NULL Scan, all the way! It's like the ninja of scanning techniques - sneaky and silent. I bet it drives the firewall admins crazy trying to figure out what's happening.

Hmm, the FIN Scan sounds interesting. I wonder if it's a more stealthy approach compared to the SYN scan. Gotta keep those security professionals on their toes, right?

I'm not sure, but I think XMAS Scan is also a scanning technique that can be used for this purpose.

I agree with Jarvis, SYN scan is used to determine a port's state without making a full connection.

SYN scan is the way to go! It's a classic technique that allows you to determine a port's state without making a full connection. Efficient and effective, just the way I like it.
