🌸 NAME 🌸

snort-stat — generates statistic of scans detected by snort 🕵️♀️✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cat /var/log/snort/snort.alert.fast | /usr/sbin/snort-stat

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, 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 gets mailed to the user configured in the /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf configuration file 📬 like it literally emails your person for you, no cap.

and the cron script /etc/cron.daily/0snort-common uses this script — so it's out here doing its lil job every day, main character energy fr fr 👑

the hostname resolving, the big shrinkage and this manpage were done by Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org> 🌟

no cap, credit where credit's due — these two built the vibe 💀💖
