What is the way to decide how a packet will move from an untrusted outside host to a protected inside that is behind a firewall, which permits the hacker to determine which ports are open and if the packets can pass through the packet-filtering of the firewall?
- Session hijacking
- Firewalking
- Man-in-the middle attack
- Network sniffing

Firewalk has just completed the second phase (the scanning phase) and a technician receives the output shown below. What conclusions can be drown based on these scan results?
TCP port 21 – no response
TCP port 22 – no response
TCP port 23 – Time-to-live exceeded- The scan on port 23 was able to make a connection to the destination host prompting the firewall to respond with a TTL error
- The lack of response from ports 21 and 22 indicate that those services are not running on the destination server
- The scan on port 23 passed through the filtering device. This indicates that port 23 was not blocked at the firewall
- The firewall itself is blocking ports 21 through 23 and a service is listening on port 23 of the target host
