Abstract
A compact network cyber device may be configured to receive data frames from a network, process the received data frames based on one or more classification rules, and transmit at least a portion of those data frames back to the network. The device may comprise a wireless interface configured to transmit data based on processing of the data frames and to receive data that may comprise rules and/or other configuration instructions for the device.
Claims20
A network cyber device comprising:
- a host connector configured to physically and electrically mate with a connector mounted to a circuit board of a host network device;
- a network cable connector configured to connect to a mating connector of a data cable;
- a wireless interface configured to send and receive data via wireless communications;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the network cyber device to:
- receive, via the host connector or the network cable connector, data frames communicated via a network;
- determine, for one or more of the received data frames and based on comparison to one or more criteria of one or more classification rules, one or more matches to criteria of one or more matched rules of the one or more classification rules;
- transmit, via the other of the host connector or the network cable connector, at least a portion of the received data frames;
- and
- transmit, via the wireless interface, one or more of:
- copies of the one or more of the received data frames, or
- data based on the one or more of the received data frames.
10 more elements
A network cyber device comprising:
- a host connector configured to physically and electrically mate with a connector of a host network device, and wherein the network cyber device is configured to receive electrical power from the host network device via the connector of the host network device;
- a network cable connector configured to connect to a mating connector of a data cable;
- a wireless interface configured to send and receive data via wireless communications;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the network cyber device to:
- receive, via the host connector or the network cable connector, data frames communicated via a network;
- compare at least portions of the received data frames to one or more criteria of one or more classification rules;
- transmit, via the other of the host connector or the network cable connector, one or more of the received data frames;
- and
- transmit, via the wireless interface, data based on the comparison of the at least the portions of the received data frames to the one or more criteria of the one or more classification rules.
8 more elements
