Hello,
Does anyone know of a freeware or open source program that will monitor for unwanted attempts. (connects/scans/etc).
(not wanting to use just a syslog from the router)
Thanks,
David

David,

Personally I would choose Debian or FreeBSD snort and acid (who names these things ?).
This is a database approach to an ids so what it does is it sees and tries to parse signatures of known attacks, of course this is done according to your own configuration so your mileage may vary.
