Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a local protocol server associated with a secure networking engine that provides client-side forwarding in a secure networking system. The local protocol server (e.g., local TCP/UDP server)—on a client device—operates based on client-side forwarding operations that include: IP assignment, operating system (OS) routing, destination network address translation, and original destination retrieval to support accessing a network resource (e.g., socket connection) on the client device and support communications between client applications on the client device and the local protocol server on the same client device. In this way, the local protocol server supports communications of a diverse set of data traffic or network traffic (e.g., different types of cross-platform communications), where the diverse set of network traffic is initially communicated from a client application and processed for network security operations at the local protocol sever of within the same client device.

Secure networking engine for a secure networking system

Techniques are described herein that are capable of updating a state of a client device using a limited event size protocol. An initial state of the client device is stored. The initial state is defined by first records that identify first respective binaries associated with the client device at a first time. A first event of multiple events, which are configured in accordance with the limited event size protocol, is received from the client device. Each event includes a respective subset of second records, which identify respective second binaries associated with the client device at a second time. The first event is parsed to identify a first subset of the second records that is included in the first event. An updated state of the client device is generated by replacing a first portion of the first records with the first subset of the second records.
