Method for detecting and mitigating malicious network data
The patent US12058156B2 outlines a method for securing data over a communication network by detecting and mitigating malicious data transmitted via a router. The process begins with the detection of communication data, followed by an anomaly detection procedure aimed at identifying potentially harmful data. This method generates a list of candidate Internet Protocol (IP) addresses suspected of sending malicious data, which is then sent to the router. Additional telemetry data, including parameters such as source and destination IP addresses and port numbers, is collected to refine the list of candidates into verified attackers. The method also involves generating attack signatures to identify port scanning traffic and sending these signatures back to the router for enhanced security.
Further enhancements to the method include increasing the sampling rate of packets from the candidate IP addresses and monitoring the frequency of specific IP addresses appearing in the candidate list. The anomaly detection process can also involve measuring echo requests and synchronizing acknowledgment messages from specific source IP addresses. Notably, the method accommodates scenarios where malicious data originates from IP addresses behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) system, allowing for the detection of legitimate traffic and the creation of specific packet signatures to block port scanning activities. The communication with the router is facilitated through a software-defined network protocol, such as Netconf, ensuring efficient configuration and response to potential threats.
