QuestionQ357

TCP

Which of the following scan types does not establish a complete TCP connection?

  • A ACK scan
  • B FIN scan
  • C Stealth scan
  • D Idle scan
Explanation

A stealth scan is a TCP SYN, or half-open, scan. It determines whether a port is open from the SYN/ACK response and does not send the final ACK needed to complete the TCP three-way handshake, so no full TCP connection is established.
