NAME

     snort-stat — generates statistic of scans detected by snort

SYNOPSIS

     cat /var/log/auth.log | /usr/sbin/snort-stat

DESCRIPTION

     snort-stat is a small script that generates a nice statistic on the port scans that were
     detected by snort and reported via /var/log/snort/alert.log.  The output of this script is
     mailed to a user that is setup in /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf.  The cron script
     /etc/cron.daily/5snort uses this script.

     snort(8)

AUTHORS

     The script is mostly based on the snort-stat from Yen-Ming Chen <chenym+@CMU.EDU>.  The
     hostname resolving, the big shrinkage and this manpage were done by Christian Hammers
     <ch@debian.org>.
