PortSentry A very good tool to detect and respond to port scans against a target host in real-time. It runs on TCP and UDP sockets and works on most *nix systems. Advanced stealth detection modes are available under linux only, and detect SYN, FIN, NULL, XMAS, and Oddball packet scans. All modes support real-time blocking and reporting of violations. This also interfaces very well with ipchains firewalling rules, allowing a workstation to lock out a potential hacker from the first bad port that he probes. http://www.psionic.com/abacus/portsentry
