Circumstantial blocking of incoming network traffic containing code

摘要

An incoming network traffic manager circumstantially blocks incoming network traffic (103) containing code (107). The incoming network traffic manager (101) monitors (201) incoming network traffic (103) addressed to a target computer (105). The network traffic manager (101) detects (203) incoming network traffic (103) containing code (107). The network manager (101) blocks (205) incoming traffic (103) containing code (107) from reaching the target computer (105), responsive to circumstances being such that it is undesirable to allow incoming traffic (103) containing code (107) to reach the target computer (105).
