Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: at least one server, via at least one hardware processor, to generate electrical signals to represent at least one compressed variable-length countermeasures string for insertion into a network transmission response to a client that has attempted to gain access to secure content and to vary at least a length of the at least one compressed variable-length countermeasures string among a network transmission response to the client, a payload portion of the compressed variable-length countermeasures string to be based, at least in part, on whether one or more characters of an attack string are in common with a browser cookie, the at least one compressed variable-length countermeasures string, and a padding string, to be inserted into network transmission responses comprising one or more cookies, the padding string to be varied in length at increments of network transmission responses.
