Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for contextual information caused to be attached to data as it passes through a series of computing devices, the contextual information relating to the series of computing devices. The data and the contextual information may then be scanned to determine if the data is a target data. In response to the identification of a target data, the contextual information may be communicated to a central repository. The contextual information may then be analyzed in relation to other information stored in the central repository to determine a target source.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention, improved capabilities are described for systems and methods that dynamically detect uncategorized web-based proxy sites and translator sites. The systems and methods may be directed at identifying a suspected proxy site, intercepting a form submission intended to be submitted to the suspected proxy site, submitting a probe in place of the intercepted form submission to the suspected proxy site wherein the probe is adapted to instruct a proxy site to direct communications to a known probe site adapted to return predetermined information as verification of interaction with the probe site, analyzing a response to the submission of the probe for the presence of the predetermined information, and upon detection of the presence of the predetermined information in the analysis, categorizing the suspected proxy site as a proxy site that is adapted to anonymize internet behavior.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for registering and categorizing content in a network. Certain embodiments provide a method for registering and categorizing content passing through a gateway in a network. The method includes registering content at a network gateway. Registering includes an initial categorization of the content according to at least one category based on at least one characteristic. The method also includes allowing delivery of the initially categorized content to at least one node based on the initial categorization. The method further includes re-categorizing the content based on additional information. Additionally, the method includes identifying, based on the at least one category and the re-categorized content, one or more nodes associated with the initially categorized content.
