Hey all,

        Well this weekend was a particularly active weekend for the scanners..  It
appears that I have been scanned several hundred times by the same
moron.  What is the proper procedure for telling these idiots to know it
off.  I mean I know that it is coming from the aol spectrum from a
traceroute, so what's next?  Do any of you have scripts to deal with
this.  I was thinking about possibly implementing a dynamic ipchains
protocol that sees a scan and after n times blocks that idiot for a week or
so, on all ports.  Does anyone have such a beast that would like to share
that with me?  I also thought about more devious things, like nmaping the
moron and flooding his available ports..  Fight fire with fire..  Any ideas?
