Abstract
The ability to identify a specific machine associated with activity taking place on the Internet is provided. This involves recording the association between MAC addresses, which are uniquely associated with endpoints, and local IP addresses, the recording of the association between local IP addresses and port numbers with public IP addresses and port numbers, and the recording of public IP addresses and source port numbers associated with public activity. By recording this information and correlating it, in real-time or in a post-processing step, the specific machine associated with public activity can be determined.
