    All, 
    
    I'm looking for something that uses state machines (or something simular,
    state machines are my first guess)  to aid in log analysis.
    
    I'm thinking of things like the ssh CRC32 attack compensator exploit 
    (several years old, but... ) where log event A means nothing unless log 
    event B and C are seen as well (which mean nothing without A).
    
    Does anyone have any pointers to tools that look at logs in this way?
    
    Jim
