The term '''half-open''' refers to [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] connections whose state is out of synchronization between the two communicating hosts, possibly due to a crash of one side. A connection which is in the process of being established is also known as '''embryonic connection'''. The lack of synchronization could be due to [[SYN flood|malicious intent]].
