Hello:

I have a user on my network with a Linux box that is
performing a port scan on all the computers in my network
manually. He's doing this 'because he can'. Although I've
asked him not to, he continues to do so.

1) How can I block or inhibit port scans launched against my
freeBSD servers from within my network?

2) How can I 'hide' my freeBSD servers from users on the
network? (If they can't see them, then they don't know to
scan them.)

Thanks in advance.

Try portsentry in conjunction with logcheck, both are in the ports.

Hmm...

You could use the software firewall for all requests from his IP.

Or disconnect his network cable.

Or set up all the other machines on the network to periodically ping flood his computer to slow it down to a crawwwwwl.

Set up the dsniff tools and redirect his traffic through another machine to monitor what is going on with that machine periodically, or set up a proxy web filter on a machine and redirect traffic from his computer to go through it and filter anything and everything not related to work.

Set up another machine so it once in awhile takes his IP for a few minutes to knock him off the network.

just some ideas for practical or entertainment value.
