The continued and growing trend of the frequency and severity of
network attacks against corporations, private individuals in
addition to countries has prompted the development of network
attack detection tools. In order to defend against threats – security
is not only required in a pre-emptive scenario, but also ex post
facto; whereby the criminal/ civil act has been detected and the
acquisition of evidence has begun in order to provide a conviction.
This project and its scripted application have been created in
response to these escalating movements towards network
vulnerability enumeration and distributed denial of service attacks
(DDoS).

There is a clear lack of network attack tool detection products for
the Linux/ UNIX operating system, and therefore this project should
also address this imbalance. Within society, the UNIX / Linux
operating system makes up an extremely minute fraction of
operating systems that are in use within the world of today
