I am not sure there will be a set pattern for the days. but for now I will continue down the claim chart and move into #1 of the possible modifications.

Cenzic 232 Patent Claim 10: A method of testing a target on a network by fault injection, the method comprising: defining a transaction baseline; and  modifying an input field in the transaction baseline to obtain a modified transaction with malformed value, wherein modifying the input field comprises at least one of the following: 
1) providing alternative character encoding for a character in the transaction baseline, 

Relevant Prior Art:

1. filename="=oiso8859- 1oBoLi5cLi5cLi5cLi5cLi5cV2LuZG9

The string above is an example  of  “alternative encoding to encode a transaction field with a character that is equal in nature and different in representation.” This string can be found at the following URL:

The information concerning the string above and alternative  encoding using the Bat directory traversal was posted at least as early as January 4, 2001.  This exact prior art string appears to have been copied  by the inventors  to be used as an example of the alternative character encoding method claimed in the Cenzic ‘232 patent. The example is listed in column 7, Table 10 of the Cenzic ‘232 patent, but is not mentioned in any of the patent references.
