Extremely helpful. It allows for you to have an IPS (real time reaction) or IDS (passive). Excellent design and coding, great job! As a System Administrator, you can't _live_ without this tool! I for one, am very grateful. Thank you!

Getting out of bed in the morning for many folks in this world (including myself), involves the use of coffee in preparation for the day ahead. Portsentry, and it's associated suite of tools, is something that you probably don't want forward facing machines to enter production without - and doing so might mean you don't need that cup of coffee in the morning because you no longer have a job. I've been working with Portsentry for about ten years now, and I can say there's literally nothing like blocking script kiddies in realtime while you sleep tight, knowing that for all but the most targeted penetration attempts, you're protected!
