I've not seen a SYN coming from the remote host in this situation. However, since the ACK triggers a RESET from my local system this might be the reason. It's not likely though since the ACK and SYN should have been sent at the same time and I should have seen it arrive. It's too bad I cannot reproduce the issue when testing manually with netcat and hping2.
I agree with you on the ACK and SYN timing stuff, but, again, I don't think the ACK|SYN would be separate in the first place.
I don't know what these remote hosts are running. I've seen the issue with different hosts on the same network. It could be an active device in front of the real servers acting this way..
Hmm.. do your results change when using options like --data-length (or maybe -f)? I'm not sure if that would help any, but it might narrow it down some. I can hope, right? :) Is it hosts *only* on this particular network? Have you had these results anywhere else? Have you scanned from different networks? Thanks, Kris Katterjohn
