Explanation:

: “Check Point Malicious Activity Detection” (CPMAD) is a handy log analyzer. This feature aids in
detection of unusual, potentially dangerous activities across a range of firewall modules. It can be
used to detect 8 types of attacks, they are: syn attacks, anti spoofing, successive alerts, port
scanning, blocked connections port scanning, login failure, successive multiple connections, land
attack. See page 406-407 of Syngress Book “Checkpoint NG – Next Generation Security
Administration”.
Note : CPMAD has been replaced by SmartDefense which currently protects against many more
than 8 types of attack.
