I don't understand the logic of this security script. Either you don't want a
connection, then you keep the ports closed ( and stealth), or you need a port,
then randomly opening and closing it sounds like a bad idea to me.

Even assuming you are talking about router ports here I still fail to understand
the benefit.

Sorry for off-topic post, just too curious.
