Scanning Defintion - discovering systems on the network and looking at what ports are open as well as
applications that may be running
Connectionless Communication - UDP packets are sent without creating a connection. Examples are
TFTP, DNS (lookups only) and DHCP
Connection-Oriented Communication - TCP packets require a connection due to the size of the data
being transmitted and to ensure deliverability
TCP Flags - -total of 8 bits for 8 flags
SYN (Synchronize) Set during initial communication. Negotiating of parameters and sequence numbers
ACK (Acknowledgment) Set as an acknowledgement to the SYN flag. Always set after initial SYN
RST (Reset) Forces the termination of a connection (in both directions)
FIN (Finish) Ordered close to communications
PSH (Push) Forces the delivery of data without concern for buffering
URG (Urgent) Data inside is being sent out of band. Example is cancelling a message
TCP Handshake - SYN -> SYN-ACK - ACK
The protocol by which a client and server machine establish communication for the transfer of data.
