Protectx equivalent app for OS X?
I love this app for Windows:
http://www.plasmateksoftware.com/protectx.htm
Description, in a nutshell:
It is a hacker protection system for your PC. Whilst loaded, it constantly monitors your PC on the specified ports, and if anyone tries to connect, you are notified by an alarm, and their IP address is logged. The user will then be disconnect from your computer. ProtectX can also trace malicious users Internet Service Provider, including address, phone number and e-mail. Logs can be created to send to your ISP if anyone attempts to hack into your system so that further action can be taken
Is there a similar app for OS X?
I need a daemon that runs in the back, but when a specific event happens (i.e.; a particular port is accessed, etc) then a GUI notification windows spawns and informs me: "A connection attempt on port 23 was detected!", etc...

Mmmm. Thanks. I think I have been there before. :0)
But I was really hoping to get input and opinions on various securioty monitor apps as opposed to firewalls in general. I thought maye this topic would spark an interesting conversation. But thanks anyway.
