Question
Which of the following responses from a firewall indicates that a port is open and actively listening for connections?
Select one:
- a. RST
- b. FIN
- c. SYN-ACK
- d. ACK
Solution
The response from a firewall that indicates that a port is open and actively listening for connections is c. SYN-ACK.
Here's why:
a. RST (Reset) - This is sent by the host to reject a connection. It is not an indication of an open port.
b. FIN (Finish) - This is used to close a connection. It is not an indication of an open port.
c. SYN-ACK (Synchronize-Acknowledgement) - This is sent by the host in response to a SYN request (a request to open a connection) from the client. This indicates that the host is open and ready to establish a connection, hence an open port.
d. ACK (Acknowledgement) - This is sent by the client after receiving a SYN-ACK from the host, to acknowledge the response of the host. It is not an indication of an open port.
