:>I'm using iplog 2.1.1, and I noticed the following in my logs this
:>afternoon
:>
:>May 24 12:12:28 UDP: scan/flood detected from ns.iol.ie
:>May 24 12:14:16 UDP: scan/flood mode expired for ns.iol.ie - received a
:>total of 24 packets (816 bytes).
:>
:>Now, I'm 99.999% certain that IOL are not scanning me, so presumably this
:>is just iplog being a little too anal in it's logging.
:>Does anyone have any config that I can add to my iplog.rules to tell it to
:>be a log a little less.
:>ATM, I've got it ignoring all TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic on the internal
:>network, and I'd prefer not to have to tell it to ignore all UDP traffic.
:>
:>Should I just tell it to ignore port 53/udp traffic, which is presumably
:>whats coming from ns.iol.ie ?
Afaik you can't tell iplog to stop being anal ;P
You might be able to clean up the log files with logcheck [1].
IMHO your best bet is your last option ...
