I think RFC 793 requires TCP stacks to send RSTs if they get packets not meant for them in some cases. Anyone know which cases?
For example, I think closed ports must send RSTs if they get stuff.
This is basis for bare FIN and Xmas tree scans IIRC.
Is this right??
Even if YES, it seems a firewall could drop any RSTs that don't have ACK set without damage right?
