  • Patent number: 10382595
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a data packet including a header having a structure from an operating system at a virtualization layer, where the virtualization layer is above a physical layer and below all other layers. The method also includes performing an operation on a portion of the data packet other than the header, thereby creating a modified data packet and maintaining the original header structure. The method further includes transmitting the modified data packet, including the original header structure, to the physical layer.

  • Patent number: 8095622
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a transparent means of collecting context-dependent data nested in a client-server request/response paradigm. Through the use of an embedded web server, messages are terminated between the user and the disclosure wherein the disclosure takes on the role of a web server. The disclosure then initiates a new request, based on the content of the incoming request and submits this new message to a destination system. In this latter case, the disclosure is acting in the role of a web client. The response coming back from the destination system is then terminated at the disclosure which is still acting in the role of a web client. The content of the response is used to generate a new message which is sent back to the user. In this final phase, the disclosure is acting in the role of a web server. The purpose of this interaction is to capture website structure and function—mapped together is what it termed context-dependent information.
