A system and method for locating signatures in packets is disclosed. The method may include receiving a packet over the network and searching the packet for a signature at locations specified in a location cache. When the signature is found at a stored location specified in the location cache, pertinent data located after the signature is obtained and network testing processing is performed. When the signature is not found at any stored location specified in the location cache, the packet is searched for the signature. When the signature is found, the location at which the signature is found is added to the location cache. Pertinent data located after the signature is obtained and network testing processing is performed. The method may be performed by a network testing system and by a computing device having a virtual machine. |
