Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 1:
2. The apparatus of claim 1, where the trigger module is further configured to deliberately generate at least one of i) a first spoofed transmission communication and ii) a first response communication with falsified identity information to imitate a network address of a first device sending legitimate communications to a second device on the network, and where the trigger module is configured to deliberately generate the first spoofed transmission or the first response communication to also have some information or characteristic that makes a reply by the second device on the network to this spoofed communication uniquely identifiable from any legitimate communications between the first device and the second device, where the tracking module is configured to identify a subsequent communication in a stream of communications between the first device and the second device that specifically corresponds back to the generated first spoofed transmission communication or the generated first spoofed response communication.
