Well,
as for blocking it, there are new features in upcoming kernel releases...
(2.2) and I think there are some in the current version..(don't remember) that
will help with alot of these types of attacks.
as for finding out where it's coming from...that depends on what type of
attack it is....alot of attacks lie about their source information...but there
are some debian packages that allow for loging all traffic that touches your
machine.
courtney : checks for satan probes...(seems to do more than that though).
iplogger : logs everything. Any tcp/udp/icmp that is directed to your machine
is logged...
If you really want to know...install those...Other than that...don't piss anyone
off... :)
