  • Patent number: 11943250
    Abstract: A testing device (10) transmits a test packet that increases processing load to a device protected by a security system, the security system performing authentication of a packet transmitted to a to-be-protected device and a packet limit per source IP address. In addition, the testing device (10) generates a test session according to a scenario when transmitting the test packet and configures a packet so that the test packet uses a plurality of source IP addresses. In addition, the testing device (10) responds to a response request up to a predetermined stage of authentication among a plurality of stages of authentication performed by the security system so that the security system authenticates the test packet to be valid. In addition, the testing device (10) monitors, at a predetermined stage, packet filtering situation and processing load of the security system to which the test packet is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11115427
    Abstract: An acquiring unit acquires a packet indicating flow information that is output by a network device at a predetermined sampling rate, and a determining unit determines as abnormal, for each of predetermined traffic patterns, when a sampling error rate is equal to or lower than a predetermined upper limit value and the number of packets acquired in a predetermined count period preceding from a current time or an average value of the number of packets per unit time is equal to or higher than a predetermined detection threshold.

  • Publication number: 20200351304
    Abstract: A monitoring device (10) monitors traffic of a network. The monitoring device (10) collects at least one of first information, which is information concerning a first packet transmitted to an address not used in the Internet, and second information, which is information concerning a second packet transmitted to a specific destination set as a decoy. The monitoring device (10) determines, based on information concerning the traffic monitored by the monitoring device (10) and the information collected by monitoring device (10), whether an attack occurs.

  • Patent number: 10735564
    Abstract: A flow information analysis apparatus receives flow information containing a header sample, determines whether the header sample of the flow information matches any of templates that are based on tunneling protocols, and when determining that the header sample matches any of the templates, extract information on a header of the IP packet from the header sample on the basis of the matched template. Further, when determining that the header sample does not match any of the templates, the flow information analysis apparatus extracts information on the header of the IP packet from the header sample on the basis of a result of a search through the header sample for a byte sequence that matches search data in which a value that is set in a specific field of the tunnel header and a value that is set in a specific field of the IP packet are combined.

  • Patent number: 10728281
    Abstract: A connection control apparatus is configured such that a connection count calculator calculates a TCP connection count, which is the number of TCP connections established between a server and one or more clients on a network, of each of servers on the network. The connection control apparatus is configured such that, when a determiner determines that the calculated count is larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, an anomalous connection detector detects anomalous connection, and a packet controller controls packet transmission and reception over the anomalous connection.
