Well, to be sure about these "invaders", you can build and setup nessus.
Nessus is more than a port scanner, you can find holes in you network, as it
tries to exploit known bugs, such as lpr and wu-ftp and others.
If you use it with tripwire, and with a good firewall (linux [ :) ], but
remember to set up also good policy!) you can stay pretty safe.
In italian we say: chi piu' ne ha piu' ne metta! (more you add, more you're
safe!)
