Abstract:

A system and method for deterring malicious network attacks. The system and method is configured to execute instructions on at least one of the processors to generate a plurality of random blocks of data; generate a first XOR result by using the XOR function with the plurality of random blocks of data as the XOR function inputs; generate a tail value by using the XOR function with the first XOR result and a random encryption key as the XOR function inputs; encrypt a designated file using the random encryption key; write the plurality of random blocks and tail value to at least one storage medium; and write the encrypted designated file to at least one storage medium.
