Port knocking is an interesting method of protecting your machine. If
you're a debian user apt-get install knockd - comes with a fairly simple
configuration file as well.
The only problem with this is generating the knock sequences, especially
when you are out and about and on a foreign machine (can still be done
using the venerable telnet for syn packets but netcat or nemesis would be
better).
