Default What tool for dynamic I.P filtering

Hi
Do you remember portsentry for Linux?. It could be used to dynamically add rules to your firewall ruleset so that, for instance, the I.P of some machine that had port scanned you would be blocked.
What tool would you recommend for doing this with pf?
Thank you very much for any replies

Per the PF User's Guide's section on anchors (link & highlight are mine...):
Quote:
In addition to the main ruleset, PF can also evaluate sub rulesets. Since sub rulesets can be manipulated on the fly by using pfctl(8), they provide a convenient way of dynamically altering an active ruleset. Whereas a table is used to hold a dynamic list of addresses, a sub ruleset is used to hold a dynamic set of rules. A sub ruleset is attached to the main ruleset by using an anchor.
No third-party tool is needed.
