Thank you for checking.

The test needs to drop SYN+ACK and currently it is done by iptables or
ip6tables. But it seems that I should not use them. Should this be done
by XDP?

iptables v1.8.5 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
