Study Notes
Networking and Security Midterm
-
Protocols:
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): Reliable, connection-oriented transmission of data.
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol): Connectionless, less reliable, faster data transmission.
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Method for web clients and servers to communicate.
- HTTPS (HTTP Secure): Secure web communication using SSL/TLS.
- DNS (Domain Name System): Translates domain names to IP addresses.
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Transfers files between computers.
- SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol): Secure method for file transfers.
- TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol): Simple file transfer protocol.
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): Email transmission protocol.
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): Protocol for retrieving email messages.
- POP (Post Office Protocol): Protocol for retrieving email messages.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): Assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): Used to monitor and manage network devices.
- ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol): Used for network diagnostics and error reporting.
- SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security): Protocols for secure communication.
- SSH (Secure Shell): Secure network protocol for remote login.
- AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): Encryption method for data security.
- MAC (Media Access Control): Unique hardware address for network devices.
-
Network Concepts:
- Communication Protocols: Protocols for exchanging network information.
- Management Protocols: Protocols for monitoring and managing network activity.
- Security Protocols: Protocols for ensuring data security during transmission.
- Three-Way Handshake (TCP): SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK steps in establishing a TCP connection.
- Wireless Protocols and Standards: WPS, Wi-Fi, Wireless Security, WAPs (Wireless Access Points), WPA/WPA2.
Network Layer Protocols
- Unicast: Transmission to a specific destination.
- Broadcast: Transmission to all devices on the network.
- Multicast: Transmission to a group of devices.
- NIC (Network Interface Card): Component inside computers, converts data to network signals.
- Duplex (Network Connections): Half-duplex – transmit or receive, but not both simultaneously; Full-duplex– transmit and receive at the same time.
- MAC Addresses (Media Access Control), Unique identifiers for network devices, usually expressed as hex (hexadecimal) numbers including a manufacturer ID.
- Hubs: Early network devices that broadcast data to all connected devices.
- Switches: Modern network devices that selectively route data to the intended destination, improving efficiency.
- Routers: Devices that connect different networks and forward data between them.
Network Protocols, Models, and Security
- WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network): Network spread over a local area like a building, enabling network access from wireless devices, including smartphones.
- Service Set Identifier (SSID): Network name used by wireless devices to identify a network.
- Wi-Fi Modes: Infrastructure: Centrally managed data transmission within a network using a point or access point; Ad hoc: Direct peer-to-peer communication between devices.
- WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup): Security configuration protocol to quickly set up Wi-Fi security.
- Protection (Network): "Open" networks rely on SSIDs; password-protected networks are more secure.
- Data Transmission Methods: Exchange of data across a network.
- Instantaneous Data Transfer: Data transmission for online applications like chats and videoconferences.
- Digital Data Transmission: Method for capturing data in bits (0's and 1's) from voltage differences to transfer the data across a network.
