SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

     snort-stat is a small script that generates a nice statistic on the alerts that were
     detected by Snort and are reported in /var/log/snort/snort.alert.fast .  The output of this
     script is mailed to the user confgured in the /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf configuration
     file.  The cron script /etc/cron.daily/0snort-common uses this script.

     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
