Portscan Protection is a tool designed to enhance the security of Linux systems by detecting and blocking IP addresses that perform rapid port scanning, which could lead to unauthorized access attempts. Its notable features include support for both iptables and nftables, systemd and cron operation modes, custom SSH port functionality, and the ability to manage whitelists and blacklists for IP addresses. The tool is easy to install and comes with automatic updates, ensuring continuous protection against port scan attacks.
