Sorry. I was not lucid enough. I wanted to know if there wa an interface
for shorewall to execute a deny rule based on port scans without user
input. Dynamic blacklisting as I understand here is input by the user.
Am I right? Portsentry has settings where by portsentry automatically
creates a drop target chain for a specific IP from which it has detected
a portscan.
