Abstract
In response to a command to restrict a communication service for a computer, a countermeasures apparatus replaces the communication address of a second computer, which has been stored in a first computer, with the communication address of the countermeasures apparatus, and replaces a communication address of the first computer, which has been stored in the second computer, with the communication address of the countermeasures apparatus. Accordingly, the countermeasures apparatus acquires a packet from the first computer to the second computer and determines whether this acquired packet is to be transmitted to the second computer.
