Selected Answer: D
PSAD (Port Scan Attack Detector): This is a tool used to analyze iptables (Linux firewall) logs. It detects port scans and suspicious traffic. It generates alerts and can trigger automatic actions. Although it is more common on Linux systems, there are versions/implementations that allow you to analyze logs remotely in Windows environments, for example via centralized syslog. Incorrect alternatives: A. Nmap: Port scanning and network mapping tool, does not analyze iptables logs. B. Hping: TCP/IP packet generation tool used for network testing and attacks, not for log analysis. C. NetRanger: Old Cisco IDS, does not analyze iptables logs, and does not run on modern Windows.

PSAD (Port Scan Attack Detector) PSAD is a security tool that analyzes iptables log messages to detect port scans, suspicious traffic, and potential intrusion attempts. While it is primarily designed for Linux systems, it can be configured to work with logs forwarded to a Windows system for analysis. It provides alerts and can be integrated with intrusion detection systems.
