In general the present invention provides for a small hand held size device that is easily kept in a pocket or purse or on a key chain. The security token will contain a microprocessor having memory function and will connect to a PC or other computing device or workstation via a USB port. Upon insertion into the open USB port of the user's remote computer, the personal network security token scans the remote computer to detect the presence of at least one or more operating applications, such as the type of anti-virus software and patch level and / or the type of operating system (OS) the remote computer is running and the patch level. Upon contacting the target network, the network will send an inquiry to the user's remote computer to determine if the personal network security token is present as well as other parameters. If the condition status of the token is “OK” then the network sends an authentication page to the user for the user to enter his or her user ID and password. If the ID and password are valid, then the user is allowed access to the network.

The system and method described herein may leverage passive and active vulnerability discovery to identify network addresses and open ports associated with connections that one or more passive scanners observed in a network and current connections that one or more active scanners enumerated in the network. The observed and enumerated current connections may be used to model trust relationships and identify exploitable weak points in the network, wherein the exploitable weak points may include hosts that have exploitable services, exploitable client software, and / or exploitable trust relationships. Furthermore, an attack that uses the modeled trust relationships to target the exploitable weak points on a selected host in the network may be simulated to enumerate remote network addresses that could compromise the network and determine an exploitation path that the enumerated remote network addresses could use to compromise the network.

Method and system for latency-independent peripheral device identification. In one embodiment, a computer system receives an interrupt from a peripheral device coupled to a computer system communications port. In response, an interrupt notification message is posted alerting a notification handler running on the system. It is determined whether the interrupt is indicates peripheral class compliance. In one embodiment, communications port device sense pin voltage is determinative. If the interrupt indicates peripheral class compliance and the communications port is inactive, the port is opened, and inquiry sent to the peripheral device via the open port. The computer system then waits for response from the peripheral device. If response is received within a predetermined time, identification is posted based on the response, including peripheral device classification information, so that a software handler registered with the operating system can handle the identification message when received. Thus, this embodiment imposes no time-critical interrupt response.

Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for testing for an open port of an endpoint device in a communication network is described. A test request message is sent from the endpoint device to a server. The test request message is configured to request the server to send a test message to a port of the endpoint device using a protocol. The port is polled for the test message during a time period. The port is indicated as being open if the test message is received by the endpoint device at the port before expiration of the time period. A connect failure message is sent to the server if the test message is not received by the endpoint device at the port before expiration of the time period. The connect failure message may be configured to request the server to send another test message to the endpoint device.

Systems and methods are disclosed for transporting multiport protocol traffic using a single-port protocol. Multiport protocol traffic from a first endpoint is converted into a single-port protocol for transport across a network. The traffic is sent over a commonly-open port and received at a second endpoint before being dispersed to the appropriate ports of the second endpoint. By converting the traffic to a single-port protocol and choosing which commonly open port to communicate the traffic through, firewalls between each endpoint may be traversed without changing any of their settings.

A method is disclosed for authenticating multiple network elements that access a network through a single network switch port. Certain authentication protocols, such as EAPoE, leave a port of a network switch indefinitely opened when one particular host is authenticated and authorized to transmit network frames through the port. In one embodiment of the invention, a network frame from a second host that is received by the open port is not automatically transmitted to the network. Instead, techniques are employed locally by the network switch to grant or deny transmission of the network frame received from the second host. An authentication server is contacted only when the network switch cannot locally employ techniques to authorize the transmission of the network frame received from the second host.
