Luckily I speak native English and Hex. ;-) Try this:
In one terminal window run:
tcpdump -nn -v -i lo
In another terminal window run:
hping -A -c 1 -p 5 127.0.0.1
hping -S -c 1 -p 5 127.0.0.1
You'll see the first packet causes a RST only to be returned. The second
will cause a RST/ACK to be returned. So either condition is a
possibility and a Netfilter rule base needs to handle both of them
appropriately.
HTH,
Chris
