    Security settings:
    Logging Level:High
    Allow Vpn protocols: Disabled
    Filter ip traffic over 1394: Enabled

    I have about 46 mb of text data for just one day.
    Is this a connection type other than udp or tcp?
    Or is this just an internal type of activity?
    Or Is this some type of undetectible remote connection ?

    Thanks for every person who really knows what this is, and helps.

    My regards.

    Hi!
    ACCESS means "an application was blocked because it did not have access permission"

    But you are missing the program name and the IP. The logs seems incomplete or could be a system call blocked. May be a badly set ZAPRO or with corrupted settings?

    For an help in interpreting the logs you can see here.

    Cheers,
    Fax

    Just taking a stab, but when I saw the file growth for one day, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post a link to this...
    tvDebug.log file gone nuts in ZAP .
    I'm not running ZAP any longer, so forgive me if I am way off base. :)

    This could be the case only if the OP is running a ZA 9.1 version. This issue was otherwise fixed before last summer.... :) btw, tvdebug does not contains the ZA logs as described above....

    So,

    "ACCESS" means : an application was blocked because it did not have access permission.

    That's really good for calming down.
    The interesting issue is, just the log file with "txt" extension had grown 46 mb and other day's log files are at most 8 mb. That's really weird.
    46 mb file is not tvdebug.log. İt is ZALog2010.11.12.txt.

    Yes i guess this is a system call block. But why is there no file or program name
    That's weird too. Because some of other lines contain "blocked program name"

    So we are sure that whatever this was, it was blocked. Right?
    "ACCESS,2010/11/12,17:39:24 +2:00 GMT,,N/A,N/A"

    No other possibility that access was granted.

    Thanks to all of the repliers.
