RE: help with interpreting log

["Bob Konigsberg" <bobkberg () networkeval com>]

This is fairly normal (read ignore) for hotmail, and a number of other
sites.  What it refers to is the use of %20 type encoding for some
characters - then embedded in other encoding.

If all you're seeing is the client traffic - meaning that YOU don't have the
server, then don't worry.  At least that's been my experience.  I used to
get floods of these things.

Subject: [Snort-users] help with interpreting log

for example I have these type logs from hotmail
 
[**] (http_inspect) DOUBLE DECODING ATTACK [**]

what more should I include for someone to shed light on an example log?
Is this something to be concerned about other than the fact that it is
hotmail for example?

I also have entries that start with:
[**] (portscan) Open Port [**]

Looks like a connection started by someone within my network.
What is the best way to start to get info on interpreting logs?
