SNORT-REP(1)

NAME
snort-rep - snort-reporting tool

SYNOPSIS
snort-rep [OPTIONS] [syslog-file]

DESCRIPTION
snort-rep is a Snort reporting tool that can produce text or HTML output from a syslog file. If syslog-file is not specified, it will use standard-input. The reports contain: Portscan summary Alert Summary by ID Alert summary by remote host and ID Alert summary by local host and ID Alert summary by local port and ID

It is designed to be used for daily e-mail reports to the system administrators (see snort-rep-mail for an example script that generates daily e-mails). All reports contain priority information (if used with Snort 1.8+) and the HTML output contains direct links to the IDS descriptions of whitehats.com.

OPTIONS
Print usage. Resolve host names. Read information from SOURCE (in addition to syslog-file). This option can be specified multiple times. If syslog-file is not specified and no --sources option is used, standard input will be read in syslog format.

SOURCE is a comma separated list of sources which may be:
    Syslog file FILE Snort "fast-alert" file FILE
Print text report (default). If both --text and --html are specified, both will be printed, separated by a line like '<<<<<' (79 times '<'). Try to fit the text report to n columns. Default: 79. Print HTML report. NET is a local network. This options can be specified more than once and can contain more than one network (comma-separated). NET must be specified as `network/mask', for example `192.168.1.0/24'. FILE contains list of local networks, as given in -l (one network per line). FILE can contain hash comments and empty lines. Remove REGEX from host names. This option is useful to make nicer host names for local hosts. Priorities greater or equal N will be considered "medium priority" (default: 7). Priorities greater or equal N will be considered "high priority" (default: 16). High-priority alerts will be pushed on the top of the reports. Try to make the reports better fit on the screen by trimming too long host-names and placing spaces in the alert descriptions so that they can be word-wrapped.
