Issue: Monitor functions were being called sequentially without & operator
Result: First function (monitor_apache_logs with tail -F) blocked forever
Impact: SYN monitoring, SSH monitoring, email monitoring, etc. NEVER RAN
Before:
monitor_apache_logs # Blocks on tail -F forever
monitor_ssh_attacks # Never reached
monitor_network_attacks # Never reached
→ Only apache monitoring attempted, all others skipped
After:
monitor_apache_logs & # Runs in background, continues
monitor_ssh_attacks & # Also runs in background
monitor_network_attacks & # Now runs correctly!
→ All monitoring runs in parallel
This was the root cause of why SYN flood detection never worked.
Now monitor_network_attacks will run independently and detect SYN-RECV
connections properly.
