ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed for providing security for a computer network. Content sets are generated for a computer associated with the network. It is determined whether a user should be routed to the generated content sets. If it is determined that the user should be routed to the generated content sets, a generated content set is selected and the user is so routed. Various actions and events may be recorded in a logfile, and the logfile is analyzed using regular expressions.
