Abstract

An intrusion signature describing an attack is stored on a computer. Once a plurality of internet protocol packets is received, the plurality of internet protocol packets collectively containing an information sequence within a series of states, it is rearranged so as to place the information sequence in order. Each state of the series of states is then successively examined so as to correlate the information sequence to the intrusion signature.
