TCP Port Connection & Socket Health Checker
Perform a raw 3-way TCP SYN/ACK handshake test against specific port numbers (80, 443, 22, 25, 3389, 5432). Verify firewall rules, service responsiveness, and connection latency.
Understanding TCP 3-Way Handshakes (RFC 9293)
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) establishes reliable connections using a 3-way handshake sequence (SYN → SYN-ACK → ACK) as specified in RFC 9293.
