Abstract
A network monitoring device is connected to a communications network and monitors traffic transmitted to and from a server. The system stores a device fingerprint of devices identified as involved in attacks across the communications network, generates attack patterns for attacks across the communications network based on data packets transmitted or received by the devices during an attack based on the data packets corresponding to the device fingerprint, monitors data packet exchanges between the server and network devices, determines a set of transmission parameters for each of the data packet exchanges, compares the set of transmission parameters for the plurality of data packet exchanges to the attack patterns, and, responsive to determining a match between a first set of transmission parameters and an attack pattern, applies a tag to a network device communicating with the server via the data packet exchange indicating the network device is involved in an attack.
