PDA 310, second and third laptops (312 and 316) and second device player 314 were connected to the server 302. The first smartphone 302 was previously in direct communications with the third laptop 316. Similarly, the first PDA 308 was in direct communications with the second PDA 310. The direct communication pathways were established using corresponding old addresses (denoted AOLD) for direct traffic. Subsequently, selected devices (304, 306, 308 and 310) were determined to need the protection services of the server 302. Devices 312, 314, 316 and 318 are at a level that does not require server protection.
On receiving instructions to seek protection (or other services) through the proxy system 302, each device (304, 306, 308 and 310) can perform the following: form a VPN to the network proxy, deprecate all old non-VPN IP addresses on the local network interfaces, deregister old non-VPN addresses with DNS, and delete all old non-VPN inactive addresses (optional) when inactive.
More specifically, a device (or machine) forms a VPN to the proxy. This causes the machine VPN address to register in a domain name server (DNS). All connections formed thereafter (e.g., over the VPN) are tagged as VPN-hosted connections. Thus, the connections can be discovered and deprecated easily when the machine reverts back to direct communications. Additionally, a count can be maintained of the total number of such VPN-hosted connections so that the VPN connection can be terminated (when the connection count decreases to zero) after the machine has reverted back to direct communication.
With respect to the deprecation of old non-VPN IP addresses on the local network interfaces, the machine marks non-VPN addresses on the local interfaces (e.g., addresses that were in use prior to the VPN being formed), as deprecated. This prevents new connections from being accepted or initiated on/from such addresses. Another way to prevent new connections from being formed from/to the deprecated addresses is to have the firewall block the new connections. Only one non-VPN address, the one used to form the VPN earlier, is not deprecated completely in that it is allowed to be used for reinitiating the VPN connection if the existing VPN connection disconnects while the machine is directing traffic through the proxy.
In this implementation, a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server supports a deprecate mode. The deprecate mode can be entered when a client machine sends a "DHCP Deprecate" packet to the DHCP sever. During the time the address is in deprecate mode, DHCP server does not give that particular address to any other machine. The DHCP server releases a deprecated address into a free pool of addresses for assignment to another machine when the address expires or when the client machine to which the address is assigned sends a "DHCP Release" packet for that address to the DHCP server.
The client machine deregisters its non-VPN addresses with DNS, which can be part of deprecating the address. This prevents any new connections from being initiated to the non-VPN addresses. Existing connections to a non-VPN address terminate after the address is removed from the cache maintained by the end stations that formed the connections, or not discoverable from DNS by the client machines because of its expiration from the cache of the DNS server associated with the end stations.
The client machines can choose to delete non-VPN addresses, except the one used to form the VPN connection, from the local interfaces when there are no connections active on those addresses. This can be performed by releasing the addresses through "DHCP Release" messages, for example. Alternatively, the client machines can keep these addresses until the addresses expire. Again, the address used to form the VPN connection is kept active through re-registration with DHCP if needed. In case the machine was configured with static addresses, the addresses are not deleted.
At 400, a client receives a signal associated with a need for a protection service. At 402, the client detects available remote resources of a wireless network for the service. At 404, client traffic is then routed to the selected remote resource over the wireless network. At 406, the client traffic is processed by the remote resource to protect the client.
If at 600 the triggering event, as checked at 602, is not for entering proxy mode, flow is from 602 to 618 to check if the event indicates that another connection on a non-VPN address has terminated, in which case flow is to 612. This check for termination of the non-VPN address is made only if the client is in proxy mode. If the triggering event is not for termination of connection on a non-VPN address but instead indicates that the proxy mode is to be discontinued, flow is from 618 to the flow diagram of
Over time, the machines that redirected traffic to/from the network proxy, no longer need the remote service. In other words, the machines receive the needed patches or have the correct IPS software installed, or the risk has been alleviated due to some other means, and the machines revert to direct communications.
The above can be accomplished, for the case where the addresses were acquired from DHCP, by renewing the non-expired addresses with the DHCP server, if the addresses were obtained earlier from the DHCP server. If the addresses had been previously deleted, or had expired, the client machine can obtain new addresses from the DHCP server. This process of renewing or acquiring addresses results in the addresses getting registered with DNS. At 702, the VPN-acquired address is deprecated so that no new connection gets formed on the VPN. The VPN-acquired address is deprecated, though the VPN itself is not terminated. No new traffic is accepted over the VPN. At 704, the VPN is terminated when there are no connections active over the VPN. This results in the VPN-acquired address of the host getting deleted from DNS.
