Abstract
A method for concealing threat detection and notification code in a website code base comprises maintaining at least one beacon within the website code base. Each beacon is disguised as code for a resource request, and is adapted to transmit at least one signal identifying misappropriation of the website code base. In some embodiments, a first beacon transmits a signal identifying misappropriation of the website code base, and a second beacon transmits a signal identifying tampering with the first beacon.
Claims28
A computer-implemented method of proactively detecting misappropriation of website source code, the method comprising:
- maintaining a first beacon embedded within the website source code, wherein the first beacon is adapted to transmit a first signal to a monitoring server upon execution of the website source code in at least some cases of said execution, wherein the first signal identifies a domain of a host server hosting the website source code;
- monitoring, by the monitoring server, for the first signal from the first beacon;
- responsive to detecting the first signal from the first beacon, initiating a first response action.
A method of proactively detecting misappropriation of website source code, the method comprising:
- maintaining Trojan misappropriation detection code embedded in the website source code, wherein the Trojan misappropriation detection code is adapted to incorporate domain identification data for a host server hosting the website source code into a misappropriation detection request text string for a Trojan misappropriation detection resource request upon execution of the website source code in at least some cases of said execution;
- wherein the domain identification data identifies a domain of the host server hosting the website source code;
- monitoring, by a monitoring server, for the first Trojan resource request;
- and
- responsive to detecting the Trojan resource request, initiating a first response action.
A method for concealing threat detection and notification code in a website code base, the method comprising:
- maintaining at least one beacon within the website code base, wherein the at least one beacon is adapted to transmit at least one signal identifying misappropriation of the website code base;
- wherein the at least one beacon is disguised as code for a resource request.
