A prefiltering method and apparatus for prefiltering a data stream for pattern matching are provided. The prefiltering method includes: receiving a data stream; loading previously stored filtering policies; filtering the data stream according to the loaded filtering policies and generating additional filtering information regarding the filtered data stream; determining whether to transmit the data stream to a search engine apparatus that performs pattern matching based on the additional filtering information; and transmitting the data stream to the search engine apparatus if the data stream is determined as requiring transmission. Therefore, it is possible to provide a high-performance pattern matching system that can achieve a high precision of pattern matching.

A method and apparatus for storing pattern matching data and a pattern matching method using the method and apparatus are provided. The method of storing original data for pattern matching in a pattern matching apparatus includes: dividing the original data into segments of a predetermined size; performing a hash operation on each of the divided segments; determining whether or not the hash operation value of each segment causes a hash collision with a hash operation value stored in a first external memory disposed outside the pattern matching apparatus; and controlling the hash operation value of each segment determined not to cause a hash collision to be stored in the first external memory. According to the method and apparatus, the original data desired to be used for pattern matching can be stored at a faster speed in a pattern matching data storing apparatus.

A method of storing a pattern matching policy and a method of controlling an alert message are provided. The method includes (a) generating a content structure as a sub-structure of a header combination structure of a stored traffic pattern which is a policy to be newly applied to a pattern matching apparatus; (b) determining whether a content of the stored traffic pattern is identical to a content of an original traffic pattern stored in advance in the pattern matching apparatus; (c) allocating a content index of the content of the original traffic pattern to the content of the stored traffic pattern if the content of the stored traffic pattern is identical to the content of the original traffic pattern; and (d) determining whether a header combination structure of the original traffic pattern comprises only one content structure or more than one content structure and allocating a header index of the header combination structure of the stored traffic pattern to the header combination structure of the original traffic pattern if the header combination structure of the original traffic pattern is found to comprise only one content structure. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently use hardware memories with limited storage capacities and effectively perform a pattern matching function.

The present invention relates to a real-time network attack pattern detection system and a method thereof in which a common pattern is detected in real time from packets, which are suspected to be a network attack such as Worm, to effectively block the attack. The system includes: a suspicious packet detector for classifying a suspicious attack packet from all input packets; a first data delaying unit for receiving the input packet from the suspicious packet detector to output an one-clock delayed data; a second data delaying unit for receiving an output signal from the first data delaying unit to output an one-clock delayed data; a hash key generator for receiving an output data of the suspicious packet detector, an output data of the first data delaying unit and an output data of the second data delaying unit to generate a hash key; a hash table for storing a lookup result obtained by the hash key generated from the hash key generator; and an existence & hit checker for checking the lookup result of the hash table.

The present invention relates to a network intrusion detection and prevention system. The system includes: a signature based detecting device; an anomaly behavior based detecting device; and a new signature creating and verifying device disposed between the signature based detecting device and the anomaly behavior based detecting device, wherein if the anomaly behavior based detecting device detects network-attack-suspicious packets, the new signature creating and verifying device collects and searches the detected suspicious packets for common information, and then creates a new signature on the basis of the searched common information and at the same time, verifies whether or not the created new signature is applicable to the signature based detecting device, and then registers the created new signature to the signature based detecting device if it is determined that the created new signature is applicable.

An apparatus and method for performing packet header lookup based on sequential lookup is provided. A header analyzer separates a header from a packet received via a network and outputs a lookup sequence. A unit lookup unit looks up matching the header combination rules with each field to be analyzed and input from the header analyzer based on the lookup sequence input from the header analyzer and outputs a match signal and a match address. A rule combination memory stores identification information for the header combination rules. A sequence combination memory stores lookup sequence information and sequence combination information. A rule combination unit generates match results based on the match signal input from the unit lookup unit and data read from the rule combination memory and the sequence combination memory.

A method and apparatus for storing an intrusion rule are provided. The method stores a new intrusion rule in an intrusion detection system having already stored intrusion rules, and includes: generating combinations of divisions capable of dividing the new intrusion rule into a plurality of partial intrusion rules; calculating the frequency of hash value collisions between each of the generated division combinations and the already stored intrusion rules; dividing the new intrusion rule according to the division combination which has the lowest calculated frequency of hash value collisions; and storing the divided new intrusion rule in a corresponding position of the intrusion detection system. According to the method and apparatus, the size of the storage unit occupied by the intrusion rule can be reduced, and by performing pattern matching, the performance of the intrusion detection system can be enhanced.

A method of and an apparatus for sorting data traffic based on a predetermined priority such as a bandwidth and a liveliness is provided. The method includes operations of: receiving the data flows; sorting the data flows based on bandwidth by defining a plurality of bandwidth ranges and classifying the sorted data flows according to the bandwidth ranges to which the bandwidth of each data flow belongs; and sorting the classified data flows based on liveliness representing frequency of occurrence of the data flows. The sorting of the classified data lows determines that the data flow which is recently received has the higher liveliness and sorts the data flows based on the determination. The method and apparatus facilitates selecting data flows which are possible hostile attack attempts from a vast amount of data traffic and allowing selective and intensive monitoring of the selected data flows.
