REAL-TIME SCANNING OF IP ADDRESSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031377 titled 'REAL-TIME SCANNING OF IP ADDRESSES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for providing real-time scanning of IP addresses. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The system receives input for real-time IP scanning.
  • Based on the input, the system generates one or more work orders.
  • A scanner associated with the system accesses a work order and tries to communicate with devices identified in the work order.
  • If the communication with a device is successful, a protocol analyzer provides a predefined payload to the device.
  • If the response from the device matches an expected string, the device is determined to be safe and/or legitimate.
  • If the response from the device does not match an expected string, the device is determined to be a malicious device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network security: The real-time scanning of IP addresses can help identify and detect malicious devices on a network, enhancing network security.
  • Device management: By scanning IP addresses in real-time, the system can assist in managing and monitoring devices connected to a network.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Malware detection: The system helps identify and flag malicious devices, allowing for prompt action to mitigate potential threats.
  • Unauthorized access prevention: Real-time scanning helps identify unauthorized devices on a network, preventing potential security breaches.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced network security: By quickly identifying and flagging malicious devices, the system helps protect the network from potential threats.
  • Efficient device management: Real-time scanning allows for proactive monitoring and management of devices, ensuring network integrity and performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods of providing real-time scanning of ip addresses. in aspects, input may be received by a real-time ip scanning system. the system may generate one or more work orders based on the input. a scanner associated with the system may access a work order and attempt to communicate with one or more devices identified by the work order. if the attempted communication with a device is successful, a protocol analyzer may be used to provide a predefined payload to the device. if the response from the device matches an expected string, the device may be determined to be a safe and/or legitimate device. if the response from the device does not match an expected string, the device may be determined to be a malicious device.
