A method for protecting endpoints from network attacks is provided. The method includes blocking a first data unit, in response to matching a portion of the first data unit to a specified exploit pattern, the matching occurring at a layer of a communication model below an application layer. The method includes collecting attributes of the first data unit at the application layer and blocking at least one further data, in response to the at least one further data unit matching at the application layer a subset of the collected attributes of the first data unit.
