It's shareware/freeware from NFR. You can get UNIX source code for
it, or a Windows-32 version from:

BOF isn't really an intrusion detection system - it's a scan alert
for Back Orifice. It can spoof some services and will beep up a
storm if someone runs a port scan or probe on your machine. Mostly,
it exists to give people a good idea of how often they are scanned
by script-kiddies.
