Portsentry does this well for me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Chad Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 1:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] portscans
I remember reading an article in Linux Journal or something like that that explained how to setup snort or some other software package to automatically detect a port scan in progress and then to automatically block any other connection attempts by that IP address. It automatically creates a block using iptables/ipchains so there is no hacking risk if they portscan you first because their IP will be blocked. That is, unless they on on DHCP / Dial-Up / or using someone else's computer as their jump-off. However, it's better than nothing. Unfortunately, I forgot what the software was, but I'm sure a good google search using some of the keywords I've mentioned will find it. Regards, Chad
