Project Artillery is a great open source linux tool written by TrustedSec. Artillery will setup multiple ports on the Linux system and if anything touches it will automatically blacklist them (Port Scanners, etc). In addition, it monitors the filesystem for changes and emails the changes back to you. Artillery has the ability to setup a honeypot, which will give attackers and malware the appearance that specific ports are open. Once those ports are accessed, the IPs are blocked. This is a great way to filter out attackers and botnets.
It also Makes use of a Global Blacklists and we would have the ability of integrating our own.
Replace PortSentry with Artillery
