Methods and apparatus for monitoring local network traffic on local network segments and resolving detected security and network management problems occurring on those segments
A system for providing network security through manipulating data connections and connection attempts over a data-packet-network between at least two network nodes is provided. The system includes a system host machine, a first software application residing on the host machine for detecting and monitoring connection activity, a data store for storing connection related data, and a second software application for emulating one or more end nodes of the connections or connection attempts. In a preferred embodiment the system uses the detection software to detect one or more pre-defined states associated with a particular connection or connection attempt including states associated with data content transferred there over and performs at least one packet generation and insertion action triggered by the detected state or states, the packet or packets emulating one or more end nodes of the connection or connection attempt to cause preemption or resolution of the detected state or states.
