I make use of callcontrol, this way I can have all my portīs in
dropp/block mode even the more common one like ftp, mail and web.
But I do realise that if I want to make use of my one mail/web and ftp
server I do have to open up a litle.

I do like history, but I will read the more current ones first.

Well, in this book (Hacking Exposed, Fourth Edition printed in 2003 by
Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, and George Kurtz), I did find this about
locking traceroute to use only one particular port of youīre own desire.
Traceroute 1.4a5
(ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/netutils/traceroute/old) is what
they clamed should work, they also declare that it is a modifyed verion
of traceroute, made by Michael Schiffman 1997.
(http://www.hackingexposed.com/) is the home page of the book, my copy
is in Swedish and it is a litle difficult for me to translate it back in
to English.
