Abstract
A protection module operates to analyze threats, at the protocol level (e.g., at the HTML level), by intercepting all requests that a browser engine resident in a computing device sends and receives, and the protection agent completes the requests without the help of the browser engine. And then the protection module analyzes and/or modifies the completed data before the browser engine has access to it, to, for example, display it. After performing all of its processing, removing, and/or adding any code as needed, the protection module provides the HTML content to the browser engine, and the browser engine receives responses from the protection agent as if it was speaking to an actual web server, when in fact, browser engine is speaking to an analysis engine of the protection module.
