  • Method and system for operating system identification in a network based security monitoring solution
    Patent number: 8635697
    Abstract: A method and system for providing network based malware detection in a service provider network is disclosed. Transmission control protocol (TCP) packets defining originating from an access device coupled to the service provider network defining a TCP session between a computing device coupled to the access device, and a destination coupled to the service provider network are received. An operating system identifier (OS ID) associated with the TCP session and the computing device is determined. If malware is present in the TCP session and an associated malware ID is determined by comparing a malware signature to the one or more TCP packets. An alert identifying a network address associated with the access device, the malware ID and the OS ID associated with TCP session that generated the alert can then be generated.
