A method, system, and apparatus of network artifact identification and extraction are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes aggregating a payload data (e.g., may be a component of the extracted artifact) from different network packets to form an aggregated payload data, matching the payload data with an entry of a library of known artifacts, determining a type of the payload data based on a match with the entry of the library of known artifacts, separating the payload data from a header data in a network packet, and communicating the aggregated payload data as an extracted artifact to a user. The method may include using the extracted artifact to perform network visibility analysis of users on packets flowing across the network. The method may validate that the entry is accurate by performing a deeper analysis of the payload data with the entry of the library of known artifacts.

Method and apparatus of network artifact indentification and extraction

A system and method of presentation of an extracted artifact based on an indexing technique are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes indexing a database of a captured network characteristic data using a processor and a memory to form an indexed capture data. The method includes enhancing a query response time with the indexed capture data. The method further includes searching the indexed capture data to generate a capture query result. The capture query result includes an extracted artifact. The method also includes graphically presenting the capture query result as at least one of an artifact list and an artifact image.

Presentation of an extracted artifact based on an indexing technique

Methods and a system of capture and regeneration of a network data using a virtual software switch are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method includes capturing a network data using a virtual software switch, a processor, and a memory. The network data is captured to perform a network visibility analysis and the network data is communicated to at least one port of the virtual software switch. The method includes forming a stored network data in a memory. The method also includes regenerating the stored network data to form a reconstructed data.
