However, we cannot check a specific port with ping command as ICMP belongs to the layer-2 IP layer, not layer-3 transport layer. In order to ping a specific port of a remote host, we …

Portsentry is a tool to detect port scans and log it. Once a host is targeted by an attacker, a port scan is almost always performed. PortSentry detects such scans by monitoring the unused ports on the host. Upon a connection attempt to one of the unused ports, PortSentry is alerted and has the ability to issue a number of commands in response to the scan. Installation # cd /usr/src/ # wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/sentrytools/files/latest/download
