How can you classify portscans in ACID uniqe alert screen...

["James MacKinnon" <pheonix32 () operamail com>]

Hi There,

The "unique alerts" web page displays alerts by classification. Port scans (detected by snort preprocessor) log into 
ACID fine, but are classified as "undefined".  If a classification is unavailable, ACID classifys a scan by the number 
of ports opened in 4 seconds. During long port scans this can cause a single portscan to be logged anywhere up to 20 
times in the "unique alerts" screen. 

To try and get around this I have created a custom rule with a classification and want this to be logged to acid when a 
portscan is detected.

How can I get the preprocessor to call that rule ???

Any ideas how to do this would be appreciated.

Using modified (snort 1.87)

Thanks
