How does sfportscan work in favorite snort GUI?
The sfPortscan alert output was designed to work with unified packet logging, so it is possible to extend favorite snort GUIs to display portscan alerts and the additional information in the IP payload using the above packet characteristics. Logfile output is displayed in the following format, and explained further below:
Where does the sfportscan alert output come from?
The open port information is stored in the IP payload and contains the port that is open.
