Today was released a new beta version of 8Signs FW .

http://www.8signs.com/firewall/beta.cfm

Among other features there is one interesting indeed :

" Tarpitting "

" ...Tarpits - A "tarpit" is a trap for troublesome outsiders. Your system accepts connections but never replies and ignores disconnect requests. This can leave spammers, worms and port scanners stuck for hours, even days. Now, entries in the Ban List can be set to be tarpits. Also, block rules can become tarpits:
- when "Ban" and "Tarpit" are chosen, the rule creates a tarpit for all IPs that try to connect and match this rule. It tarpits all ports for these IPs
- when "Tarpit" is chosen but not "Ban", the rule creates a tarpit only for matching connections. It tarpits all IPs for just the selected port range.

This features has great potential and I would like to hear from people who have success with it or require changes to make it more successful (james_at_8signs.com)..."
