I recently installed a program written by Solar Designer called
"scanlogd". This is a tool which helps with the information overflow
generated by the syslog system; in short the program detects port scans and
logs them to a file/tty.
I'm pretty shocked at how hard I'm getting hit by port scans. While I
know there are not "hostile" in nature, to me they're fairly close to it.
So what I was wondering is what are the rules of net etiquette about port
scans. In short, how do others perceive and react to them?
