"INTERPRET THE DATA ON YOUR FIREWALL REPORT
PROBLEM: As a ZoneAlarm personal firewall user, you've turned on "unauthorized connection" logging but need a way to easily analyze and interpret the logged data.
SOLUTION: The free tool ZoneLog Analyser displays and analyzes the log produced by ZoneAlarm 2.1.10 and later cgi.zdnet.com. Double-clicking on any entry brings up a details screen from which you can get information on domain names or IP addresses. You can arrange log entries by type, date, time, source, host name, port, destination, and transport. You can view all entries, or you can filter by date and time; port (source and destination); address; and type (group), such as unknown, harmless, attack, DoS, scan, Trojan, and outgoing. It produces an IP/port analysis report that can be sorted by IP address, hit count, or host name. It also includes an Attack Analyzer mode and an Activity Summary graph with statistics like total hits, most active day, and most active source." |
