GAQM Exam CPEH-001 Topic 6 Question 26 Discussion

The question is not telling you what state the port is being reported by the scanning utility, if the program used to conduct this is nmap, nmap will show you one of three states -- ''open'', ''closed'', or ''filtered'' a port can be in an ''open'' state yet filtered, usually by a stateful packet inspection filter (ie. Netfilter for linux, ipfilter for bsd). C and D to make any sense for this question, their bogus, and B, ''You cannot spoof + TCP'', well you can spoof + TCP, so we strike that out.
