Zeek Connection refers to the log data generated by the Zeek network security monitoring platform, capturing detailed information about network connections. This log (conn.log) includes metadata about each connection observed on the network, such as source and destination IP addresses, port numbers, protocols (TCP, UDP, etc.), connection state, and duration. It provides critical insights into network activity, helping to monitor traffic patterns, detect suspicious connections, and enhance overall network security by analyzing connection behavior in real-time or retrospectively. This data is essential for security analysts to identify anomalies, trace potential attacks, and perform threat hunting based on connection events.
