Methods and apparatus providing automatic signature generation and enforcement

摘要

A system inserts at least one notifying identifier in the computer system. The at least one notifying identifier provides execution information associated with the computer system. The system receives execution information from the at least one notifying identifier, the execution information identifies details associated with a traffic flow on the computer system. The system then generates a signature based on a deterministic link provided by the execution information provided by the at least one notifying identifier. The signature is utilized to prevent further damage caused to the computer system by at least one attack.

1. A method of providing computer security on a computer system, the method comprising:
inserting at least one notifying identifier in at least one computer system, the at least one notifying identifier providing execution information associated with the at least one computer system;receiving execution information from the at least one notifying identifier, the execution information identifying details associated with a traffic flow comprising a plurality of data flows on the at least one computer system;generating a signature by matching the signature against at least a portion of a data payload associated with at least one attack;identifying a common sub-string from the plurality of data payloads on the at least one computer system; andrefining the signature based on the common sub-string identified from the plurality of data payloads on the at least one computer system, the refined signature utilized to prevent further damage caused to the at least one computer system by the at least one attack.
