Describe the bug
The long connection detection is applied to broadcast addresses. Broadcast addresses don't have connections in the traditional sense of exchanging data. So this alert is wrong.

Broadcast packets can happen for a long time for the same IP and ports, but it doesn't mean is one connection.

2024-12-01T16:58:00.116733+00:00 (TW 1): Src IP 192.168.1.184 . Detected Long Connection. Connection from 192.168.1.184 to destination address: 255.255.255.255 took 44 mins threat level: low.

To Reproduce

  1. It was a private capture

Expected behavior
Not to trigger this alert.
