Analyze the excerpt from a packet capture between the hosts 192.168.116.9 and 192.168.116.101. What factual conclusion can the tester draw from this output?

A filtered port produces no response (the SYN is silently dropped), while an open port returns SYN-ACK; the capture does not show the asymmetric pattern of one filtered and one open port.

Filtered ports are identified by the complete absence of any reply to a SYN probe; if both ports were filtered the capture would show no responses, contradicting the observable data.

In a TCP port scan visible in a packet capture, an open port is identified by a SYN-ACK response to the scanner's SYN packet, indicating the target is actively listening. If both ports 135 and 139 show SYN-ACK replies, both are open. A closed port returns RST-ACK, and a filtered port produces no reply at all.

A closed port returns a RST-ACK packet in response to a SYN probe; the capture does not show RST-ACK behavior for port 139, so it cannot be concluded that port 139 is closed.
