If you're terribly worried about scans, just install Portsentry. They'll
get one scan, then be added to /etc/hosts.deny. That will keep computer
crackers away.
As far as I'm concerned, the more unauthorized scans a machine receives
without a breach of security, the more secure it is. I like to know that
several have tried, but no one has suceeded. It's not an egotistical
thing, but something to measure the amount of security tests it has
passed.
If your security is so bad that you have to press charges for unauthorized
scans instead of making your systems so secure that scans won't show wide
open holes, then your priorities are all wrong. Use a secure OS (Linux,
OpenBSD, etc.) and keep it secure.
Regards,
Neil
