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.

SEE ALSO

     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>.
