I had a couple of ideas to throw out, if they are useless please
disregard....
1)What about a warning note on some random ports like the "this x is for
company x use only. No one else has permission to access this device. blah,
blah, blah. Disconnect now!" which would give a better legal position should
someone need to be prosecuted for doing something they shouldn't have.
Simply initiating a connection to the selected port would pump the message
out to them
(a la -> "NC -l -p x < warningfile.TXT")
This may alreay be the norm, I don't know.
2)What about tying up/closing ports during certain hours. Leave ports x,y,
and z open during buss hours but close the ones you don't need (say y, and
z) during off hours. I don't know if most firewall solutions out there allow
you to do this or not. even if they didn't a simple script could tie up the
port and feed it some periodic data (to keep from timing out) until it was
time to open them again.
If the current solutions do NOT allow timed rules, they SHOULD.
