Abstract
Computer-implemented systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for causing an action to be performed in response to a network communication, such as a malicious network communication. In accordance with some embodiments, a first network communication sent from a client device is received, and a protocol used in the first network communication is determined. Once the protocol is determined, the protocol may be implemented to enable a second network communication with the client device. An action to be performed based at least in part on the protocol may be identified, and an instruction may be sent to the client device in the second network communication.
