According to IEEE, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has remained a cornerstone of modern internet infrastructure for over five decades. One of its fundamental processes, the FIN handshake, ensures a controlled termination of a network session, preventing data corruption or sudden disconnections. Unlike an abrupt RST (Reset) termination, the FIN handshake involves a four-step process…
