Over the last few weeks I've been getting numerous ports scans, each from unique hosts. The situation is more of an annoyance than anything else, but I would prefer not seeing or having to deal with an extra 20-30K entries in my logs as was the case recently. I use pf for firewalling, and while it does offer different methods (max-src-conn, max-src-conn-rate, etc.) for dealing with abusive hosts, it doesn't seem to offer much in the way of dealing with repeated blocked (non-stateful) connection attempts from a given host. Short of running something like snort, is there a suitable tool for dealing with this? If not, I'll probably resort to running a cronjob to parse the logfile and add the offending hosts manually.
