Question 10 of 318
TCP FIN scanning is a type of stealth scanning through which the attacker sends a FIN packet to the target port. If the port is closed, the victim assumes that this packet was sent mistakenly by the attacker and sends the RST packet to the attacker. If the port is open, the FIN packet will be ignored and the port will drop the packet. Which of the following operating systems can be easily identified with the help of TCP FIN scanning?
Correct Answer: D
Windows can be easily identified with the help of TCP FIN scanning because unlike most Unix-based systems, Windows does not conform to the standard protocol behavior for handling FIN packets on open ports. When a FIN packet is sent to an open port in Windows, it responds with a RST packet instead of dropping the packet, making it easily identifiable via FIN scanning.
