  • Scalable monitor of malicious network traffic
    Patent number: 8015605
    Abstract: A monitor of malicious network traffic attaches to unused addresses and monitors communications with an active responder that has constrained-state awareness to be highly scalable. In a preferred embodiment, the active responder provides a response based only on the previous statement from the malicious source, which in most cases is sufficient to promote additional communication with the malicious source, presenting a complete record of the transaction for analysis and possible signature extraction.
