Introduction to SYN Scanning
Explore the technique of SYN scanning in this lesson to identify open network ports efficiently. Understand the TCP handshake process and how half-open scans use SYN packets to detect active services while evading full connection detection. Gain practical knowledge on leveraging Scapy to perform stealthy port scans, enhancing your network security analysis capabilities.

Port scanning and the TCP handshake
Port scans are designed to identify which ports on a system are open and have programs actively listening to them and which are not. Scans can be performed in a variety of different ways, taking advantage of how various operating systems respond to different packets and scenarios.
As discussed in the previous lesson, the TCP handshake is ...
