SYNDefender Gateway sends a FIN/ACK packet in immediate response to a server’s SYN/ACK
packet.

A.
True

B.
False

Explanation:

: This is false, when a SYNDefender Gateway configuration takes place in a checkpoint
implementation it will automatically reply “SYN/ACK” packets from clients with an “ACK” packet.
When the server receives the ACK packet from the gateway, the connection is moved out of the
backlog queue, and becomes an open connection as far as the server is concerned. If the
SYNDefender replies with a Fin/ACK as the question states, there will not be any connection,
because a FIN/ACK ends TCP sessions. See Page 6.7 of CCSE NG Official Courseware. (VPN1-FW1 Management II NG FP-1) .
