Hello I am working on enabling sfpportscan for our Snort deployment. After enabling the preprocessor we received a HUGE amount of alerts. Investigating, the alerts showed that the alert fired when only 1 port was used. Example config in snort.conf preprocessor sfportscan: proto { all } memcap { 10000000 } sense_level { low } A screenshot is attached of the alert. Does anyone have experience with the sfpportscan preprocessor? I have read the README about whitelisting IP addresses etc... but can't find anything on what I am experiencing Thank you
