Abstract
A method, computer program product, and device for detecting a reconnaissance of a network through the identification of the information flowing from the network to external sources are provided. The method may include monitoring the information flowing from the network to external sources in order to identify what properties may have been revealed to a potential attacker. The method may include monitoring a response of the network to an inquiry from an external source, determining potential properties of the network that may have been revealed from the response, storing the potential properties in a data repository, and determining a possible reconnaissance of the network based on the properties stored in the data repository. Determining the potential properties of the network revealed by the response may include comparing the response to one or more information templates. Each information template may be associated with one or more properties of the network.
