Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a penetration test, you face a stateful firewall that drops SYN-based scans. To slip past it and map services for a later session-hijacking attempt, you decide to send packets with arbitrary TCP flags, sequence numbers, and fragmentation so they mimic traffic from an already established flow. Which tool is best suited for crafting and transmitting these highly customized packets on the wire?

  • Nmap using a SYN stealth scan (-sS)

  • Nikto

  • hping3

  • tcpdump
