Publication number: 20120218901Abstract: An apparatus and method for enhancing the infrastructure of a network such as the Internet is disclosed. A packet interceptor/processor apparatus is coupled with the network so as to be able to intercept and process packets flowing over the network. Further, the apparatus provides external connectivity to other devices that wish to intercept packets as well. The apparatus applies one or more rules to the intercepted packets which execute one or more functions on a dynamically specified portion of the packet and take one or more actions with the packets. The apparatus is capable of analyzing any portion of the packet including the header and payload. Actions include releasing the packet unmodified, deleting the packet, modifying the packet, logging/storing information about the packet or forwarding the packet to an external device for subsequent processing. Further, the rules may be dynamically modified by the external devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Inventors: Peder J. Jungck, Matthew Donald Drown, Sean M.

Patent number: 7844740Abstract: A method of transferring a compressed web page over a computer network without affecting the existing web server applications and processes. The compressor intercepts a request from a workstation for the web page. A second request is transmitted to the server from the compressor for the original, uncompressed web page. The web page is selectively compressed in the compressor. Then the compressed web page is transmitted to the workstation. Optionally, some of the files associated web page, such as image files, are also compressed and the references to the compressed associated files is changed to reflect any change in the name of the compressed associated files.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: CloudShield Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Peder J.

Publication number: 20100142382Abstract: A system for the identification of patterns in stateful transactions may include a message interceptor, a message pattern processor, a message handler, and a memory. The message interceptor may be operative to intercept messages transmitted by a first device over a network to a recipient. The message interceptor may be operative to intercept the messages before the messages are received by the recipient. The message pattern processor may be operative to add the message to a message pattern and store the message pattern in a memory. The message pattern processor may compare the message pattern to a plurality of exemplary message patterns and identify when the message pattern matches at least one of the exemplary message patterns. The message handler may be operative to determine an action to take with respect to the message based on the at least one matching exemplary message pattern identified by the message pattern processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: Peder J.

Patent number: 7437482Abstract: An apparatus and method for enhancing the infrastructure of a network such as the Internet is disclosed. Multiple edge servers and edge caches are provided at the edge of the network so as to cover and monitor all points of presence. The edge servers selectively intercept domain name translation requests generated by downstream clients, coupled to the monitored points of presence, to subscribing Web servers and provide translations which either enhance content delivery services or redirect the requesting client to the edge cache to make its content requests. Further, network traffic monitoring is provided in order to detect malicious or otherwise unauthorized data transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Cloudshield Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Peder J.

Patent number: 7428618Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a bi-directional dataflow are disclosed which permits the transparent movement of data from one processor to another via a shared memory fabric which is connected with both processors. This permits the incoming data of a first processor to be utilized by a second processor thereby freeing that processor from having to handle incoming data. Further, the second processor can handle outgoing data exclusively, freeing the first processor from having to handle outgoing data. In this way, each direction of a bi-directional dataflow may be handled by the maximum capability of a bi-directional capable processing device. The shared memory may comprise a plurality of banks of synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) devices, and may be used to store packet data in a network.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Cloudshield Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Zahid Najam, Peder J.

Patent number: 7318144Abstract: An apparatus and method for interfacing a processor to one or more co-processors interface provides a dual ported memory to be used as a message passing buffer between the processor and the co-processors. Both the processor and co-processors can connect asynchronously to the dual ported memory. Control logic monitors activity by the processor to alert the co-processors of communications by the processor written to the memory and otherwise allows the processor and co-processors to think they are interfacing directly with one another.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Cloudshield Teechnologies, Inc.Inventors: Zahid Najam, Peder J.

Patent number: 7114008Abstract: An architecture for intercepting and processing packets from a network is disclosed. The architecture provides both stateful and stateless processing of packets in the bi-directional network flow. Further, stateless processing is provided by a parallel arrangement of network processors while stateful processing is provided by a serial arrangement of network processors. The architecture permits leveraging existing bi-directional devices to process packets in a uni-directional flow, thereby increasing the throughput of the device. The ability to share state among the stateless processor, among the stateful processors of each packet flow direction and between the stateless and stateful processors provides for dynamic adaptability and analysis of both historical and bi-directional packet activity.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2001Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Cloudshield Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peder J.
