Introduction: Computer and network security is a new and fast moving Technology and as such‚ is still being defined and most probably will always be “still defined”. Security incidents are rising at an alarming rate every year [Figure - 1]. As the complexity of the threats increases‚ so do the security measures required to protect networks. Data center

new self-propagating worms in 2001‚ some of which have been used to deploy DoS attack technology. Windows end-users and Internet routing technology have both become more frequent targets of intruder activity. The control mechanisms for DDoS attack networks are changing to make greater use of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) technology. The impacts of DoS attacks are causing greater collateral damage‚ and widespread automated propagation itself has become a vehicle for causing denial of service. While DoS
Premium IP address
numerical label assigned to each device participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there." The designers of the Internet Protocol defined an IP address as a 32-bit number and this system‚ known as IPv4‚ is still

Computer Networks Does anyone really know what networking is? “In the world of computers‚ networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data” (Networking Fundamentals). Now this is a great explanation but does this really help us understand? Networking has grown over many years. Where did networking come from? Lets go back to the beginning and find out how far we have come. Network research can be traced back to around the 1960’s.

(’nodes’ in network terminology) to a token ring local area network. Networking Devices ... Bridges - used to join two network segments together‚ it allows computers on either segment to access resources on the other - can also be used to divide large networks into smaller segments Networking Devices ... Routers - networking devices used to extend or segment networks by forwarding packets from one logical network to another - most often used in large internetworks that use the TCP/IP protocol

This white paper does not teach subnetting‚ it teaches useful methods for passing certification test questions. Overview of Subnetting The reason we subnet is to break larger IP networks into smaller ones. Often we have networks that are the same size. These use a fixed length subnet mask for all networks. Other network designs employ different subnet masks‚ depending on the number of addresses required for each subnet. This is called variable length subnet masking or VLSM. As I learned subnetting

Introduction If you’ve ever been a network administrator‚ the call you dread the most might be one you receive in the middle of the night by some panicked employee stating that a portion of your critical network has gone down. What troubleshooting options are available to provide answers to your network problem? Besides having a proactive helpdesk that can "read" the mind of your network‚ an important part of troubleshooting involves using a network protocol analyzer. If you’ve done your research
