Question re Snort alert
-
I have noticed that my Snort log shows a similar entry every morning at around 2:30- 3:00 am on my LAN interface (see screenshot below)
The strange thing is that when I check DHCP leases, there is no listing for the source address of 192.168.88.20. So I am not sure what is generating this alert
Is this alert a false positive of some sort? Or is it something that I need to be concerned about?

I have answered part of my own question. I used nmap to discover that the device in question is an Amazon Fire TV - not sure why it does not show up on the DHCP lease list.
However, I am not sure if these alerts are something to be concerned about? They seem to be DNS queries for a site with a .pw TLD. I am not sure why an Amazon Fire TV would be trying to access such a domain.
