| 20120216285 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITNG DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACKS USING GROUP CONTROLS - A sandbox tool can cooperate with components of a secure operating system (OS) to create an isolated execution environment for accessing content without exposing other processes and resources of the computing system to the untrusted content. The sandbox tool can utilize task control groups (cgroups) of the secure OS with the isolated execution environment. A cgroup defines the hardware resources that can be accessed and utilized by the isolated execution environment. The cgroups can define accessible hardware resources by particular hardware resources, amount of hardware resources, and/or components of the hardware resources. Once a cgroup is applied to the isolated execution environment, any processes running in the isolated execution environment will be confined to the hardware resources defined by the applied cgroup. If a process running in the isolated execution environment attempts to utilize hardware resources outside the definition of the cgroup, the secure OS can block the usage. | 2012-08-23 |

If it is, the media service provider may transmit the media to a middleman server over a network (such as the Internet). A middleman server may then serve the media to the client device over a local network.

A request for authorization to use the content is then transmitted from the controlling client agent to a parental control management module. After a parental control operation has been performed on the content by the parental control management module, the agent receives a result of the parental control operation. If the result is negative, a denial of use of the content is notified in response to the request to use the content. | 2012-08-23 |
