Incorrectly reports "Connection timed out" when querying a closed port #22

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Query a port on localhost that is closed but not filtered.
2. Use tcpdump or similar to observe returning RST messages
3. Note that the output of the tool does not reflect that a packet was 
returned, but instead reports a timeout.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When a port is closed and the remote system responds to the connection request 
with an RST packet, the output should indicate the fact that a response was 
received despite the port being closed. "Connection timed out" implies that no 
response was generated and that the host may be down/firewalled.

Connecting to localhost on TCP 65000:

Connection timed out
Connection timed out
Connection timed out
Connection timed out

Connection statistics:
    Attempted = 4, Connected = 0, Failed = 4 (100.00%)
Approximate connection times:
    Minimum = 0.00ms, Maximum = 0.00ms, Average = 0.00ms
