It can be automated. One way is illustrated on Jim Harrison's ISA web
site (http://www.isatools.org/).

I simply don't have time to add a new filter for each and every ip
address that scans the firewall.

 

Perhaps if it would allow you to create a list of them you could
update...but creating a single packet filter for every scan ive gotten
would take me hours.

Personally, I figure that a port scan on my site is someone up to no
good, and I ban the IP address (inbound). If the IP address if
resolvable and I can contact the owner, I will attempt to do so. If the
owner takes appropriate action (to my liking), I remove the packet
filter. Lately I seem to be getting a couple of scans per week. Perhaps
I should ban all incoming traffic! :-) :-) :-)

I have been getting scanned from several IP addresses that belong to C2
Media Ltd for the last three or four days. It doesn't seem to be causing
any problems but I'm curious to know what others do when they are being
scanned by the same address block. The address range is from
66.220.17.46 to 66.220.17.55. I searched for info on C2 Media Ltd and
they are a pay-per-click ad service that seems to be despised by
everyone that has come across them. This tells me writing them to
complain would be a waste of time.

 

Any suggestions on how to handle this would be great. Or should I just
not worry about it?

 

Thanks,
