Abstract:
Method(s) and apparatus are described for use in preventing unauthorised
redirection and/or routing of packets transmitted in a communication
network. Packets generated by one or more devices in the communications
network are intercepted by an apparatus. The intercepted packets are
inspected and it is detected whether at least one of the intercepted
packets is associated with redirection based on an unauthorised
destination. For each intercepted packet, packet and protocol inspection
may be used to determine the originally intended destination of the
packet and to determine any other destination(s) associated with
redirection of the packet. For each intercepted packet, if the any other
destination(s) are not associated with one or more authorised
destinations corresponding to the originally intended destination, then
the intercepted packet is associated with redirection to an unauthorised
destination. Those detected intercepted packets associated with
redirection based on the unauthorised destination are blocked or
corrected.Claims:
