Abstract: A data detecting method and apparatus for a firewall device connected with a network to identify security threat in the data, where the method is implemented by a fast forwarder in the firewall device and includes: the fast forwarder receives application data; obtains application information in the received application data; determines an application protocol type corresponding to the application data according to the application information and an application identifying table; queries a configuration item for threat detection according to the application protocol type to determine whether the application data requires threat detection; and if the application data does not require threat detection, forwarding the application data. The data detecting method avoids a problem that performance of a firewall is degraded because all application data is sent to a detecting processor in the firewall device for detection, thereby improving an performance of the firewall device.

Abstract: An IPS detection processing method, a network security device and a system are disclosed. The method includes: determining, by a network security device, whether an internal network device is a client or a server; if the internal network device is the client, simplifying an IPS signature rule base to obtain an IPS signature rule base corresponding to the client, or if the internal network device is the server, simplifying the IPS signature rule base to obtain an IPS signature rule base corresponding to the server; generating a state machine according to a signature rule in the IPS signature rule base obtained through simplifying processing; and performing IPS detection on flowing-through traffic by applying the state machine. In embodiments of the present invention, the network security device performs IPS detection by adopting the state machine with a redundant state removed, thereby improving IPS detection efficiency.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for filtering a uniform resource locator (URL). According to the method, a first category corresponding to a URL connection request can be found in a pre-stored category information table; when the first category conforms to a predetermined URL passing through policy, the URL connection request is allowed to pass through; the URL connection request is forwarded to a corresponding server; a second category corresponding to a URL is determined according to web page content returned by the server; if the second category conforms to the predetermined URL passing through policy, the web page content is sent to a client; if the second category does not conform to the predetermined URL passing through policy, the web page content is blocked. A category to which a URL belongs can be determined in real time, and implementing a function of accurate category filtration.
