Base Claim:
1. A method for classifying content written in a non-delimited language, the method comprising: receiving a string of bytes at a finite state machine (FSM), wherein the string of bytes is received by electronic hardware associated with the FSM after a user attempts to access information related to the string of bytes; performing a string search on the string of bytes, wherein the string search identifies that the string of bytes includes a set of N-grams that match one or more states in a set of states, wherein the FSM connects the one or more states in the set of states; collecting statistical information regarding the set of N-grams received in the string of bytes, wherein the collected statistical information corresponds to a condition in a model stored in a model repository; receiving the model from the model repository; identifying that the one or more states and that one or more N-grams in the set of N-grams correspond to the received model; identifying that a length of the received string of bytes also corresponds to the condition in the received model when the length of the received string of bytes is of a certain length; classifying content of the one or more N-grams as being prohibited according to the one or more states, the one or more N-grams, and the length that corresponds to the condition; and denying access to the content when the classification of the content is prohibited, wherein denying access to the content prevents the content from being displayed on a display accessible to the user after the user attempt to access the information relating to the string of bytes.
