Abstract

In an information handling system for identifying resources comprising packets of data received from a network, a method comprises steps of receiving resources comprising one or more packets, each packet comprising a header and data; scanning the header and data of the one or more packets to extract identifying information relating to the resource; comparing the extracted information to a list of identifying information in a database and providing a message indicating that the extracted information matches at least one entry in the database when the comparison is positive.