Following is a description of one or more implementations where clients are roaming, and a mechanism is provided for discovering and electing a client to act as a server for the protection of one or more other clients. Accordingly,
Consider an example where a group of four employees (and associated machines 902, 904, 906 and 908) are attending a security conference. As per a conference policy, for example, it is required that certain protective shields be in place on the attendee computers or similar devices (902, 904, 906 and 908) before the machines or devices (902, 904, 906 and 908) are allowed to be brought online to the conference network (denoted NETWORK). It should be understood that the machines or devices (902, 904, 906 and 908) can be those that run an OS and/or variations of that OS (e.g., a desktop versus a PDA versus a smartphone). Conventionally, the employee machines or devices that were not equipped with the proper security software would be vulnerable to attacks after connecting to the NETWORK, especially from known published exploits.
Utilizing the disclosed architecture, only one protected machine 908 of the group of employee machines (902, 904, 906 and 908) needs to be equipped with the proper security software for providing protection against known exploits for the other machines (902, 904 and 906). Accordingly, the other unprotected machines (902, 904 and 906) can redirect machine traffic through the protected machine 908 to mount an effective protective shield against attacks defended by that service.
The leveraging of the one machine 908 of a group of friendly machines (e.g., a peer arrangement) to mount an effective security shield for the other machines or devices will now be addressed.
Machines (902, 904, 906 and 908) that are equipped with one or more components of the disclosed architecture can advertise an ad-hoc network when outside of a managed network such as an enterprise network. The network type can be determined by a network location service in a client OS, for example. One way of determining the network type is to query a user whenever a new wireless network is detected, or alternatively, to attach to the new network, and then check for the presence of an enterprise-only server such as a domain controller. Alternatively, or in combination therewith, authentication can be made to the domain controller if the machine is a member of a domain hosted by the enterprise.
A machine (e.g., machine 908) can advertise an ad-hoc network named "dynamically shield", for example, while attached to an infrastructure access point (IAP) 910, if the machine 908 supports both infrastructure and ad-hoc modes concurrently (this can be a single radio or multiple radios). This can be connected to the AP (or base station) of the Internet service provider (ISP) on a WLAN or WWAN that connects the client machine 908 to the larger network (NETWORK), such as the Internet. A machine (e.g., machine 908) that does not support concurrent mode can disconnect from the infrastructure AP 910 to which it is connected, to advertise the ad-hoc network, and obtain the benefits through another machine that does support concurrent mode. Even if the machine 908 supports concurrent mode, a conservative security policy may require immediate disconnect from the infrastructure AP 910 of a potential risky network such as in a public hotspot (e.g., of a coffee shop) if some particular protective shield is missing.
A machine (902, 904 or 906) that needs to use the services of a proxy (machine 908) to acquire a security shield can form an ad-hoc network (e.g., with IEEE 802.1x security) with the other machines advertising the "dynamically shield" network. The machines (902, 904 and 906) on the shielded network can exchange security and other resource capabilities information over the ad-hoc network. Resource capabilities information can include the following: OS running on the machine; active security software available on the machine; CPU, memory, other hardware resource information; whether the machine can act as a relay AP with network address translation (NAT) capability (e.g., machine 908); and the willingness to become a proxy. A relay AP acts as an AP for clients, while connecting to an infrastructure AP 910 as a client machine. The relay AP relays received client traffic to the infrastructure AP 910.
Once the machine resource capabilities are assessed, at least one machine (e.g., machine 908) can be elected to be the proxy server. After a machine seeking protective services (a "seeking" machine) receives the capabilities information of the various other machines of the network, the seeking machine checks the capabilities information to determine which other machines qualify as a proxy. In case only one machine qualifies such as machine 908 in this example, the single machine 908 is elected as the proxy server. In case more than one of the machines qualify, the seeking machine can use and process criteria to elect one of the other machines as the proxy. The criteria can include the consideration of factors such as the IP address of the potential proxy machine, the amount of memory or CPU available on the potential machine, or other identity or physical attributes. The criteria used can be specified by the seeking machine's security policy.
After the proxy 908 is elected, the seeking machine(s) informs the elected proxy machine of the same so that the elected proxy 908 can enter a relay AP-NAT mode. In the relay AP-NAT mode, the elected proxy 908 can provide DHCP and NAT services to the client machines. This DHCP-NAT functionality can be found in more widespread OS's. The elected proxy 908 relays non-DHCP IP network traffic onto the infrastructure AP 910, which sends the IP traffic over the larger network (NETWORK) after passing the IP traffic through the proxy security shield service(s).
