For a lot of people who are running RedHat who aren't sophisticated
admins, PortSentry appears to be useful. Most of the probes are from
compromised boxes running automated scripts, not from individuals
actively going after a specific box. Most of the compromised boxes
have been RedHat 6.2 or older installs, with maybe an occasional other
commercial Linux.
