Abstract
A method for preventing abnormal application activity is provided. Packets are retrieved from a packet buffer using packet location information corresponding to information associated with the abnormal application activity in a data processing system. The packets are analyzed to identify content of the network packets causing the abnormal application activity. Network packets containing the content causing the abnormal application activity in the data processing system are blocked.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method for preventing abnormal application activity, the computer-implemented method comprising:
