snort-statgenerates statistic of scans detected by snort

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

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 . 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/5snort uses this script.

snort(8)

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>.
