Short description:
2012-08-04 11:28:52 +00:00
The portspoof program is designed to enhance OS security through emulation of legitimate service signatures on otherwise closed ports.
It is meant to be a lightweight, fast, portable and secure addition to the any firewall system or security infrastructure.
The general goal of the program is to make the port scanning software (Nmap/Unicornscan/etc) process slow and output very difficult to interpret,
thus making the attack reconnaissance phase a challenging and bothersome task.
General benefits of using this software are:
- Protection against well known port scanners (all scanning results are chaotic and difficult to interpret)
- Possibility to use your current firewall rules to decide for which hosts "port spoofing" applies

- Port scanning detection functionality
