Abstract

A technology is described for prioritizing network packets using suspicion weights assigned to packet attributes of the network packets. An example method may include analyzing a network packet for packet attributes that have values indicating that the network packet may be associated with a potential network attack. Suspicion weights for the packet attributes identified as having a value that indicates that the network packet is associated with the potential network attack may be obtained, and a suspicion score may be calculated for the network packet using the suspicion weights.
