Study Notes

Lecture on TCP IP network model, DNS, and HTTP protocols as part of a cybersecurity course
Objective to understand TCP IP network model, DNS, and HTTP protocols more deeply
Explanation of how computers communicate over a network using IP addresses and port numbers
Introduction to the TCP IP stack and network layers in communication
Emphasis on the importance of understanding network concepts for cybersecurity programming
Instructions on checking IP address on Windows and Mac systems
Tools like Telnet and NS lookup for network troubleshooting and diagnostics
HTTP protocol used for accessing web pages with examples like visiting Google or Facebook
Breakdown of a URL structure: protocol (HTTP), host (server name), resource (file or folder)
Overview of how browsers convert domain names to IP addresses using DNS service
Simplified explanation of packet communication between computers over a network- HTML instructs the browser to connect to a server, access a specific folder and retrieve a file.
HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, used to connect to servers on port 80 for standard connections or port 443 for secure connections.
HTTP is a set of rules defining commands like 'get' to request files from web servers.
HTTP response codes indicate the status of the request, such as 200 for success and 404 for file not found.
DNS (Domain Name System) functions as a global address book translating domain names to IP addresses.
DNS lookup tools like NS lookup can be used to find IP addresses for domain names.
Packets are data units sent over a network using TCP/IP protocol, visible in tools like Wireshark.
Wireshark captures network traffic, showing DNS requests/responses and HTTP request/response packets.
Understanding TCP/IP stack and packet structure is essential for Python programming involving network communication.
Communicating with the instructor for clarification and asking questions is crucial for understanding complex topics like networking.
