What is agDosPortStatsNullScanAttack?

This Counter32 detects TCP packets with sequence number zero and all control bits cleared—a signature of null-scan reconnaissance. Network engineers use this to identify port scanning activity. Example: clusters of these packets indicate active network reconnaissance within a specific time window.

Examples
