Firewall Scripts


It's been two years since running linux. I use to have my firewall setup with a program that would ping all port scans back and then run a who is on it.

Does anyone know what program this is??

You mean that if someone nmap -D scans your box you would ping all the decoys? Now that comes in handy...
Seriously I don't think pinging back on a portscan is interesting. If you want to be notified on portscans I suggest you use a real IDS like Snort. I'm sure Snort log reporting can be ameliorated with whois info someway.
