Your Mission

We need you to take the following steps so that we can continue to ensure peace within the galaxy:

1. Create a new directory(folder) called
   devleague_discovery
   on your computer that you will use for all files related to your analysis.


2. We have given you a download of our provided network SSH log file to download to your new directory at this link:
   SSH Log file
   


3. After you download the log file, we need you to use your Python skills to write a script that will automatically find instances of malicious activity in our logs.


4. Create a Python file named
   scanners.py
   where you will write your Python code that will read the
   ssh.log
   file from the file system


5. When running your Python script, it should create a text file named
   scanners_found.txt
   that reads all rows in the file and searches for certain text, and gives us the following summary information after analyzing the log file:
   
   
   
   • Displays a count of how many scan events occurred in the logs
   
   
   • Displays a list of all host ip addresses where the scans originated from
   
   
   • Displays a list of all host ip addresses where the scans were performed against
   
   
   
   


6. Your final report should include the
   scanners.py
   and
   scanners.txt
   files, as well as a summary of any new facts you discovered in your analysis and the procedures you took to complete the challenge.


7. If you could also make some recommendations to keep our network secure we will be able to sleep at night.


8. Provide us with the necessary report documents in a zip archive when completed.
