    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a network device configured to receive an anomaly database of a first image that stores a set of differences between the first image and a base image. The network device is configured to compare the anomaly database of the first image with an anomaly database of a second image storing a set of differences between the second image and the base image to determine if the first and second images include at least one incompatible critical feature or incompatible non-critical feature. The network device is configured to send a signal associated with a first action if the first and second images include the at least one incompatible critical feature. The network device is configured to send a signal associated with a second action different from the first action if the first and second images include the at least one incompatible non-critical feature.

    Abstract: The disclosed method for tunneling socket calls across operating systems may include (1) intercepting a socket call issued by an application running on a first operating system, (2) determining that the socket call is directed to a network interface that is (A) accessible to a second operating system installed on a virtual machine running on the first operating system and (B) inaccessible to the first operating system and then, in response to determining that the socket call is directed to the network interface, (3) tunneling the socket call to the second operating system installed on the virtual machine, and (4) executing the socket call within the second operating system to initiate at least one networking action with respect to the network interface on behalf of the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
