System, method, and computer program product for identifying unwanted data communicated via a session initiation protocol
View Patent ↗A system, method, and computer program product are provided for identifying unwanted data communicated via a session initiation protocol. In use, packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol are identified. Additionally, it is determined whether the packets include unwanted data. Furthermore, a reaction is performed, based on the determination.
1. A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:
identify one or more packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol;
determine the electronic message is associated with a voice over Internet Protocol session;
route the one or more packets to a security system device over the network;
receive, from the security system device, information indicative of a comparison of the one or more packets with known unwanted data;
determine from the received information that the one or more packets include unwanted data; and
react in response to the determination that the one or more packets include unwanted data.
2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the voice over Internet Protocol session utilizes the session initiation protocol for communicating the one or more packets over the network.
3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause one or more processors to identify one or more packets associated with an electronic message comprise instructions to cause the one or more processors to determine the electronic message comprises a voice message.
4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the one or more processors to identify one or more packets associated with an electronic message comprise instructions to cause the one or more processors to determine the one or more packets are received from outside the network.
5. The computer program product of claim 1 , further comprising instructions stored thereon to cause the one or more processors to determine whether the one or more packets are communicated utilizing the session initiation protocol.
6. The computer program product of claim 5 , further comprising instructions stored thereon to cause the one or more processors to compare the one or more packets with known unwanted data after it is determined that the one or more packets are communicated utilizing the session initiation protocol.
7. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the unwanted data includes malware.
8. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the unwanted data includes a malicious link.
9. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the one or more processors to react comprise instructions to cause the one or more processors to report the unwanted data.
10. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the one or more processors to react comprise instructions to cause the one or more processors to block the unwanted data.
11. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to cause the one or more processors to react comprise instructions to cause the one or more processors to block the unwanted data from reaching a user device.
12. A method, comprising:
identifying, with a processor, one or more packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol;
determining the electronic message is associated with a voice over Internet Protocol session;
routing the one or more packets to a security system device over the network;
receiving, from the security system device, information indicative of a comparison of the one or more packets with known unwanted data;
determining from the received information that the one or more packets include unwanted data; and
reacting, with the processor, in response to the determination that the one or more packets include unwanted data.
13. A system, comprising:
a network interface; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the network interface, wherein the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to each other and configured to:
identify one or more packets associated with an electronic message communicated over a network utilizing a session initiation protocol;
determine the electronic message is associated with a voice over Internet Protocol session;
route, via the network interface, the one or more packets to a security system device;
receive, from the security system device, information indicative of a comparison of the one or more packets with known unwanted data;
determine from the received information that the one or more packets include unwanted data; and
react in response to the determination that the one or more packets include unwanted data.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the security server is configured to send the one or more packets to one or more user devices over the network after it is determined that the one or more packets do not include the unwanted data.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the system comprises a voice over Internet Protocol server.
