  • Patent number: 12088593
    Abstract: Information is received from a first networked device for a first user and from a second networked device for a second user. The first user and the second user are verified and registered. A first set of data for the first user and a second set of data for the second user that each specify one or more network parameters per network address that communicates with each user are received from a networked collector device. Addresses are selected from each of the first set and the second set where each of the one or more network parameters are above a first activity threshold level for that parameter. A first set and a second set of first level activity addresses are produced. A whitelist is generated for the first user from an intersection of the first set of first level activity addresses and the second set of first level activity addresses.

  • Patent number: 8176169
    Abstract: A method of visualizing network data includes parsing a collection of packets in accordance with a set of categories related to characteristics of the collection of packets, the categories including listings of categorical elements, wherein at least some of the categorical elements are selectable by a user. When a categorical element is selected by a user, the collection of packets is filtered in accordance with the selected categorical element. Alongside each categorical element is a selectable count value that is indicative of the number of discrete communications sessions in which an associated categorical element is present in the collection of packets. When the count value is selected, a session view or views is/are created for each respective session, with content payload available for review and viewing.

  • Publication number: 20100046391
    Abstract: A system for, and method of, extracting information from multiple sessions and in accordance with disparate protocols, and transforming the same into a common language. Packets are collected by packet collectors distributed throughout a network and those packets, and/or metadata relating to those packets, are passed to an aggregator, which is made available via an application program interface to users/applications.
