Stateful stack inspection for an anit-virus and anti-intrusion firewall system

摘要

A network traffic scanner and firewall system inspects packets for malicious contents. The system uses a stateful stack inspection method to scan network traffic at multiple levels in varying manners appropriate to the content of the traffic. The system analyzes data streams, data packages, and package contents, as well as decoding and decrypting data when applicable, to determine whether the data are malicious.
