I just wanted to report that PSAD was found not running on one of the servers (a 32-bit version of Linux).

Examining psad -S on another server, produces the following:

[+] Version: psad v2.2.3

[+] Top 50 signature matches:
"MISC Microsoft SQL Server communication attempt" (tcp), Count: 1864, Un
ique sources: 650,  Sid: 100205
"MISC MS Terminal Server communication attempt" (tcp), Count: 1346, Uniq

I might note that the server which had PSAD fail, was experiencing a HEAVY amount of ntp udp packests. Apparently the shorewall firewall permitted ntp (udp) packets, and the server was connected as a DDOS attack previously. If the counter wraps around, what happens to the program?

Anyway, looking forward to the next update.

Thank you.
