> > Try Portsentry, you'll get it on freshmeat.                                     
                                                                                    
This will work great...you will find somebody                                       
scanning your machine. However when mr.joe hacker                                   
starts up his scanner which has SOME intelligence (                                 
it launches attacks based on what ports are open only)                              
you have every exploit in the planet now flying at you.
