A script which does exactly what you desrcibe is mentioned in the book
"hacking: the art of exploitation" by jon erickson only on a linux machine.

the basic idea is something like:

use tcpdump to monitor all incoming SYN packets not destined for any
listening service and then use a packet generation tool (such as nemsis) to
generate a packet with a seq#+1 and the SYN and ACK flags set.
