I get hundreds of port scans per day and I'm sure most of them have spoofed the src address. Know your firewall and trust it, that's all you can do.
If you insist, just run tcpdump which sees the packets prior to netfilter and filter the output thru grep looking for ip's or ports.

I'm using port sentry on my LRP box. The otherday it blocked someone attempting to access port 1080 (not used), then port 25(redirect to our mail server). He came back the next day and tried port 25 again, but he was still blocked by the firewall rules. I thought I read somewhere there is a way to capture via tcpdump some of the packet information and write it to a file or syslog when a packet is dropped. Is this possible? Can someone point me in a direction for research? I'm feeling uneasy that I don't know what this person was/is attempting. Thank you in advance. Michael Bacon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Admin.