Once the proxy 908 is elected and informed of service as the proxy, the seeking machines (902, 904 and 906) disconnect from the ad-hoc dynamically shielded network and connect to the proxy 908 in infrastructure wireless mode. As indicated previously, a machine supporting concurrent mode can be connected concurrently both to the infrastructure AP 910 as well as the relay AP. The seeking machines (902, 904 and 906) send the DHCP discover on the wireless link to the proxy 908 and, the proxy machine 908 acts as a DHCP server and issues a private address to each of the seeking client machines (902, 904 and 906).
The seeking client machines (902, 904 and 906) deprecate the addresses received while directly connected through the infrastructure AP 910 prior to connecting to that network through the 908 proxy. No new traffic is sent or received on these deprecated addresses. The seeking clients (902, 904 and 906) can choose to delete these addresses, through the DHCP release message, once the number of active connections formed decreases to zero, as was described supra. Finally, the seeking client machines (902, 904 and 906) send and receive traffic through the proxy 908.
Note that the elected client machine 908 may not be able to act as a server that accepts unsolicited connections for one of the protected machines because the addresses are NATed. This potential problem can be resolved by having the elected machine 908 become a Winsock proxy and the seeking clients (902, 904 and 906), as Winsock proxy clients.
When the unprotected machine that was using the elected machine as the proxy wants to revert back to direct communication, as it would when the right patch or security software is incorporated, the unprotected machine terminates the infrastructure connection to the proxy, if a relay AP/NAT, and connects directly to infrastructure AP. The unprotected machine renews the old non-expired addresses, if the addresses had been acquired prior to connecting to the elected proxy and had not deleted the old addresses earlier, or acquires new addresses.
A second host device 1212 includes a detection component 1214, routing component 1216, selection component 1218, which are similar to the respective components 102, 104 and 202, and device service and capabilities data 1220. Additionally, the second host device 1212 includes a set of three VMs 1222 (denoted VM1, VM2 and VM3). The device service and capabilities data 1220 includes information about the VMs 1222 such that this information can be made available to other machines seeking security services and/or device capabilities information for an ad-hoc network.
In accordance with VM operation, for example, the first host device 1202 can elect one of the three VMs 1222 to act as the proxy. Moreover, two of the VMs 1222 can receive protection services from the elected VM. Similarly, the three VMs 1222 can obtain protection services from the first host device 1202, should this device 1202 be elected as the proxy. In an alternate embodiment, each of the VMs 1222 can have its own detection component 1214, routing component 1216, selection component 1218, and the device service and capabilities data 1220. Operations described above with respect to old and new addressing still apply, as well as traffic routing and redirection, for example. Each VM can be considered as a remote component, device, or machine relative to another VM. Similarly, each VM can be considered as a remote component, device, or machine relative to the first host device 1202.
As used in this application, the terms "component" and "system" are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component can be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, a hard disk drive, multiple storage drives (of optical and/or magnetic storage medium), an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components can reside within a process and/or thread of execution, and a component can be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
In yet another implementation, the cost-benefit component 1302 can be employed to determine which remote system to select based on network access, existing loading of processes running on a potential machine for election as a proxy, how far away the candidate proxy machine is, etc. If the risk is high to use an initially-favored candidate for proxy, cost-benefit analysis can signal re-selection and election of a different remote machine, for example. These are just a few examples for which cost-benefit analysis can be employed to enhance the architecture.
Referring now to
Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the inventive methods can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor computer systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.
The illustrated aspects may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where certain tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
A computer typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital video disk (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer.
With reference again to
The system bus 1408 can be any of several types of bus structure that may further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. The system memory 1406 includes read-only memory (ROM) 1410 and random access memory (RAM) 1412. A basic input/output system (BIOS) is stored in a non-volatile memory 1410 such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, which BIOS contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 1402, such as during start-up. The RAM 1412 can also include a high-speed RAM such as static RAM for caching data.
The computer 1402 further includes an internal hard disk drive (HDD) 1414 (e.g., EIDE, SATA), which internal hard disk drive 1414 may also be configured for external use in a suitable chassis (not shown), a magnetic floppy disk drive (FDD) 1416, (e.g., to read from or write to a removable diskette 1418) and an optical disk drive 1420, (e.g., reading a CD-ROM disk 1422 or, to read from or write to other high capacity optical media such as the DVD). The hard disk drive 1414, magnetic disk drive 1416 and optical disk drive 1420 can be connected to the system bus 1408 by a hard disk drive interface 1424, a magnetic disk drive interface 1426 and an optical drive interface 1428, respectively. The interface 1424 for external drive implementations includes at least one or both of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 interface technologies.
