## Description
22

3-
This module will attempt to initiate a TCP/IP connection with every possible port on the victim machine. It is done by sending a SYN packet and if victim replies with a SYN/ACK packet that means the port is open. Then the attacker sends a RST packet as a result victim's machine assumes that there is a communication error. So attacker now knows the state of port without a full tcp connection. Major benefit of TCP SYN scan is that most logging applications do not log the TCP/RST by default.
