Abstract:

Security risks associated with scanning a computer are at least mitigated by performing the scanning off node. State data of a target node, or computer, can be acquired in various ways. The acquired state data can be subsequently employed to generate a virtual replica of the target computer or portion thereof on a second computer isolated from the target computer. The virtual replica of the target computer provides a scanner access to the data needed to perform a scan on the second computer without accessing or being able to impact the target computer.
