Hi,

Whenever someone tries a portscan or http server vulnerability scan on my system, I have to manually add their ip in my /etc/ipfw.conf file such as:
add 100 deny all from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx to any

Is there a way, without enabling blackhole, to dynamically add ips to my blacklist after a certain packet/sec limit or some other way?

Thanks,
Nicolas.

Portsentry is probably your best bet. It is probably the easiest effective security tool I have used for doing things of this nature. It will detect port scanning and utilize tcp wrappers to block that the offending IP. Installation is a breeze, it's in security section of ports!
