Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for identifying unwanted data communicated via a session initiation protocol. In use, packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol are identified. Additionally, it is determined whether the packets include unwanted data. Furthermore, a reaction is performed, based on the determination.
Claims19
A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:
- identify one or more packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol;
- determine the one or more packets include unwanted data, wherein determining the one or more packets include unwanted data comprises:
- routing the one or more packets to a security system device over the network;
- and
- receiving, from the security system device, information indicative of a comparison of the one or more packets with known unwanted data;
- and
- react in response to the determination that the one or more packets include unwanted data.
A method, comprising:
- identifying, with one or more processors, one or more packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol;
- routing the one or more packets to a security system device over the network;
- receiving, from the security system device, information indicative of a comparison of the one or more packets with known unwanted data;
- and
- reacting, with the one or more processors, in response to a determination that the one or more packets include at least a portion of the known unwanted data.
A system, comprising:
- a security server adapted to execute program code to:
- receive one or more packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network, the one or more packets routed from an another device based on a determination by the another device that the one or more packets utilize a session initiation protocol;
- compare the one or more packets with known unwanted data to determine whether the one or more packets include unwanted data;
- and
- send information indicative of the comparison of the one or more packets with known unwanted data to the another device if the comparison is affirmative,
- wherein the another device can react in response to the information indicative of the comparison.
