A method for preventing suspicious activity on a computer network is described. In one embodiment, the method includes determining a first identifier of a first packet from a connection associated with network traffic, calculating a first value based at least in part on a portion of data included in the first packet, determining a second identifier of a second packet from the connection associated with the network traffic, the second identifier matching the first identifier, calculating a second value based at least in part on a portion of data included in the second packet, comparing the first value with a the second value, and determining that suspicious activity is occurring on the network based at least in part on the comparison between the first and second values. In some embodiments, the first identifier includes at least one of a sequence number and an acknowledgement number associated with the first packet.
