Generating and analyzing network profile data

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a memory configured to store network profile data;

a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory, configured to:

determine whether the network profile data has been transmitted to a network apparatus to prevent a duplicate of the network profile data from being transmitted to the network apparatus;

in response to determining that the network profile data has not been transmitted to the network apparatus, obtain the network profile data, wherein the network profile data comprises a set of network parameters detected by the apparatus comprising a list of incoming or outgoing connection requests from the apparatus and wherein the network profile data provides an indication of whether the apparatus is compromised;

encrypt the network profile data to generate hashed network profile data;

identify a stream of packets addressed to the network apparatus;

insert a packet comprising the hashed network profile data into the stream of packets addressed to the network apparatus; and

transmit the stream of packets comprising the packet to the network apparatus for determination of whether the apparatus is compromised by comparing the hashed network profile data with previous network profile data received from the apparatus without decrypting the encrypted network profile data.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein to transmit the hashed network profile data the processing device is further configured to:

include the hashed network profile data in existing traffic transmitted to the network apparatus.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the network apparatus comprises one of a router or a first-hop router coupled to a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN).

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the set of network parameters comprises a network address of the apparatus.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the set of network parameters comprises a network address of the router.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the set of network parameters comprises a network identifier of a network used by the apparatus to communicate with the network apparatus.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the set of network parameters comprises one or more network identifiers of one or more networks detected by the apparatus.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the set of network parameters comprises one or more device identifiers of one or more electronic devices detected by the apparatus.

9. A method, comprising:

determine whether network profile data stored in an apparatus has been transmitted to a network apparatus to prevent a duplicate of the network profile data from being transmitted to the network apparatus;

in response to determining that the network profile data has not been transmitted to the network apparatus, obtaining the network profile data, wherein the network profile data comprises a set of network parameters detected by the apparatus comprising a list of incoming or outgoing connections requests from the apparatus and wherein the network profile data provides an indication of whether the apparatus is compromised;

encrypting the network profile data to generate hashed network profile data;

identifying a stream of packets addressed to the network apparatus;

inserting a packet comprising the hashed network profile data into the stream of packets addressed to the network apparatus; and

transmitting the hashed network profile data to the network apparatus in the stream of packets for determination of whether the apparatus is compromised by comparing the hashed network profile data with previous network profile data received from the apparatus without decrypting the encrypted network profile data.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein transmitting the hashed network profile data comprises:

including the hashed network profile data in existing traffic transmitted to the network apparatus.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the network apparatus comprises a server.
