I guess it doesn't make sense to have a small solution that will be replaced 
later. Actually there are some projects that might do the job better:
http://www.snortsam.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/packetfence/

Give it some time and you'll see something like that in pfsense or at least as 
an installable package :-)

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Intrusion Prevention


I know that intrusion prevention is on the radar, but what are the
chances of a relatively simple version to start?

My thought was something along these lines:

If W connections are attempted through X ports within Y minutes, block
the source /24 subnet for Z minutes.

Any connection attempt that has an incoming rule defined that allows
the connection would not count against the number of attempts.

I have absolutely no ability to program this stuff (I'm a SQL guy),
and I have no idea of how difficult it would be, but I thought I'd
offer the suggestion.

Thanks for all your hard work to date!
