1. A computer-implemented method for mitigating attacks of malicious traffic in a computer network, comprising:

  • receiving a set of attack sequences, comprising first traffic sequences suspected of containing the malicious traffic;

    analyzing the attack sequences so as to automatically extract a regular expression that matches at least a portion of the attack sequences in the set; and

    comparing second traffic sequences to the regular expression in order to identify the second traffic sequences that contain the malicious traffic.
