With FreeBSD you can toggle a couple of variables
and have it log connections to unoccupied ports.
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain=1
sysctl -w net.inet.udp.log_in_vain=1
It is an easy way to detect port scans without having
to install packet filtering.
Any chance of getting it added to OpenBSD?
Thanks,
Mike
