Port Scan Attack Detector

PSAD is a collection of four lightweight system daemons (in Perl and C) designed to work with iptables to detect port scans. It features: * a set of highly configurable danger thresholds (with sensible defaults provided); * verbose alert messages that include the source, destination, scanned port range, beginning and end times, TCP flags, and corresponding Nmap options; * reverse DNS information; * alerts via email; * automatic blocking of offending IP addresses via dynamic firewall configuration. When combined with fwsnort and the iptables string match extension, PSAD is capable of detecting many attacks described in the Snort rule set that involve application layer data.

Installation of latest psad command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, Kali, Fedora and Raspbian. You can copy the command for your OS from above and paste it into your terminal. Once you run the command it will download the 2026 latest package from the repository and install it in your computer/server.
