iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j LOG --log-level warning

will log new connections to a port to syslog then

echo "kern.warning /home/user/Desktop/custom.log" >> /etc/rsyslog.d/60-custom.conf

syslog will write to your desktop.

hmmm ran into some errors, will look into those