The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, and so forth. For the computer 1402, the drives and media accommodate the storage of any data in a suitable digital format. Although the description of computer-readable media above refers to a HDD, a removable magnetic diskette, and a removable optical media such as a CD or DVD, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of media which are readable by a computer, such as zip drives, magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, cartridges, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment, and further, that any such media may contain computer-executable instructions for performing novel methods of the disclosed architecture.
A number of program modules can be stored in the drives and RAM 1412, including an operating system 1430, one or more application programs 1432, other program modules 1434 and program data 1436. All or portions of the operating system, applications, modules, and/or data can also be cached in the RAM 1412. It is to be appreciated that the disclosed architecture can be implemented with various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems.
The system 1402 can be the host device 104, where the programs 1432 and/or other modules 1434 include the detection component 102, routing component 110, selection component 202, device service and capabilities data (1210 and 1220), virtual machines 1222, trigger events 1300 and cost-benefit component 1302, for example. In the case of virtual machines 1222, the operating system 1430 can be duplicated for each virtual machine 1222 but running on different images for isolation purposes. Additionally, selected subsystems and components of system 1402 can be utilized in a various combinations to provide similar capabilities as the devices 306, 308 and 310 of
A user can enter commands and information into the computer 1402 through one or more wire/wireless input devices, for example, a keyboard 1438 and a pointing device, such as a mouse 1440. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, an IR remote control, a joystick, a game pad, a stylus pen, touch screen, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 1404 through an input device interface 1442 that is coupled to the system bus 1408, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, etc.
A monitor 1444 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 1408 via an interface, such as a video adapter 1446. In addition to the monitor 1444, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.
The computer 1402 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections via wire and/or wireless communications to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer(s) 1448. The remote computer(s) 1448 can be a workstation, a server computer, a router, a personal computer, portable computer, microprocessor-based entertainment appliance, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 1402, although, for purposes of brevity, only a memory/storage device 1450 is illustrated. The logical connections depicted include wire/wireless connectivity to a local area network (LAN) 1452 and/or larger networks, for example, a wide area network (WAN) 1454. Such LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices and companies, and facilitate enterprise-wide computer networks, such as intranets, all of which may connect to a global communications network, for example, the Internet.
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 1402 is connected to the local network 1452 through a wire and/or wireless communication network interface or adapter 1456. The adaptor 1456 may facilitate wire or wireless communication to the LAN 1452, which may also include a wireless access point disposed thereon for communicating with the wireless adaptor 1456.
When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 1402 can include a modem 1458, or is connected to a communications server on the WAN 1454, or has other means for establishing communications over the WAN 1454, such as by way of the Internet. The modem 1458, which can be internal or external and a wire and/or wireless device, is connected to the system bus 1408 via the serial port interface 1442. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 1402, or portions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device 1450. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.
The computer 1402 is operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, for example, a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag (e.g., a kiosk, news stand, restroom), and telephone. This includes at least Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices.
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from a couch at home, a bed in a hotel room, or a conference room at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology similar to that used in a cell phone that enables such devices, for example, computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.11x (a, b, g, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wire networks (which use IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet).
Referring now to
The system 1500 also includes one or more server(s) 1504. The server(s) 1504 can also be hardware and/or software (e.g., threads, processes, computing devices). The servers 1504 can house threads to perform transformations by employing the architecture, for example. One possible communication between a client 1502 and a server 1504 can be in the form of a data packet adapted to be transmitted between two or more computer processes. The data packet may include a cookie and/or associated contextual information, for example. The system 1500 includes a communication framework 1506 (e.g., a global communication network such as the Internet) that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 1502 and the server(s) 1504.
Communications can be facilitated via a wire (including optical fiber) and/or wireless technology. The client(s) 1502 are operatively connected to one or more client data store(s) 1508 that can be employed to store information local to the client(s) 1502 (e.g., cookie(s) and/or associated contextual information). Similarly, the server(s) 1504 are operatively connected to one or more server data store(s) 1510 that can be employed to store information local to the servers 1504.
The clients 1502 can include the host devices 104, remote systems 204, devices 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, 314, 316 and 318, of
What has been described above includes examples of the disclosed architecture. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components and/or methodologies, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations are possible. Accordingly, the novel architecture is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term "includes" is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.
