Patent ID: 8196204

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of data operable to configure a computer system to perform a set of acts comprising: a. receiving a malicious communication from an attacker; b. loading: i. a plurality of data element libraries; and ii. a disruptive communication template, the disruptive communication template comprising one or more placeholder data entries, each of the placeholder data entries identifying a corresponding data element library from the plurality of data element libraries; c. in response to receiving the malicious communication, determining a disruptive communication to send to the attacker, wherein determining the disruptive communication to send to the attacker comprises, for each placeholder data entry in the disruptive communication template, adding a data element from the corresponding data element library to the disruptive communication; and d. sending the disruptive communication to the attacker; e. detecting whether the disruptive communication interferes with an operation pattern for the attacker; wherein the operation pattern for the attacker comprises: i. sending a first malicious communication to a first device in a computer system; and, ii. sending a second malicious communication to a second device in the computer system; and wherein detecting whether the disruptive communication interferes with the operation pattern comprises detecting whether the attacker sends a third malicious communication to a third device in the computer system.
