I wonder why that would provide anything useful though.
Main reason is to react to port scans or swiping attempts at well-known
service.
I.e. Someone (or some bot) connect to port 22, 25, 110, etc... when
there's no such service available and he/she/it gets banned.
I too am wondering whether this still makes sense today (after more that
20 years since portsentry was conceived).
Yey I'm currently tasked to replace it, with possible questions being
asked later :)
