摘要:
Methods and systems for an intelligent network protection gateway (NPG) and network architecture are provided. According to one embodiment, a firewall provides network-layer protection to internal hosts against unauthorized access by hosts of an external network by performing network address translation (NAT) processing of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The firewall changes data in headers of VoIP packets and corresponding data contents of the VoIP packets, to enable bi-directional VoIP communications. An external VoIP interface of the firewall receives incoming VoIP packets having a user alias (e.g., an email address) and an indication regarding a VoIP port of external interface. The packets are directed to an appropriate internal host by the firewall performing port address forwarding based on the port indication to a Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) media gateway within the internal network that maintains a mapping of user aliases to private addresses of the internal hosts.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide circuits and methods for improved virus processing. As one example, such methods may include providing a system memory, a general purpose processor and a virus co-processor. The methods further include receiving a data segment at the general purpose processor, and storing the data segment to the system memory using virtual addresses. The data segment is accessed from the system memory by the virus co-processor using the virtual addresses. The virus co-processor then scans the data segment for viruses and returns a result.

Methods and systems for an intelligent network protection gateway (NPG) are provided. According to one embodiment, a firewall prevents unauthorized network-lawyer access to internal hosts by hosts of an external network by performing network address translation (NAT) processing of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The firewall changes data in headers of VoIP packets and corresponding data contents of the VoIP packets, to enable bi-directional VoIP communications. An external VoIP interface of the firewall facilitates concurrent management of multiple incoming VoIP calls by providing multiple VoIP ports and advertising multiple IP address/VoIP port pairs corresponding to internal hosts. When incoming VoIP packets are received, the packets are directed to an appropriate internal host by the firewall performing port forwarding based on a port indication contained within the packets to a server or gatekeeper within the internal network that maintains a mapping of user aliases to private addresses of the internal hosts.

A device for detecting network traffic content is provided. The device includes a processor configured to receive a signature associated with content desired to be detected, and execute one or more functions based on the signature to determine whether network traffic content matches the content desired to be detected. The signature is defined by one or more predicates. A computer readable medium for use to detect network traffic content is also provided. The computer readable medium includes a memory storing one or more signatures, each of the one or more signatures associated with content desired to be detected. Each of the one or more signatures is defined by one or more predicates, and each of the one or more predicates can be compiled into a byte code stream that controls a logic of a network traffic screening device.

A method and apparatus for managing a transfer of data in a data network identifies data associated with a communication session between a first node and a second node in the data network. Further processing of the communication session occurs when a portion of the communication session meets a criterion and the communication session is permitted to continue when the portion of the communication session does not meet the criterion.

A method of updating a content detection module includes obtaining content detection data, and transmitting the content detection data to a content detection module, wherein the transmitting is performed not in response to a request from the content detection module. A method of sending content detection data includes obtaining content detection data, selecting an update station from a plurality of update stations, and sending the content detection data to the selected update station. A method of building a content detection system includes establishing a first communication link between a central station and an update station, the central station configured to transmit content detection data to the update station, and establishing a second communication link between the update station and a content detection module.

A method for categorizing network traffic content includes determining a first characterization of the network traffic content determining a first probability of accuracy associated with the first characterization, and categorizing the network traffic content based at least in part on the first characterization and the first probability of accuracy. A method for use in a process to categorize network traffic content includes obtaining a plurality of data, each of the plurality of data representing a probability of accuracy of a characterization of network traffic content, and associating each of the plurality of data with a technique for characterizing network traffic content. A method for categorizing network traffic content includes determining a characterization of the network traffic content, determining a weight value associated with the characterization, and categorizing network traffic content based at least in part on the characterization of the network traffic content and the weight value.

Systems and methods for tracking electronic messages and data are provided. According to one embodiment, a linking object insertion routine identifies an electronic mail (email) message as a candidate for user feedback based on the email message having been previously classified as spam by a real-time email spam scanning routine associated with a commercial anti-spam service. The linking object insertion routine facilitates user submission of the user feedback regarding the email message to the commercial anti-spam service by embedding a linking object within the email message. The linking object is configured to automate communication of one or more digital signatures of the email message generated by the real-time email spam scanning routine to the commercial anti-spam service by performing out-of-band signaling with the commercial anti-spam service.

A method for managing network traffic flow is provided. The method includes receiving network traffic content, storing at least a portion of the network traffic content to a memory, sending a copy of the network traffic content to a processor, which determines whether the network traffic content contains content desired to be detected. Another method for managing network traffic flow includes receiving network traffic content, flagging the network traffic content, sending the flagged network traffic content to a module, which is configured to pass unflagged data to a user and prevent flagged data from being sent to the user, and sending a copy of the network traffic content to a processor, which determines whether the network traffic content contains content desired to be detected.
