Abstract
A method of securing a network from vulnerability exploits, including the steps of a traffic analysis engine receiving a plurality of packets destined for an internal operating system; the traffic analysis engine selectively forwarding the packets to at least one virtual machine emulating the internal operating system; the virtual machine processing each forwarded packet; a rapid analysis engine identifying a malicious packet from the processed packets; and the rapid analysis engine creating a new signature to identify the malicious packet.
