Network & Systems Cloaking

The Melior iSecure System cloaks your entire infrastructure
against information gathering (probing).

A distinct iSecure feature which augments its (Distributed) Denial-of-Service protection is iSecure’s unique capability of repulsing hacking probes with erroneous information that leave the attacker without the information required for carrying out an attack on specific ports or Opearating Systems, and Firewalls.  The iSecure system responds to network probing with “all 65,535 ports open”, which is a unique feature compared to all known dDoS and firewall products. iSecure cannot be directly attacked as it has no IP address, but as the In-Line Scanner (ILS) intercepts and inspects all traffic geared towards the infrastructure it protects, even the most sophisticated probing tools, such as the well-known NMAP scanner, cannot gather any usable information from iSecure, and reports back the highest level of difficulty to the probing intruder (NMAP gives its highest score of 9,999,999, or “good luck” as the probing result).

Samples:
Scan of
standard firewalled network - Result
Scan of iSecure-protected network - Result

This response to probing tools slows down the information gathering process for the intruder and makes it invalid (while at the same time the intruder scan has to log the results of ‘open’ for all probed or full 65,535 TCP and UDP ports), which allows any Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to log and trace the intrusion attempt, and allows for more effective trace-backs and counter-attack actions.

Every firewall product in the market can be easily mapped to determine which ports are open and easily compromised by vulnerability testing - but iSecure gives no information away, and leaves the attacker completely in the dark about the systems you are protecting.

With this cloaking feature, Melior’s iSecure ILS:

  • Cloaks your entire network and all systems behind iSecure
  • Allows you to add reliable signature files to your IDS
    and determine when and by whom your infrastructure is being scanned for vulnerabilities
  • Gives you a tool to actively counter-attack intrusion attempts in conjunction with your Intrusion Detection System
  • Gives you unprecedented (and unrivaled) protection for your infrastructure
