摘要： Techniques are described for blocking unidentified encrypted communication sessions. In one embodiment, a device includes an interface to receive a packet, an application identification module to attempt to identify an application associated with the packet, an encryption detection module to determine whether the packet is encrypted when the application identification module is unable to identify an application associated with the packet, and an attack detection module to determine whether the packet is associated with a network attack, to forward the packet when the packet is not associated with a network attack, and to take a response when the packet is associated with a network attack, wherein the encryption detection module sends a message to the attack detection module that indicates whether the packet is encrypted, wherein when the message indicates that packet is encrypted, the attack detection module determines that the packet is associated with a network attack.

摘要： An intrusion detection system (“IDS”) device is described that includes a flow analysis module to receive a first packet flow from a client and to receive a second packet flow from a server. The IDS includes a forwarding component to send the first packet flow to the server and the second packet flow to the client and a stateful inspection engine to apply one or more sets of patterns to the first packet flow to determine whether the first packet flow represents a network attack. The IDS also includes an application identification module to perform an initial identification of a type of software application and communication protocol associated with the first packet flow and to reevaluate the identification of the type of software application and protocol according to the second packet flow. The IDS may help eliminate false positive and false negative attack identifications.

摘要： This disclosure describes techniques for determining whether network traffic contains one or more computer security threats. In order to determine whether a symbol stream conforms to the symbol pattern, a security device stores a full deterministic finite automaton (fDFA) that accepts streams of symbols that conform to the symbol pattern. The security device also creates a partial deterministic finite automaton (pDFA) that includes nodes that correspond to the nodes in the fDFA that have the highest visitation levels. The security device processes each symbol in the symbol stream using the pDFA until a symbol causes the pDFA to transition to a failure node or to an accepting node. If the symbol causes the pDFA to transition to the failure node, the security device processes the symbol and subsequent symbols in the symbol stream using the fDFA.

摘要： This disclosure describes techniques for determining whether a network session originates from an automated software agent. In one example, a network device, such as a router, includes a network interface to receive packets of a network session, a bot detection module to calculate a plurality of scores for network session data based on a plurality of metrics, wherein each of the metrics corresponds to a characteristic of a network session originated by an automated software agent, to produce an aggregate score from an aggregate of the plurality of scores, and to determine that the network session is originated by an automated software agent when the aggregate score exceeds a threshold, and an attack detection module to perform a programmed response when the network session is determined to be originated by an automated software agent. Each score represents a likelihood that the network session is originated by an automated software agent.

摘要： A method includes receiving a data unit, determining whether a current state, associated with a deterministic finite automata (DFA) that includes a portion of states in a bitmap and a remaining portion of states in a DFA table, is a bitmap state or not, and determining whether a value corresponding to the data unit is greater than a threshold value, when it is determined that the current state is not a bitmap state. The method further includes determining whether the current state is insensitive, when it is determined that the value corresponding to the data unit is greater than the threshold value, where insensitive means that each next state is a same state for the current state, and selecting a default state, as a next state for the current, when it is determined that the current state is insensitive.

摘要： In general, the invention is directed to techniques of identifying an infected network device in a computer network where traffic to and from the infected network device is not necessarily routed through a single point on the computer network. For example, individual line cards in network devices count incoming network flows from network devices in host tables. The host tables of all line cards of all participating network devices are then correlated. It is then determined whether the number of flows from a network device outweighs the number of flows to the network device to a significant degree. If so, the network device may be considered suspicious. Packets from a suspicious network device may be rerouted to a network security device for more thorough inspection.

摘要： A network security device performs a three-stage analysis of traffic to identify malicious clients. In one example, a device includes an attack detection module to, during a first stage, monitor network connections to a protected network device, during a second stage, to monitor a plurality of types of transactions for the plurality of network sessions when a parameter for the connections exceeds a connection threshold, and during a third stage, to monitor communications associated with network addresses from which transactions of the at least one of type of transactions originate when a parameter associated with the at least one type of transactions exceeds a transaction-type threshold. The device executes a programmed action with respect to at least one of the network addresses when the transactions of the at least one of the plurality of types of transactions originating from the at least one network address exceeds a client-transaction threshold.
