SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CATEGORIZING NETWORK TRAFFIC CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method of categorizing network traffic content comprising:
- receiving network traffic content in a network traffic content categorization module;
performing analysis on the network traffic content within the network traffic content categorization module according to at least one analysis technique to obtain at least one categorization of the network traffic content, the at least one analysis performed as a function of a database of known categorization properties of network traffic content; and
storing, by the network traffic content categorization module, a representation of the categorization and data derived from the network traffic content.

Abstract
A method for categorizing network traffic content includes determining a first characterization of the network traffic content determining a first probability of accuracy associated with the first characterization, and categorizing the network traffic content based at least in part on the first characterization and the first probability of accuracy. A method for use in a process to categorize network traffic content includes obtaining a plurality of data, each of the plurality of data representing a probability of accuracy of a characterization of network traffic content, and associating each of the plurality of data with a technique for characterizing network traffic content. A method for categorizing network traffic content includes determining a characterization of the network traffic content, determining a weight value associated with the characterization, and categorizing network traffic content based at least in part on the characterization of the network traffic content and the weight value.

10. A method of screening network traffic content comprising:
-
receiving network traffic content in a network traffic content screening module; performing analysis on the network traffic content within the network traffic content screening module according to at least one analysis technique to obtain at least one categorization of the network traffic content, the at least one analysis performed as a function of a database of known categorization properties of network traffic content; determining, based on the at least one categorization of the network traffic content, whether the network traffic content is undesirable content; when the network traffic content is undesirable content, preventing the undesirable content from reaching its destination; and otherwise allowing the network traffic content to pass. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
