Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a new rule to detect automated reconnaissance and SSH scanning directed at the external WAN interface of MikroTik edge routers. It utilizes parsed firewall logs to identify dropped TCP connections targeting port 22, which is indicative of internet background radiation or targeted brute-force setup phases.

Changelog

Example Log Event

{
  "in_interface": "ether5[WAN]",
  "dst_port": 22,
