Re: Closed vs. Filtered
In the context of the thread title: "closed vs filtered" -- I think R2  got it right: said by R2 :
for TCP/IP ports:
Filtered = Stealth = no response at all is sent back to the requesting site.
Closed = a specific "port is closed" response is sent back to the requesting site.
I think the other interpretation is not consistent with what the thread author means in his thread title. JMHO, HTH
