Unwanted RST TCP packet with Scapy

by

The article you cited makes this pretty clear…

Since you are not completing the full TCP handshake your operating system might try to take control and can start sending RST (reset) packets, to avoid this we can use iptables:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags RST RST -s 192.168.1.20 -j DROP

Essentially, the problem is that scapy runs in user space, and the linux kernel will receive the SYN-ACK first. The kernel will send a RST because it won’t have a socket open on the port number in question, before you have a chance to do anything with scapy.

The solution (as the blog mentions) is to firewall your kernel from sending a RST packet.
