IDENTIFYING NETWORK APPLICATIONS USING IMAGES GENERATED FROM PAYLOAD DATA AND TIME DATA

摘要

Identifying network applications using images generated from payload data and time data. In some embodiments, a method may include capturing target payload data and target time data from a target flow of network packets between a target client application and a target server application, generating a target image from the target payload data and the target time data, and determining, based on the target image, an output including an extent to which the target image matches one of a plurality of predetermined images in order to determine a likelihood that the target client application and/or the target server application matches one of a plurality of predetermined client applications and/or one of a plurality of predetermined server applications.
