There's been a lot of talk of on the list lately about Portsentry
(http://www.psionic.com/abacus/portsentry/). I've been using a modified
firewall script (http://ipchains.nerdherd.org/) for sometime now. I decided
based on all the traffic on the list about Portsentry to investigate it.
Do I understand correctly, that the ipchains script from
(http://ipchains.nerdherd.org/) does exactly the same thing as Portsentry
does, except the ipchains script does the redirection/denial "up front"
where the Portsentry s/w does the redirection/denial "in real time" ?
Is this correct, or have I missed something ? It would seem though the
Portsentry s/w is more robust than is the ipchains script.
Thanks for any pointers,
Mike
