Greetings,
responses you got (confirmed by other list members) are not
portscans. Port 27015 is usually used by a Half-Life [game] server running
the Counterstrike mod :-)
So, someone was under the wrong impression that you were running a game
server and tried to connect until you denied the connection with your
portsentry response.
Re: your tactics to report every port scan to the authorities of the ISP
- I disagree with it, since not every port scan (like in this case) is a
port scan. This adds to the overhead some ISP sysadmins get during normal
working hours. I am not sure that portscanning has been announced by law a
crime or misdemeanor (unless portscanning interferes with the normal
conduct of your business and such causes financial damages). Correct me
here if I am wrong. At least not yet. Personnaly in my spare time I prefer
finding/fighting spam mail abusers.
Regards,
Denis R.
ex-ISP sysadmin
