Thanks Tom (and Brian)! ________________________________ From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 10:41 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: port scan detected http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Mark, The packet filter does not contain the proper neuronal DNA sequences to influence the mind of the dirtbag who's scanning you. It typically requies something like a percussion device moving a great velocity to get through the thick skulls of those people ;-) Packet filters don't stop port scans. If you don't want them, tell your ISP to block them at the fat end of the pipe.

After creating a packet filter to block an IP, two days ago, he port scanned me again this morning. Can you explain this? Thanks.
