System and method of spoof detection
Abstract:
Managing a network environment to identify spoofed packets is disclosed. A method includes analyzing, via a first capture agent, packets processed by a first environment in a network associated with a first host, and analyzing, via a second capture agent, packets processed by a second environment in the network associated with a second host. The method includes collecting the first data and the second data at a collector and generating a topological map of the network and a history of network activity associated with the first environment and the second environment. The method includes extracting network data from a packet and comparing the extracted network data with stored network data in the database. When the comparison indicates that the extracted network data does not match the stored network data (i.e., the reported source does not match an expected source for the packet), determining that the packet is a spoofed packet.
