I figured out a way, long ago, to use CHX to make it so i could close my important ports, and then run a open webserver, and if i visited a certain page, CHX would see the URL and recognise it, then i would trigger it to open the ports for that IP address... Im looking to do that again for my security, but as far as i know CHX-i is not defunked and not supported and old. Is there anything like this that i can close my ports, and be anywhere and open them simply by going to a web page with a special url or something? Thanks
CHX-I is no longer developed, but that doesn't make it useless, far from it. CHX-I 3.0 is probably what you used. It's around, someone here posted a link not too long ago. I would use it. The only other one anything like CHX might be 8Signs, but I have no idea if it could do what you're describing.... http://www.8signs.com/
Hi, With Look 'n' Stop 2.06p2 and SPF Rules, it is possible to implement a port knocking mechanism. With this mechanism, an incoming connection from a remote machine will be accepted only if a sequence of several packets with certain ports is sent first. If you are interested in that mechanism, I can give more details in Look 'n' Stop forum, with this kind of SPF rules and an application sample which sends the corresponding port sequence.

TECHWG, sad to see you go. In case your still reading, you may want to check here: http://www.portknocking.org/view/ http://www.portknocking.org/view/implementations Or get a *nix OS
Thanks for the info, it seems most port knocking has been knocked on the head since 2004, almost like some group dont want people to have it or something ! I dont know whats up with that... Thanks for the link though.
