None of us will every accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.”

Brutus IPS

This is a home grown Intrusion Prevention System I've called Brutus. Based on Linux Portsentry, a given server listens on standard ports (say, 80 & 443) but Portsentry listens on all other ports. When these ports are touched (always the result of a portscan) Portsentry executes Brutus scripts which instruct the firewall to null-route the offending IP. Brutus was designed for PFSense but it works with Zywall and any other firewall that supports SSH, SSH keys and setting null-route via remote command.
