Dynamic computer network with variable identity parameters

A computer network, comprising:

• a plurality of computing devices including a first computing device configured to communicate a data packet to at least a second computing device, said data packet comprising payload data and header data, said header data including a plurality of identity parameters that uniquely identify hardware and software of at least one of said first and second computing devices;
• a plurality of modules distributed at a plurality of locations in said computer network for intercepting said data packet that is communicated, including
• a first module disposed at a first location configured to dynamically modify at said first location a plurality of true values of said header data, which correctly represent said plurality of identity parameters, and to transform said true values to a plurality of false values, which incorrectly represent said plurality of identity parameters;
• a second module disposed at a second location different from said first location in said computer network configured to dynamically modify at said second location, said plurality of identity parameters in said data packet, to transform said plurality of false values back to said true values;
• and
• wherein each of said plurality of modules is configured to dynamically determine when it is to perform as one of said first module and said second module whereby a position of at least one of said first and second locations within the computer network is dynamically varied.

A module for use at one of a plurality of locations in a computer network for intercepting a data packet that is communicated between at least a first computing device and a second computing device, the module comprising;

• a non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing system, cause the module to perform a method, comprising
• dynamically determining if said module is to perform
• a first transformation which transforms a plurality of true values in header data of the data packet that correctly represent a plurality of identity parameters uniquely identifying hardware and software of at least one of the first and second computing devices, to a plurality of false values which incorrectly represent said plurality of identity parameters, or
• a second transformation that transforms a plurality of said false values in header data of said data packet back to said true values;
• performing at least one of said first and second transformation;
• and
• performing said dynamically determining step in coordination with a plurality of other said modules in said computer network so that a location where at least one of said first transformation and said second transformation is performed is dynamically varied within said computer network.
