Geographic Representation of Snort Events

Summary: A Sourcefire field engineer wrote a Perl script that takes events generated by Snort or a Sourcefire appliance and maps them using Google Earth. The script is documented in a write-up on Leon's blog, which includes an example relating to worm activity, and a copy is available on Jason's site.

Why it matters: The post shows intrusion events being placed on a map with a free tool and a short script, which changes how quickly a responder can see where worm activity is concentrated rather than reading it line by line in an event log.
