Abstract
Network evasion and misinformation detection are disclosed. Techniques are provided for network security, including determining whether a particular packet, segment, frame, or other data encapsulation has been retransmitted. By detecting and tracking retransmits, the packet may be compared to the original packet to determine whether an attack exists. By evaluating the original data stream and a copy of the original data stream modified with the retransmitted packet, an evasion or misinformation attempt may be detected, invoking pattern or signature matching to determine whether an attack is attempted against a target host.
