  • Monitoring network activity
    Patent number: 7594009
    Abstract: A system for analysing network traffic, particularly to detect suspect packets and identify attacks or potential attacks. Data packets which meet defined criteria are detected and their details forwarded to a database server where the details are stored so as to be accessible for use in analysis in conjunction with the details of other detected packets. Packet detection uses a tap and a packet factory which creates a packet for analysis consisting of the received packet and a unique identifier. A series of adapters are used to apply functions to different parts of the packets, to detect those meeting the criteria.
