Autoblocking

Hi LinuxGurus,
Is there a way in linux to detect naughty activity from the outside and
autoblock that IP for a specified time?  say if someone port scans my box, i
want to deny absoultly everything for a couple days for example at first,
then if it happens again, deny for two weeks or something like that.  all
logged etc etc.....
anybody done that before?
Thanks
Matthew
