Re: Server blocks access of IP after nmap scan

hello:
I'm curious what prompted this? How did the firewall block ports from being scanned by nmap?

I'd think this was pretty easily solved? If you have two NIC cards at least, you can limit everything for class_A/B/C to that specific interface, drop everything on the external interface coming from class a,b,c or loopback. But it'd still be possible I suppose to spoof an address when you sent off a
packet to get someone else blacklisted; how do people work against that?

I solved the problem - I just used the nmap firewall/IDS/IPS evasion options and I specified fragmented packets, all 
together with different scan method than the usual SYN scan. Anyway the protection mechanism on the server is pretty 
good I think, even if you try to connect on some port that is not open it bans your ip address. Good security defense, 
except if  you try to find a way to spoof the ip =).
