Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing video, and more particularly to streaming of video. There is described a method and a system for performing scrubbing in a video stream of a video item selected at a media device. The video item is streamed from a server system to the media device. The method comprises dividing the selected video item into a number of segments and selecting a first snippet for each segment, which snippet is pre-buffered. The video stream of a first segment of the selected video item is played at the media device simultaneously as scrubbing to a second segment of the selected video item. When the scrubbing is done the video stream of the first segment stops and the first snippet of the second segment starts playing seamlessly.

Abstract: Technology for isolating suspicious activity on a plurality of servers for the purpose of mitigating damage (for example, unauthorized access to server data) to a network of computers and eliciting information about any suspicious clients involved in the suspicious activity. A suspicious client is identified, isolated, and permitted to continue interacting with the computer network to elicit information about the activity (for example, the identify of a suspicious client). Suspicious activity is defined by network administrators and determined using conventional techniques. The suspicious activity is isolated to prevent the suspicious client(s) from unauthorized and/or harmful actions on the network. The suspicious client(s) are permitted to resume network requests, in isolation, to covertly elicit information about the suspicious activity.
