#Portspoof

Effective defense against port scanners

Short description:

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
• Lightweight and fast
