In a communication infrastructure, an intermediate node supports delivery of packets from source devices to destination devices if the source device contains no notorious content (e.g., malware or illegal content, services or distribution). The intermediate node, e.g., a switch, router, access point, bridge or gateway, contains a plurality of predefined templates and corresponding quarantine service functions. By comparing packets received with the plurality of predefined templates and associated logic, the intermediate node identifies notorious source devices such as a notorious server and notorious content. Templates target at least a portion of one or more of a domain name, IP address or URL, for example. Once identified, local and/or remote quarantine service functionality attempts to neutralize, warn, remove and/or block the notorious content at both the source and destination devices. Warnings may include human challenges to prevent malware override.
