Point taken. I think there's something really smart about combining a port
listener with a personal firewall. Maybe it's too geeky for the masses, but
I like the notion of combining the otherwise silent protection of port
blocking with the feedback of a port listener. If Black Ice did the right
thing with the GUI, it may well be a winner.

Try out one of my tools: PortSentry

http://www.psionic.com/abacus/portsentry

It's a Unix only port listener and active defense systems. When it detects
a scan it blocks the host and reports the problem. No fuss, no problems,
and no charge (because it's free).
