Abstract:
1. A device for detecting network traffic content, the device comprising: a housing, and a first network input port and a second network input port associated with the housing and a transmitter connected to the first network input port, a compiler for compiling the one or more signatures from the first language into a byte stream that controls the logic of a processor to determine whether network traffic content matches content desired to be detected based on the compiled one or more signatures; the processor located within the housing, the processor configured to process the compiled one or more signatures and the data to determine whether the network traffic content matches the content desired to be detected, a network output port configured to couple the device to a computer system of an intended recipient of the network traffic content, the network output port dedicated to passing the network traffic content to the computer system when it is determined that the network traffic content does not match the content desired to be detected; and wherein the first network input port, the second network input port, and the network output port are each distinct network ports.
